Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort Elunda, Crete

Golf holiday at Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort – luxury, sea views and a 9-hole paradise on Crete

Golfers looking for a place that combines perfect golfing enjoyment, Mediterranean flair and first-class service should take a closer look at Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort on Crete. Located directly on the north-eastern coast of the island, near the charming fishing village of Elounda, this 5-star resort offers everything you could wish for in a relaxing and sporty getaway – including its own 9-hole golf course with sea views.

Golf with a view – the 9-hole golf course right next to the hotel

The hotel’s own 9-hole golf course (par 3) is perfect for relaxed play with short distances – ideal for warming up, technique training or quick rounds in between. The course is very well maintained, beautifully landscaped and, thanks to its elevated position, offers fantastic views over Mirabello Bay. Particularly convenient: as a hotel guest, you can go straight from breakfast to the course – no shuttle, no stress. For beginners, the Golf Academy with PGA pros offers excellent training opportunities. For those who prefer to play ‘the big game’, the 18-hole championship course Crete Golf Club is only about 40 minutes away.

Luxurious living with Mediterranean flair

Porto Elounda is not a classic golf hotel – and that’s exactly what makes it so special. Instead, guests stay in stylishly furnished rooms, many with their own pool or direct sea views. The complex is spacious, quiet and focused on quality. No mass tourism, just a relaxed, elegant atmosphere. Those who want to relax after a round of golf can enjoy the private hotel beach or the multi-award-winning Six Senses Spa – one of the best on the island.

Top-class cuisine

When it comes to cuisine, Porto Elounda never gets boring: from Cretan cuisine with fresh fish and olive oil to Mediterranean gourmet cuisine and Asian influences, everything is on offer. The breakfast buffet is extensive, high-quality and includes many fresh products. For gourmets, there are also a number of good tavernas in the area if you want to eat out.

Conclusion: Golfing in Crete with style and sea views

The Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort is perfect for golfers who value style, comfort and a small, fine course right on their doorstep. It is also ideal for couples where only one person plays golf – because there is so much to do away from the fairway: spa, beach, culture, excursions… Crete, in other words.
