Overview

Aulūs Chania by Domes is presented as an ultra all-inclusive resort that places the sea at the heart of the guest experience, offering adults-only suites alongside a full range of room types and multi-venue dining. The property combines coastal architecture with tropical Mediterranean planting to offer a sequence of outdoor living spaces, from a floating sea deck to a quiet beach, and a wellness destination, Soma Spa “The Blissful”, which integrates ELEMIS and Codage Paris treatments into its menu of restorative services. The resort’s all-inclusive model covers premium drinks and curated dining, enabling guests to explore local flavours and international cuisine across multiple restaurants and bars.

Location

Set to take advantage of Crete’s shoreline and cultural attractions, the resort occupies a coastal position with direct visual and physical connections to the Aegean. Sea views are prominent from public terraces and many guest rooms, and the proximity to Chania’s Old Town makes the destination suitable for guests who wish to combine beachside relaxation with visits to the island’s historic centre. Landscaped tropical Mediterranean gardens provide a buffer between accommodation clusters and communal facilities, creating a sense of ordered outdoor space across the site.

Facilities

The resort features a combination of leisure, culinary and wellness facilities that support a comprehensive holiday stay. Multiple pools serve different room categories, including shared pools for open-plan suites and private pools for selected suites, while public amenities include a sea deck and a stretch of uncrowded beach. The Soma Spa “The Blissful” functions as the property’s wellness hub, offering professional treatments and rituals with high-end ELEMIS and Codage products. Additional facilities include a well-equipped gym and an organised schedule of movement classes and fitness sessions for guests.

Room

Guest accommodation reflects a contemporary Mediterranean aesthetic with earth-toned interiors, soft textures and extensive glazing to capture natural light. Room types include atrium and tropical garden rooms, sea-view rooms, open-plan suites with shared pools, plunge-pool suites and larger grand suites with private pools and terraces. Standard in-room features combine comfort and convenience, such as plush bedding, lounge areas, walk-in showers or baths, Nespresso machines and complimentary minibars replenished daily where specified.

Sports & Entertainment

The resort’s sports and leisure programme focuses on accessible fitness and wellness activities, providing free daily yoga and fitness sessions alongside Pilates and gym workouts. Sound-healing sessions form part of the movement offering, and the layout of the property supports easy transitions between pool, deck and beach for informal sporting or leisure pursuits. Social dining events and themed evenings create a lively evening atmosphere without relying on fixed show schedules, while the resort’s beachfront setting encourages passive recreation and water-edge enjoyment.

Dining & Bars

Dining at the resort is diverse, with a thematic international-Mediterranean buffet and several signature à-la-carte outlets that reflect Cretan, Greek, Italian and Asian culinary traditions. Restaurant options include a high-concept Asian venue serving refined sushi and sashimi, a coastal Italian trattoria offering rustic Mediterranean dishes, and a Meze concept focused on Greek sharing plates prepared from locally sourced ingredients. Bars throughout the property offer a selection of artisanal cocktails, premium wines and mixed drinks crafted to complement the coastal setting and the resort’s food programme.
