An Insider's Take
'Tucked into the sun-drenched hills of Elounda, Crete, NEMA Design Hotel & Spa is a boutique sanctuary where Aegean minimalism meets world-class luxury — a jewel in the Small Luxury Hotels of the World collection.' What's Special?

NEMA is a masterclass in understated elegance, with architecture that blends seamlessly into Crete's rugged landscape. Infinity pools seem to pour directly into the glittering Sea of Crete, while the acclaimed spa draws on ancient Minoan wellness traditions — the very civilization that flourished on this island over 3,000 years ago. Every suite is a private retreat with curated design details and breathtaking sea views.

WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a suite with a private plunge pool and ask the concierge to arrange a sunset cruise to Spinalonga — the hauntingly beautiful former Venetian fortress and leper colony just minutes offshore. It's an unforgettable Cretan experience few visitors get to enjoy at this level of exclusivity.
Don't Miss

Don't miss the chance to explore the nearby Palace of Knossos — Europe's oldest city and the legendary home of the Minotaur myth — just a short drive away. Back at the hotel, indulge in a signature spa journey and savor locally sourced Cretan cuisine, featuring world-renowned extra virgin olive oils and fresh-caught Mediterranean seafood.
