- Join me on full tour of Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas. The first fully-fledged five-star resort in Greece, Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas put the the sleepy fishing village of Elounda in northeast Crete on the map in 1971. Since then half a dozen pretenders have squeezed into Mirabello bay, jostling for a sea-view slot, but Elounda Beach will always have the prime position.

I live in a third world country and I don't make so much money to travel abroad. Not even once. But almost everyday I turn on my TH-cam to see the luxury travel expert channel. Well this is not an inspiring story but it is my story.
money and luxury do not equal happiness. Mental health and one's own well being can though.
I live in a third world country too, it’s called United States of America. Wasn’t a third world country until recently.
In all seriousness, money won’t make a difference. That’s why you see the happiest people are in countries that are poorer. I’ve visited quite a few ‘third’ world countries and never seen happier people.
Come to America and the majority of people here are on medications because of how unhappy they are with their life, despite having all the materialistic things that ‘should’ make you happy based on the commercials etc we see. Like this video for example 😁
To be fair, I’ve stayed in many of these hotels and all this “luxury” is often overrated. It’s not that’s great. A beach is a beach, and I’ve had better food in third world restaurants off the main road than in many luxury hotels. Although this is all well filmed so it’s fun to watch.
Don't worry be happy I live in Greece and I can't go anywhere because of money the same problem!
How can i rejoice these concrete buildings when nature to me is more beautiful . And scenery and nature is equally good in 3 rd world country .
I am from india , india is developing but earlier it was poor ( now i dont know if it is still considered poor or not ) but it has most beautiful landscape and scenery and it has all 7 star hotels too .
But you can stay in a hostel and enjoy the nature , landscape than enjoying the grandeur of hotel .
Nature is much more beautiful for me .
Depression in usa is way more common than the people in poor countries , in india people are poor yet they donate ( same things may happens with other countries as i dont know , so cant tell , but people in rural india are so pure and good whereas in cities, people have money but are depressing, cruel and wicked .
The one which has less money lives blissfully in mountains , near forests but the one with money cries in Mercedes .
Ps - i am from upper middle class family with lot of property inherited so i am rich ( aint a thing to boast as I consider money equal to trash if it cannot help others or provide happiness to family, society, community ) , i live in city and have seen village life as used to live there till class 8 . Money could never solve my anxiety and depression problem rather gratitude, humility and practising spirituality did make my life go blissful
the moments when you stop the music and we can hear the waves and the actual sounds make the watcher experience ever more real!
Mesmerising experience
Thank goodness. I sure need a mini virtual vacation during these times. 2020 my worst year ever.
Amen
The sea is so blue and clear and not a cloud in the sky. Heaven!!
These clips give me feeling as if I am myself physically there. It inspires me to think Great, dream Great and do the best to achieve it.
Thank You!!!!☺
The children travelling with you are the luckiest to experience such luxury travel all over the world, thanks for sharing these videos, we all need an escape from this painful reality of 2020!
Great review. Crete is an amazing island if you are interested in archaeology. There are numerous sites dotted around the island. My favourites are Phaistos and Malia which are both amazing ruins to explore. Knossos is always swarming with tourists. The Phaistos disk can be seen in the Heraklion musem which is well worth a visit. The Samaria Gorge in the western part of Crete is also an amazing place if you like a good hike, although I would not recommend it for anyone who is not reasonably fit, and I would not attempt it during the months of July and August when it is incredibly hot. I really miss travelling although I am writing off the first half of 2021 as well as the rest of this year. Your reviews however are the next best thing.
Amazingly awesome, such a huge property catering to all the possible needs of affluent guests. Designs, the huge lobby, specially the entire building for spa is unique. A fishing village blessed by huge hospitality for the tourists.
Fabulous! Nice to see the entire family together again.
Gorgeous! If there is a beach party, perfect 💯
What a memorizing place. Again thank you and be safe. Hopefully the airlines won't jack up the tickets, when we can all travel again.
Life sweet life
This Chanel take me out of all bad things in life
God bless you doctor
doesn't it feeds depressions and thoughts that you'll never actually be there?
@@paradonym never say never
Stayed at this hotel on my honeymoon a few years back ...it did not disappoint ! Timeless elegance and quality and oh so romantic ! It's all in the details which you can't capture unless you are there :)
Tranquil and beautiful 💜 that's the way life should be 💜
Amazing Video!👌👍
One of your best videos ...very relaxing..this along with the ones from Indonesia two years ago... are among your best..thanks for bringing a little light to a very dark 2020...it is so needed..i can escape every Saturday for a little respite..😊
Your videos always put a smile on my face! Absolutely stunning from beginning to end!!🥰😍
Beautiful yet untouchable. Can't afford the surgery I need let alone vacationing in one of the resorts featured in your videos. But Happy that I can at least see through your eyes.
Once again you have left me speechless. What a wonderful "ULTRA LUX" vacation that you enjoyed. And, its family friendly too. Your villa had that "HIGH END LUXURY" feel and I loved the ocean views. Thanks for taking your viewers along for this Phenomenal vacation.
nice to see the kiddos having family fun on the jet ski / golf !
See I knew Heraklion had to be on that list of yours. And Olivia and Viktor got to tag along. (read: Very jealous) I loved the surf float sequence. And i had to laugh out loud when they wiped out ! it looked like so much fun ! I love Greek history, thank you for sharing that with us. Reminds me of the scene over at AmanZoe. I picture togas, in dark burgundy, blue and white. hair all done up with gold pins, nymphs playing lyres by the fire pit at sunset no less, and OH, a LOT of wine ...
Another great video!!!
Very peaceful and uplifting...
Hugely informative well put together video as usual. Great, well done!
30:47 I was sold the moment I saw the cat.
Magnificent! I feel as though I've been to Crete, thank you.
Great video as always! My father kept watching your videos on his television.
We do this all the time 😊
This is amazingly beautiful. In fact my neighbor conceived when she was in Crete and named the baby girl after the name of this beautiful place.
Blue sky and blue sea!
Thank you for your video. Fly and vacation safely.
Beautiful..💙💙💙
V & O always have such a good time--it's a pleasure to see! So nice to see the blue water lapping on the beach. Thank you for another virtual get-away-very much needed right now.
Amazing! So beautiful! Love Greece!
Lovely place. Wishing you and your family health and happiness . Thank you for your amazing videos x
I love the channel is the best way to end the day. I'm still looking at the old videos from 3 years ago but they are relaxing. Thank you for your videos I have seen the evolution of the shots and the details
I love this hotel. Can remember when they added the bar on the small peninsula. It's 15 years ago or even longer. It hasn't lost any of its charme.
Always a great stay.
I saw this on The Bachelorette. I've been mesmerised ever since. Thank you for this video ! 🌍♥️♥️
Simply gorgeous scenery, breathtaking views, this is why I look forward to Saturdays to see another new and exiting video, love the hypnotizing background music, so calming👍Again, Thank you so much 😊 for the wonderful video.I can only dream being there🇬🇷

So Beautiful.....
I love your videos . Serene and relaxing. I start my day with a cup of green tea and your videos before work out. Amazing work. Thank you.
Whaouuu looks stunning, the food looks delicious... thanks
Dearest Probo Hindarto, you and your story are indeed very inspiring. Clarity of mind, keeping a joyful heart, gratitude, loyalty, humility, charity for others and a spirit of curiosity are priceless treasures beyond any riches. Never stop exploring and learning. The world is really very small. Define your own luxury. One day soon you will be an amazing writer.
Thank you a lot, dear Maestro! I am breathing with you while watching this "art of presentation" as a professional pianist-composer, who feels an each detail and movement there.. It's amazing how you synchronize piacture and sound like a symphony! Bravo!!
Ok, I have one question for ya, where do you find the music for your videos? It's so calming! I like to watch your videos before heading to bed. Speaking of which, goodnight.
The music is from Musicbed.com
That's funny! It literally has bed in the website name! You can't make that up...lol!
Quiet , cozy and beautiful place to stay ! A luxury hotel where you can forget about work and worldly vanity ! Best moments : 20 and 24 minutes - children's joy is above all ! My heartfelt thanks dear The Great Expert for Your new amazing video !

Dear Fans ! Let your rest become for you as an actively
pursue goal !
One of beautiful greece islands! Nice video tour!👏😍
A lovely visit to Crete, thank you!
Woooow this is too much thanks Luxury Travel. Been to Chania Crete 2019 in Cabana Mare oooh Greece is beautiful you'll never go wrong ..let's keep on traveling. Greetings from South Africa
Awesome video and information enjoy the music
I lived in Agia Pelagia for a year. I love Crete. I've only been to Agia Nicholas on the west side of the Island. Elounda Beach looks great! That hotel looks out of my price range. But it's nice to experience it and others through your videos. Thanks! Oh by the way, did you sample the local "raki"? The people in Crete are proud of their homemade alcohol. They have barrels of it out for sample in the streets of Heraklion and Agia Pelagia!
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
My God you got a jump start. And you picked an awesome destination .
Fantastic 👍😊💯
Greece is beautiful 🇬🇷👏
Que hermosa está esa playa de Grecia. Y el hotel super agradable al igual que el clima. Saludos 🙋🏻♀️
I liked the fireplace
Elounda is a beautiful little village, with Plaka nearby it is excellent for visiting Spinalonga.
AWESOME
Eagerly waiting for your videos every Saturday....
Great vid
😘 beautiful
C'est beau et en plus vous avez de merveilleux enfants
....wow!!
Hello, Elounda Beach for me used to be a 5star luxury resort in the older dates but not any more. The yacht suites and the waterfront suites are the only refurbished part of the resort, everything else is so out of date. There are other truly 5star luxury properties in the area like Blue Palace and Minos Beach.
I wonder if that was one reason he was upgraded, to feature the best part of the resort? But whatever reason, his suite was phenomenal indeed!!!!
Great video
Thx
Love 💕
Beautiful place. We have our eyes on a few places in Greece to review - and this one has just been added to the list. I guess we'll just follow in your footsteps :-)
Sehr schöne Strand diese Jahr sieht ein bisschen ruhiger aus.
have been on Elounda Beach about 50 years ago, quite a difference...problems with electricity, running water etc. but nice indeed!
Very nice
Nice video
Wow
Nice one but I am missing the last luxurious touch. When you step out of your Phenomenal Villa to the sun deck the floor is made of concrete. This looks pretty simple and standard
Im going in September for my honeymoon . I can’t wait. Any suggestions would be appreciated, sights to see? Avoid? Even restaurants
Oh man...this is the spot of my dreams..berth place of the Greek god ZEUS...Heraklion looks like a place i would just melt way in total bliss. Was this trip during COVID-19? 6:30 love the furniture here. I am totally a beach guy/water baby..not into pools at all..water looks really nice 15:30 .
I'm really jealous of you....
Still keep up the good work...
Soon I'll be posting such videos
You give me a Zen moments, thank you. I would love to know how you get to do it. I'm a beginner but I hope to be there one day.
I love your lifestyle bless yoy my love 💓
just one suggestion: could you reference the name of the background music at the end of your each video clip as well? they are awesome!!
I love seeing you walk in the mirror when you filming the room
Luxurious indeed it is., is but when I see this bare environment, unexisting nature, no greenery just stone, sand and rocks my heart starts crying??
Did you know the island of Spinalonga was also a leper colony.??
AMANZING 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
13:25 them views tho 😍
FIRST... :) EAGERLY WAIT EVERY SATURDAY..
Ill be there with my family
