Venue History: After the successful opening of Blue Palace, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa in June 2003, the flourishing agreement with Luxury Collection of Starwood Hotels and Resorts in January 2004 and the expansion of the the property in 2007, the hotel has set very high standards for the future.
Other information: Blue Palace is situated a few hundred meters of the fishing village of Plaka, where life still moves along to the rhythm of another era and just 3 km. from the village of Elounda a world renowned tourism resort, of Lassithi prefecture. The magical landscape of Plaka & Elounda and the sea that surrounds the area glow like a sapphire under the azure light of the sky, rose-hued in summer afternoons, silvered on moonlit nights. To float in this sea or to observe it from further away is like dreaming with open eyes.
If there is a reason to visit Blue Palace it must be its unparalleled location with breathtaking sea views and not only. The resort sits opposite the isle of Spinalonga with its medieval fortress founded in 1579 by the Venetians. During the first few decades of 20th century, the island became a leper colony, giving the chance to its inhabitants to live a seemingly normal life (as vividly described in the international best seller The Island by Victoria Hislop). Extensive restoration has taken place recently, making Spinalonga a place not to be missed.
