Overview

Aulūs Chania by Domes is an ultra all-inclusive five-star resort on the coast of Crete that combines contemporary Mediterranean design with a strong emphasis on sea-facing experiences and adults-only accommodation options. The resort offers a comprehensive all-inclusive package that covers multiple dining venues, premium bars and a curated drinks list, together with a signature wellness offering at Soma Spa “The Blissful” which employs ELEMIS and Codage Paris products. Accommodation ranges from garden rooms to sea-view suites with private pools, and public areas include a floating sea deck and direct access to an uncrowded beach, creating a coherent guest experience that reflects local flavours and coastal living.

Location

Positioned to make the most of Chania’s coastal setting, the property sits moments from the water and provides easy access to the Old Town’s character and cultural rhythm. Sea views form a defining element of the resort, with many rooms and public spaces orientated towards sweeping vistas of the Aegean. Tropical Mediterranean gardens weave through the property, framing outdoor terraces and pools and reinforcing the hotel’s relationship with the island landscape while allowing guests to move between beach, deck and hotel facilities with minimal transit.

Facilities

Facilities are organised around relaxed outdoor living, culinary variety and a dedicated wellness centre. The resort’s public areas include a floating sea deck and multiple pool settings, including shared and private pools linked to specific suites. The Soma Spa “The Blissful” offers a programme of professional treatments using high-end ELEMIS and Codage Paris products, and the wellness offering is complemented by a gym and classes such as yoga, Pilates and sound-healing. Complementary fitness and movement sessions are provided, and guests can expect a comprehensive minibar and Nespresso provision in the room as standard.

Room

Rooms and suites are finished in an earthy, natural palette with materials and textures that reference Mediterranean light and landscape. Options span garden-facing rooms, panoramic sea-view rooms, swim-up rooms and suites with plunge or private pools, each featuring king beds, walk-in showers or deep bathtubs, lounge areas and balconies or verandas. Select suites provide extended living areas and private terraces with pools for guests seeking seclusion, while core room amenities include a complimentary minibar, Nespresso machine and a dedicated workspace where specified.

Sports & Entertainment

Daily movement and leisure are woven into the resort’s offer with a variety of complimentary classes and gym sessions designed to suit different energy levels, from yoga and Pilates to sound-healing and fitness workshops. The resort’s setting encourages water-edge activities and relaxed poolside time on its floating sea deck and uncrowded stretch of beach. Evenings are framed around social experiences and themed culinary events that showcase regional cuisine and create opportunities for live interaction rather than fixed entertainment programming.

Dining & Bars

Culinary provision spans a thematic buffet and several à-la-carte options that draw on Cretan, Greek, Italian and Asian influences, with menus that emphasise locally sourced ingredients and regional dishes. Guests can choose between a Mediterranean-focused buffet and specialist outlets such as a high-concept Asian restaurant with sushi and sashimi and an open-air Italian trattoria serving antipasti and pizzas, plus a Meze venue offering Greek sharing plates. Bars serve a selection of premium-brand drinks, curated wine lists and inventive cocktails inspired by coastal flavours, supporting a broad beverage programme across the property.
