When I think back on my time in Europe last summer, there are a few places that stick out in my mind and one of them was staying at Elea Resort in Oia on Santorini island. The Greek islands are the ultimate relaxation getaway and there was no place more perfect to unwind than at Elea Resort.
Read about my experience staying at Elea Resort in Oia below!
– About Elea Resort –
This adults only resort is beautifully designed in a modern yet traditional aesthetic with white washed buildings, stone and minimalistic features.
With just 17 rooms, Elea Resort feels very private, secluded and serene making it the perfect place to relax and soak in the beauty of Santorini!
The rooms are situated along the large swimming pool, each with a full or partial view of the stunning Aegean sea. In addition to the main swimming pool area, there is a smaller infinity pool with sun loungers that are ideal for watching Oia’s famous sunsets.
– Rooms at Elea Resort –
Elea Resort’s modern, minimalist aesthetic is carried throughout the rooms. We arrived after a long day traveling from Mykonos and were delighted to find that the bed was super comfortable! The amenities were also excellent with A/C (such a relief from the summer heat!), free WiFi, mini-bar, hairdryer, toiletries and fluffy robes (yes, please!).
Each room features a full or partial view of the sea and overlook the main pool. And, many of the rooms feature a private veranda and heated jacuzzi!
– Food at Elea Resort –
– Food at Elea Resort –The hotel has a restaurant and bar that looks out over the main pool so you can grab a drink or meal while relaxing poolside. The menu features traditional Greek fare that tasted both delicious and authentic.
In addition to the restaurant, the hotel offers room-service which we took full advantage for breakfast on our veranda!
– Location of Elea Resort –
– Location of Elea Resort –Elea Resort is located on Santorini island in the westerly part of Oia. The hotel is newly constructed so it has a unique location — while most hotels sit on the edge of Oia on the north west edge of the island (think: view of hundreds of white washed houses and blue domes), Elea Resort is situated outside of the center so it has an unobstructed view of the Aegean Sea. While its about a 10 minute walk into the center of town, I enjoyed being away from the crowds!
