Cayo Exclusive Resort & Spa

Six tiers of stone carved into a steep Cretan hillside, connected by funicular, all facing Spinalonga Island across Elounda Bay. This clifftop resort in the village of Plaka keeps every room stocked with a private pool and sea view, marble bathrooms, and custom beds. Three infinity pools, a beach club, multiple restaurants and bars, and an open-air amphitheater fill the gaps between naps. The Michelin Guide lists it among its selected hotels.
