If you've never been to Crete, the Elounda Peninsula Resort & Spa alone is reason enough to visit. This sprawling paradise not only sets the standard for luxury resorts but also for hospitality and service. Every staff member, from Stavros and Panos to Klesei, Maria, Jason, Stravola, Alexandros, Nikolas, Giorgios, and Vasia, exuded the kind of warmth and professionalism that turns a stay into an unforgettable experience. The spa is a Six Senses-branded oasis that elevates wellness to an art form. With top-notch therapists and outstanding amenities, it's a sanctuary for both body and soul that stands head and shoulders above most spa experiences. When it comes to dining, every restaurant on the property is a culinary gem. I had the pleasure of visiting during the opening week of their newest addition, SUMOSAN. Tucked away in a quiet alcove of the hotel, this Japanese restaurant offers not just incredible food but an intimate and serene atmosphere as well. However, the crown jewel has to be IL BORRO TUSCAN BISTRO, owned by the world-renowned Ferragamo family. Their truffle pizza alone could easily claim the title of the best in the world. The revamped pool area is another highlight, its seamless landscaping transforming it into a genuine escape. Elies restaurant comes alive at night and is an experience not to be missed—just make sure to pre-order the lobster for the freshest dining experience. Even room service maintains the high culinary standards set by the restaurants, although I would advise against the poke bowls at the pool bar (however the Smoothies are amazing). What sets Elounda Peninsula Resort & Spa apart is its sense of community. Spread across multiple properties, you never feel isolated but always secure and well-taken care of. Whether you opt for a leisurely walk along the gorgeous grounds or a quick golf cart ride, you're always just a moment away from another delightful experience. I sincerely hope this resort gains affiliation with a larger global chain brand or even becomes a Six Senses property in its own right. It deserves a spot on the World's Top Luxury Hotels list without question. It's easily the best hotel in Crete, a top contender in Europe, and outstanding on a global scale.
