Domes of Elounda

 

Summer has me thinking about all the warm places I’d like to visit around the world.  Sooner or later, I’ll see them all, regardless of  roadblocks.  In searching for luxurious spas and resorts, I came across an all suites and villas spa resort called Domes of Elounda, located on a Greek island called Spinalonga.

The villa features dome structures throughout the property, giving it a unique look.

Looking like a spaceship in the middle of the sea, the Domes features several of these dome shapes throughout the villa.

Ultraluxe Villa Bathroom.  Luxury is an understatement here.  The large shower and tub in the rear are big enough for a party.  And, we all need a tub of rose-petal water to wash our face with.

Domes Spa.  The exceptional Domes Spa draws on ancient Greek spa practices and uses the restorative benefits of the Mediterranean waters.  The focal point of the spa is the black mosaic sea water pool, surrounded by tinted glass.

Definitely the place to go for a cool drink to welcome in the setting sun.

 

All streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are.  Humility gives it its power.
