Phaea Blue

Conscious Luxury Between Plaka and Elounda. Where Cretan Soul Meets Culinary Artistry and Boutique Serenity.

Phaea Blue

Nestled between the iconic port town of Elounda and the traditional village of Plaka, Phaea Blue is a thoughtfully designed retreat that champions a new vision of luxury—one defined by authenticity, sustainability, and refined simplicity. A proud member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the resort is surrounded by Crete’s untamed beauty, offering panoramic views of Spinalonga Island, a treasured Greek National Monument.

With just 47 carefully curated bungalows and suites, the resort is intimate by design—each space reflecting earthy sophistication through organic materials, soft textures, and a neutral palette that invites peace and reflection. Every detail is intentional, fostering a deep connection to the land and local culture.

Culinary experiences are at the heart of the Phaea philosophy. Guests can enjoy traditional dishes at the iconic Blue Door, modern Mediterranean cuisine at the acclaimed Anthos, or hyper-local, seasonal dishes at Bostani, a garden-to-table dining concept powered by Phaea Farmers. These gastronomic journeys reflect the region’s heritage, enhanced by creative, sustainable practices.

Complementing the resort’s mindful luxury is a suite of wellness offerings—from spa therapies and outdoor fitness facilities to yoga, meditation, and Pilates, all set against a backdrop of wild Cretan landscapes.
