Domes Aulus Elounda, Adults only, Curio Collection by Hilton
Elounda, Greece · ★ 4.4 Exceptional B.Booking.com 8.7
Bright plunge pool on a private terrace overlooking Mirabello Bay, with views of rocky islands and the Cretan coast.
The Queen Sapphire Zen Suites at Domes Aulus offer a hotel with a private in-room jacuzzi in Elounda that feels more like a private villa than a hotel room. Step onto your terrace and you're met with a turquoise plunge pool framed by the Cretan landscape: bare hills rolling down to impossibly blue water, small islands dotting the bay. The water's warm, the light is clean, and there's nothing between you and that view but glass.
The pool sits on a sprawling terrace that wraps around the suite, with loungers and pillows built into the stone. It's the kind of place where you'll lose track of time. The adults-only property means the quiet stays quiet. Guests rate it 8.7 out of 10, and once you're in the water watching the light change across the bay, you'll understand why.

Questions, answered
Where exactly is the pool?+
It's on your private terrace, not in the bathroom. You step straight out onto it from the suite, with full views over Mirabello Bay and the surrounding islands.
Is this place quiet?+
Yes. It's adults-only, which means families with young children aren't here. The terraces are private and spread out, so you won't hear much beyond the water and the occasional bird.
Which area of Elounda gives the best views from an in-room tub?+
Properties along the bay-facing hillside above the town offer the most arresting water views, with Mirabello Bay and the island of Spinalonga visible from your terrace or tub. It's worth checking whether your suite faces the bay directly before booking, as some look inland.
What's the best time of year to visit Elounda for a private-tub stay?+
Late May to early June and September are the sweet spots: the sea is warm, the light is golden, and prices sit noticeably below the July and August peak that pushes rates toward the top of the €147 to €287 nightly range we see across our listed properties.
