With four beachfront resorts across Greece catering for the family and adults-only market, Ella Resorts has an attractive offering for your discerning clients.
The brand launched with the adults-only, five-star Ella Elissa in Rhodes in 2021, followed by family-friendly, five-star Ella Helea on the same island in 2023.
Last year it opened the doors to the five-star, adults-only Ella Alkyna in Corfu. And its fourth property – the family-friendly Ella Rocrita – recently made its debut in Crete in March. Fans of the brand will be pleased to know the portfolio is set to expand further, with openings planned across Greece and the wider region.
All four resorts are ideal for clients who want to be immersed in the spirit of the destination, showcasing the character, culture and natural beauty of each location. Guests are encouraged to explore beyond the resort, with the concierge team offering suggestions of activities and attractions. Designed as eco-conscious resorts, the brand works closely with local farms and producers, and chefs incorporate local recipes and ingredients into menus. Themed nights and events also showcase regional traditions.
A key selling point of all four resorts is Ella Resort’s promise of an “all in one experience”. Guests are assured of exceptional hospitality, and with options from signature gastronomy concepts and immersive culinary experiences to thoughtfully designed wellness and craft programmes, clients can enjoy a complete lifestyle experience.
Spotlight on Crete: introducing Ella Rocrita
Located on the north-east coast of Crete, close to the fishing village of Agios Andreas, the new family-friendly Ella Rocrita opened on 27 March. It offers 358 rooms and suites, ranging from spacious deluxe rooms with sea views, through to two-bedroom suites with private gardens and pools.
It features five restaurants, which span a lavish buffet, an Italian trattoria, Greek and Mediterranean dishes and South American and Cretan fusion cuisine. Younger guests enjoy child-friendly menus and engaging dining experiences, and the hotel also boasts three bars and an all-day poolside Street Food Hub.
If guests can tear themselves away from the two outdoor pools, the resort’s facilities include the calm and inviting Roée Wellness spa, alongside a fitness studio, yoga and meditation classes and personal training sessions. They can get crafty in pottery and painting classes led by local artists and enjoy movie and theatre nights at the open-air theatre. For something active, the Diving Centre and Water Academy offers a host of activities, and there are hiking, jogging and biking routes, as well as regular sports tournaments.
Children will enjoy the themed playgrounds – including one with a ninja pool – while family activities such as sports games and cooking classes promise plenty of special time together. And if parents want to enjoy the resort’s adult-focused amenities, full or half-day kids’ programmes will keep children entertained, and an evening nanny service is also available.
This is a superb choice for design-conscious clients. Guests can expect earthy tones, intricate frescoes and natural materials that evoke the grandeur of the Minoan civilisation that once ruled the island. Decor in the rooms and suites has been inspired by local treasures such as the island's ancient Phaistos Disc clay artifact, and the wooden thrones of Crete's Knossos Palace.
