London - Domes, Greece’s prestigious luxury lifestyle hospitality brand, has announced the relaunch of its ultra all-inclusive sub-brand Aulūs, this coming spring with the introduction of two new hotels in April 2026; Aulūs Chania , Curio Collection by Hilton (adults-only) in Crete, and Aulūs Lindos Rhodes , Curio Collection by Hilton (family friendly).
They will join the two current hotels in the portfolio, Domes Aulūs Elounda, Curio Collection by Hilton (adults-only) and Domes Aulūs Zante, Autograph Collection (family friendly).
The rebrand of Aulūs follows the resurgence and growing demand for all-inclusive trips as consumers seek stress free, flexible and comfortable stays - particularly amongst millennials and Gen Z audiences, as well as families. The global all-inclusive market was estimated at $95.6 billion in 2024 and is set to grow at an annual rate of 7.1% from 2025 to 2033. According to ABTA, 40% of UK travellers aged 44 and under are planning an all-inclusive holiday, and 57% of respondents amongst those with young families.
From family focused resorts to adults-only havens, Aulūs presents ultra all-inclusive retreats with retained sophistication. The new Aulūs concept is shaped around three pillars: Culinary, Entertainment and Wellness, each designed to define the guest experience. Guests enjoy a 24-hour curated buffet alongside à-la-carte restaurants with unrestricted visits, complemented by a considered selection of Greek wines and premium drinks chosen by Domes experts and available across all restaurants and bars. Hybrid crafted grab-and-go and serve-yourself beach and pool service ensures effortless indulgence throughout the day, while two bars open nightly host speakeasy experiences, themed evenings, DJ sets and interactive mixology workshops. Every room features a fully stocked minibar, replenished daily, adding to the seamless all-inclusive experience.
Wellness and culture are at the heart of Aulūs, with open sessions of yoga, Pilates and sound-healing, twice-weekly Greek ‘’Panigiria’’ where food, music and dance become a joyful, open-air celebration, and a signature show night designed as a shared communal experience. Guests are also invited to enjoy a curated evening out at a selected local venue within easy reach, creating authentic connections with the destination beyond the resort.
Located in the charming village of Stavros on northern Crete, Aulūs Chania by Domes will comprise 200 spacious rooms and suites, three main pools plus a floating sea deck with sunbeds and lounge areas, Domes’ signature and award-winning SOMA Spa, and a fully equipped gym. The hotel will be home to indoor and outdoor event spaces and accompanied by an on-site chapel for weddings. On one of the island’s most scenic coastlines, it is only 25 minutes away from Chania's old harbour town and its layered Mediterranean architecture.
Further east, on the southeastern coast of Rhodes, Aulūs Lindos Rhodes by Domes will open as a beachfront five-star family resort near the village of Lardos, brilliantly situated for exploring local towns and villages such as Kiotari and Lindos. With 188 contemporary rooms and suites - the majority with private pools or outdoor Jacuzzis - and a range of family accommodations including interconnected and multi-bedroom options, it is ideal for multi-generational trips. Across four restaurants, a SOMA Spa, gym, tennis courts and Montessori-inspired Kids' Club, the hotel will welcome guests of all ages for an elevated, cultural experience.
Both properties have proudly joined Curio Collection by Hilton portfolio, that is rapidly developing in Greece over the last years.
With the relaunch of Aulūs as an ultra all-inclusive conceptual brand for adults-only and families, we are thrilled to bring our vision to life with this unique hospitality concept. Rooted in the emotional beginnings of Domes in Crete and now spanning six resorts on the island, as well as Aulūs Lindos Rhodes in southeastern Greece, Aulūs reflects our ambition to combine elevated cuisine, innovative services and local character with curated experiences, that allow guests to truly connect with Greek culture.
Our aim is to make holidays feel easy, generous and deeply authentic, so guests can feel at home while enjoying island life the Greek way. We are excited for collaborating with AROUNDTOWN SA, one of the largest hotel owners in Europe, for the very first time in this one-of-a-kind destination in Chania. Dr. G. Spanos, CEO of Domes
