Pool + Gym

Two cliffside pools and a private beach.

Two cliffside pools and a private beach sit at the heart of the outdoor offering, with concierge services on hand to help shape your time on the island. The fitness offering runs from an indoor gym to outdoor sessions on the waterfront, with seaside yoga, garden training, and sunrise meditation with views across Elounda Bay. The overall aim is to align you with the nature of the island and help you center your body, mind, and spirit.
Spa

Ancient Greek rituals meet ELEMIS, in the award-winning Soma Spa.

Soma Spa restores what has been lost and leads you toward a sense of completeness, combining the healing rituals of Ancient Greece with the most recent techniques and ELEMIS products. Skilled therapists guide each session in a setting that merges classic spa elegance with contemporary well-being for something that feels both timeless and results-driven.
Restaurant + Bar

From Greek meze to Nikkei Peruvian, and everything in between.

The main buffet restaurant serves Cretan and Mediterranean cooking across breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a casual, multicultural setting. For something more focused, Vatanee, helmed by Chef Dionysis Anastopoulos, brings ancient Greek culinary traditions into a modern shared meze format, celebrating the communal ritual of the Greek table. Yellow Sea offers an à la carte Asian menu at dinner, with sushi rolls, sashimi, and more. At Amphiteátro, two concepts run side by side: Tesoro Mio for Italian antipasti, signature pizzas, and Mediterranean sharing plates in an intimate outdoor setting, and PITA Canteen for Greek pita wraps with souvlaki. Exclusive to Cool Living Selection guests, Greco Levante's The Griglia rounds out the offering with Nikkei Peruvian cuisine, grilled burgers, high-end cocktails, and sea views throughout the day. For drinks, there are four bars that together cover everything from morning to midnight. The Blu Bar in the lobby pours a long list of wines, spirits, and non-alcoholic options in a relaxed setting throughout the day. At the Amphiteátro, the Spiritzeria focuses on mixology and classic cocktails with sea views from early evening. Down at the beach, Ammos serves frozen cocktails, iced coffees, and grab-and-go options with a laid-back soundtrack. Cool Living Selection guests also have access to the Greco Levante Bar, open from morning until midnight with high-end cocktails and some of the best sea views on the property.
