Sun-drenched islands, ancient history and spectacular coastlines make Greece one of the Mediterranean's most captivating destinations, where every region brings its own distinct character.
Greece combines sun-drenched islands, ancient history and spectacular coastlines, where whitewashed villages, crystal-clear seas and a relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle create one of Europe's most enduringly popular destinations. From the iconic landscapes of Santorini and Mykonos to lesser-known islands and historic mainland regions, every journey feels connected to both the sea and the country's remarkable past.
Beyond its famous islands, Greece reveals mountain villages, ancient archaeological sites, vibrant cities and beautiful peninsulas that showcase the country's impressive diversity. Historic landmarks, traditional tavernas, secluded beaches and picturesque harbours sit alongside contemporary culture and a hospitality that remains central to everyday life.
Long summers invite island hopping, sailing and waterfront dining, while spring and autumn offer ideal conditions for exploring ancient ruins, countryside landscapes and coastal towns. Across the country, luxury resorts, boutique hideaways, elegant villas and characterful hotels provide memorable bases for experiencing the very best of Greece.
Katikies Mykonos sits above Agios Ioannis, delivering an adults only stay defined by wide Aegean views, privacy and a level of polish that feels immediate without ever becoming overdone. The hotel unfolds across a series of stepped levels that follow the natural line of the hillside, with terraces and walkways linking each space in a way that keeps the sea constantly in view. There is a natural rhythm to how the property works, with open areas flowing easily into one another and enough space between them to avoid any sense of crowding. It feels settled and balanced, with a quiet confidence that comes from getting the fundamentals right rather than trying to impress. The atmosphere shifts gently through the day. Mornings are calm and unhurried, afternoons centre around the terraces and pools, and by evening there is a soft lift in energy without it ever becoming dominant. It is a place that feels composed at all times, with everything working in a way that feels easy and instinctive. para-2 The suites are arranged to make the most of both privacy and outlook, each opening onto a terrace with uninterrupted sea views. Space is used well, giving each room a sense of openness without feeling excessive, and the layout encourages time spent both inside and out. Private pools and outdoor jetted tubs feature across many categories, becoming part of the everyday experience rather than something reserved for special occasions. Even the more straightforward rooms maintain a strong sense of seclusion, with clean interiors that keep the focus on the setting rather than unnecessary detail. para-3 There are four main dining and bar spaces: Botrini’s Mykonos, Mikrasia, Upper Deck Lounge and Lower Deck Lounge, along with the Fleur de Miraval Champagne Bar. Botrini’s Mykonos brings a more refined Mediterranean approach, while Mikrasia introduces a menu influenced by Byzantine cuisine, giving the dining offering more depth than many hotels on the island. The Upper and Lower Deck Lounges keep things more relaxed through the day, serving lighter dishes and drinks, while the Champagne Bar adds a more polished setting as the evening settles in. para-4 The two infinity pools sit at the centre of the hotel, positioned to look directly out towards the sea, and naturally become where most of the day is spent. They are designed for long, uninterrupted time rather than constant movement, with plenty of space around them to keep the atmosphere controlled. There is a social element, particularly later in the day, but it remains measured. It never tips into something overwhelming, which allows the overall tone of the hotel to stay consistent. para-5 The A.SPA provides a quieter setting for treatments, alongside a fitness centre, giving a balance between relaxation and activity without feeling like a separate part of the hotel. para-6 Located around 500 metres from Agios Ioannis Beach and a short drive from Mykonos Town, the hotel offers easy access to the island while holding onto a more private, elevated position above the coastline.
From £200 per night
Set high above the Aegean on the hillside of Agios Fokas, KOIA All-Suite Wellbeing Resort is an adults-only retreat where space, perspective and a deliberately restrained sense of luxury shape a far more contemplative stay than most on Kos. The architecture takes its cue from classical Greek proportion, but strips it back to something quieter and more architectural in feel. Clean, geometric forms, pale stone and natural textures create a sense of order and permanence, while the stepped layout allows each level to open fully towards the horizon. Nothing feels accidental here; every line, opening and terrace is positioned to frame the sea and control the flow of light throughout the day. What defines the property most is not just its design, but its pacing. Movement through the resort is intentionally slowed, with wide walkways, framed viewpoints and moments of stillness built into the layout. It creates a subtle shift in rhythm, where the setting encourages you to pause rather than pass through. para-2 All accommodation is suite-based, but more importantly, each is designed as a self-contained space rather than simply a room with added features. Private pools sit at the centre of the experience, not as an upgrade, but as part of the core design language, extending the living space outward into the landscape. Sea view suites deliver the most complete expression of the concept, where the boundary between interior and exterior almost disappears. Partial sea view and hot tub suites feel slightly more contained, but still maintain that sense of separation and privacy. Across all categories, interiors remain deliberately understated, allowing scale, light and outdoor space to take precedence over decoration. para-3 Dining is handled with a similar sense of control. At Thyme Restaurant, the focus is on clarity rather than complexity, with Mediterranean and Greek dishes built around local ingredients and presented without unnecessary embellishment. The hybrid dining format is carefully balanced, avoiding the excess that often comes with broader buffet concepts. Thyme Botanic Garden shifts the atmosphere in the evening, offering a more intimate, slower-paced setting, while the poolside restaurant and bar provide a softer, daytime alternative. Across all spaces, the emphasis remains consistent: relaxed, unforced and quietly refined rather than performative. para-4 The experience is intentionally inward-looking. Days unfold between private terraces, the infinity pool and the elevated vantage points that define the resort’s position, with the private beach offering a change of setting rather than the main focus. Wellbeing is present throughout, but never imposed. Yoga, Pilates and guided experiences are integrated into the daily rhythm in a way that feels optional rather than structured, allowing the stay to remain personal rather than programme-driven. para-5 The Ydor wellness space continues this approach, positioned slightly apart from the main flow of the resort to create a more contained, immersive environment. Indoor pool, steam bath and treatment areas are designed with the same architectural clarity, reinforcing the sense of calm rather than introducing contrast. Treatments draw on natural, herb-based principles inspired by Hippocratic philosophy, but are delivered with restraint, keeping the focus on restoration rather than ritual or theme. para-6 Located around 7 kilometres from Kos Town, KOIA occupies a hillside position that feels deliberately removed from the island’s busier coastal stretches, offering a quieter, more elevated perspective while still allowing access to the wider area when needed.
From £140 per night
Set just above Korfos Beach, Aeonic Suites & Spa offers a calmer side of Mykonos, where the island’s energy is close enough to dip into, yet the atmosphere within the hotel feels composed, spacious and quietly confident. The design is disciplined but never cold. Crisp white forms are softened with stone, marble and warm oak, creating a tactile contrast that gives the spaces real depth. Terraces open naturally towards the light, and the layout encourages an easy flow between inside and out, so the whole property feels settled rather than styled. There is a sense of restraint throughout, with nothing unnecessary competing for attention. para-2 The all suite setup gives the hotel a more residential feel, with 40 suites designed around privacy and space. Many include private pools or hot tubs, which quickly become central to how you spend your time here. Interiors are deliberately pared back, using texture and proportion rather than decoration to create comfort. Sea view suites stand out in particular, not for excess, but for how naturally they frame the horizon, especially in the slower morning hours. para-3 Dining revolves around one main restaurant and two distinct bar spaces, giving just enough variety without overcomplicating things. Cove Restaurant delivers a more refined take on Greek and Mediterranean cooking, best enjoyed in the evening when the terrace settles into a quieter rhythm. During the day, the Cove Bar and Kyano Lobby Bar handle everything else, from early coffee through to late cocktails, keeping the experience fluid rather than structured. para-4 The atmosphere encourages you to slow down without forcing it. The infinity pool becomes the natural centre of the day, with generous space around it and no sense of crowding. When you do head out, Mykonos Town is close, but returning here always feels like stepping back into something more measured and considered. para-5 The Genesis Spa continues that same tone, focusing on treatments that feel restorative rather than performative. A hammam, sauna and fitness area complete the space, giving it enough substance without shifting the balance of the hotel. para-6 Located around 200 metres from Korfos Beach and just over 3 km from Mykonos Town, the setting offers easy access while maintaining a sense of separation. Mykonos Airport is approximately 4 km away.
From £255 per night
One&Only Kéa Island occupies a commanding position above a protected bay on the island’s wilder edge, where a procession of private villas descends towards the Aegean and the scale of the landscape gives the entire resort unusual weight and presence. The architecture does not sit lightly on the site; it is cut into it, using locally sourced stone, Greek marble and broad planes of glass to create structures that feel hewn from the hillside rather than placed upon it. Cycladic references are there, but handled with far more monumentality than nostalgia, with lofty atriums, powerful horizontal lines and terraces that open fully to sea and sky. From one level to the next, the resort holds onto its sense of drama. Views are long, uninterrupted and constant, while the materials keep everything grounded, giving the property a rare combination of exposure and solidity that suits Kea’s more elemental character. para-2 All 63 villas are designed as fully self-contained retreats, each with a private infinity pool, expansive terrace and outdoor areas that give as much importance to life outside as within. Interiors are generous in scale, with fireplaces, large living spaces and wide openings that keep the horizon present throughout the stay. The higher categories take that feeling further. Villas such as the Cliff Villa Panoramic Sea View and the Two-Bedroom Grand Panoramic Villa command broader footprints and even more dramatic positions on the hillside, where privacy, outdoor dining and uninterrupted sea views become part of the architecture rather than an added luxury. para-3 Dining is pitched with the same confidence as the setting. Atria brings together Cycladic and wider Mediterranean influences with a sharper, more polished edge, while Bond Beach Club shifts the mood closer to the water, where the atmosphere is more relaxed but still unmistakably high-end. Bars and lounge spaces extend that rhythm across the day, from long lunches and late afternoon drinks to evenings that unfold against the bay. The emphasis is not on quantity of venues but on strong, distinct settings that make full use of the resort’s position. para-4 The experience is shaped as much by the land and sea as by the resort itself. Time moves between the private beach, the main pool, the villas and the wider island, with snorkelling, hiking, watersports and curated excursions all giving access to Kea beyond the resort’s boundaries. At the same time, the layout allows complete withdrawal from all of it. This is a property that accommodates both movement and stillness with equal conviction, whether the day is spent exploring the coastline or never leaving the terrace. para-5 The One&Only Spa is given the same sense of scale and seriousness as the rest of the resort, with an indoor pool, sauna, treatment rooms and a full wellness programme that goes well beyond the expected island spa offering. It feels immersive rather than decorative, and fully in keeping with the more substantial tone of the property. para-6 Set above Vroskopos Beach, around 15 kilometres from the port of Kéa and approximately 79 kilometres from Athens International Airport, the resort combines genuine seclusion with relatively easy access, giving it a rare position within the Cyclades for those wanting island privacy without a complicated journey.
From £1005 per night
Domes Novos Santorini sits just outside the centre of Oia, offering a rare low rise resort style layout with private pool bungalows and far more space than typical Santorini stays. The property is spread across a wide, open site rather than built into the cliff, with individual bungalows arranged along pathways and gardens that create distance between each unit. Movement through the resort feels easy and horizontal, with clear lines of sight and no tight vertical circulation, which is unusual for this part of the island. Shared spaces are centred around the main pool, dining terrace and spa areas, all positioned with open views across the sea rather than being enclosed by surrounding buildings. The overall layout gives the resort a more relaxed and expansive feel compared to the denser caldera properties in central Oia. para-2 The 50 bungalows and two villas are built around private outdoor space, with each unit including its own pool and terrace that becomes the main living area. Interiors are simple and contemporary, with natural materials and neutral tones keeping the focus on the outside. Options such as the Senses Retreat and Novos Villa provide larger layouts with more defined living areas, while the various bungalow categories maintain the same balance of privacy and outdoor space. Across all types, the emphasis is on individual space rather than shared living. para-3 There is one main restaurant and two bars, with Vatanee serving as the primary dining space, offering Mediterranean dishes with a focus on local produce. The setting is elevated, with views across the island forming part of the experience. The pool bar and lobby bar support the rest of the day, providing drinks and lighter options without separating guests across multiple venues, keeping the social areas concentrated around the main pool and terrace. para-4 The main pool acts as the central hub, with loungers and cabanas arranged around it, while each bungalow’s private pool means guests can choose between shared and private space throughout the day. The resort also includes a kids club and family focused areas, which sets it apart from many Santorini hotels. Activities such as yoga, wellness sessions and wine experiences are available, although the overall pace remains relaxed, with the layout encouraging time within the resort rather than constant movement off site. para-5 Soma Spa includes treatment rooms, sauna and an indoor pool, supported by a gym and wellness spaces for yoga and meditation. The facilities are more developed than most Santorini properties, reflecting the resort style approach. para-6 The hotel is located just outside Oia, around 2.1 kilometres from Katharos Beach, approximately 16 kilometres from Santorini Airport and 22 kilometres from Athinios Port, offering a quieter base while remaining within easy reach of the village.
From £190 per night
Calilo is set on a vast, undeveloped stretch of Ios’ eastern coastline, where a private bay at Papas Beach and miles of protected landscape create a setting that feels deliberately removed from the rest of the island. The scale is immediately apparent — this is not a compact resort, but a property that unfolds across significant distance, with architecture, pathways and installations placed throughout rather than grouped together. Movement through the resort is part of the experience, with routes leading between suites, water features and open viewpoints, often with no direct line of sight between spaces. Design plays a central role, but not in a restrained way. Sculptural elements, reflective surfaces and unexpected visual pieces are positioned across the landscape, giving the property a strong, almost surreal identity that contrasts with the raw simplicity of the surrounding terrain. para-2 Suites are positioned individually or in small clusters, each oriented towards the sea or landscape rather than towards other buildings. Outdoor space dominates, with terraces, pools and private areas often exceeding the interior footprint. Layouts vary considerably — from cave-style suites carved into the hillside to larger multi-bedroom residences set further apart — with no uniform structure, reinforcing the sense that each stay is slightly different from the next. para-3 Dining is intentionally centralised around Papas Restaurant, positioned to overlook the bay. Rather than multiple competing venues, the experience is anchored here, with the setting — shifting light, sea views and distance from everything else — providing the variation. Service extends outward to terraces and the beachfront, but the overall approach remains contained rather than dispersed across the resort. para-4 The beach is a defining feature — wide, quiet and directly integrated into the property without transition or separation. The pool areas sit further back within the landscape, used more as secondary spaces rather than the primary focus. Beyond this, the experience leans heavily on the surrounding terrain, with walking routes, open space and the absence of nearby development shaping how time is spent rather than a structured activity programme. para-5 Wellness is integrated into the wider environment, with treatment areas positioned within the landscape rather than contained within a traditional spa setting. para-6 Located on the eastern coast of Ios at Papas Beach, approximately 19 kilometres from Homer’s Tomb, the resort sits in one of the island’s most remote areas, with its distance from the port and main town forming a key part of its character.
From £315 per night

Set on a peaceful, green hillside just above Megali Ammos, Aegean Suites feels more like a private retreat than a hotel — an adults-only hideaway where space, privacy and sea views come together just minutes from the hum of Skiathos Town. The property is deliberately low-key in its layout, with just 20 suites arranged through mature gardens rather than stacked into a single building. This creates a softer, more residential feel, where pathways, terraces and pockets of greenery replace formality. The design leans into understated Mediterranean elegance — clean lines, natural textures and a light, airy palette — allowing the setting and views to do most of the talking. para-2 The suites are generous in both size and layout, with a noticeable emphasis on comfort and privacy. Each opens onto a private balcony or terrace, many with clear views across the Aegean, while interiors favour calm, neutral tones over anything overly styled. Higher categories introduce separate lounge areas and outdoor jacuzzis, which make a tangible difference to the overall experience, particularly for longer stays where that extra space starts to matter. para-3 Dining is centred around Pelagos Restaurant, where Mediterranean dishes are prepared with a light, contemporary touch and served in a relaxed, open setting. The emphasis is on fresh, seasonal ingredients rather than overworked menus, making it somewhere you’ll happily return to more than once. During the day, the Karavia Pool Bar keeps things informal with light lunches, snacks and drinks delivered straight to your lounger, reinforcing that easy, unstructured rhythm the hotel does so well. para-4 Life here naturally gravitates towards the pool, which sits quietly at the centre of the property, framed by greenery and lined with well-spaced loungers. It never feels crowded, even at busier times, and there’s a steady, unforced flow to the day — swim, read, eat, repeat. When you do want a change of pace, Skiathos Town is close enough for dinner or drinks, while the island’s beaches are easily explored by boat or car. para-5 The wellness offering is intentionally understated but well executed, with a small spa providing treatments alongside a sauna and steam room. There’s also a compact fitness area, although most guests seem far more interested in slowing down than sticking to any kind of routine. para-6 The setting strikes a particularly good balance — elevated enough to feel private, yet just moments from Megali Ammos Beach and around 1.2 km from Skiathos Town. The airport is approximately 3 km away, making arrival and departure refreshingly straightforward.
From £180 per night
Set just moments from Lambi Beach on the edge of Kos Town, Diamond Deluxe Hotel & Spa is an adults-only retreat shaped around water, symmetry and a calm, contemporary sense of space. At its centre, a long lagoon-style pool defines the entire layout, with low-rise buildings arranged in clean, balanced lines that give the resort a strong sense of order. Whitewashed surfaces, natural textures and open walkways create a setting that feels light and composed, while bridges and garden pockets introduce movement and softness throughout. The design is deliberate but never rigid, with water, light and open space working together to shape the atmosphere. It creates a setting that feels quietly structured yet relaxed, where everything flows naturally without feeling overdesigned. para-2 Rooms and suites follow the same architectural rhythm, with interiors kept clean and uncluttered to emphasise space and light. Neutral tones and simple lines allow the focus to remain on the surrounding water and gardens. Swim-up rooms connect directly to the lagoon pool, creating a seamless relationship with the central feature of the resort, while suites with private pools offer a more enclosed, self-contained experience. Each option feels aligned with the overall design, rather than set apart from it. para-3 Emerald Restaurant leads the dining offering, serving breakfast and an à la carte evening menu in a setting that looks out across the water, reinforcing the hotel’s connection to its central design feature. Peruzzi Restaurant brings a more contemporary take on Greek cuisine, adding depth to the culinary experience, while the Marquise Lobby Bar, Radiant Pool Bar and Cushion Beach Bar create a series of distinct but connected spaces for drinks and lighter dining throughout the day and into the evening. para-4 The pace of the hotel is shaped by its layout, with the lagoon pool, private beach area and a series of quieter lounging spaces creating a naturally unhurried rhythm. The setting encourages time to be spent within the resort rather than beyond it. Evenings remain relaxed and understated, with occasional live music and a softer atmosphere that aligns with the overall tone of the property. para-5 The Mazarin Spa adds a more immersive wellness layer, with a hammam, Rasul, sauna and indoor heated pool forming the core of the experience, supported by a full range of treatments. This space mirrors the wider hotel in its sense of calm and structure, offering a more enclosed, restorative environment that complements the openness of the resort. para-6 Located just outside Kos Town, the hotel sits approximately 4 kilometres from the historic centre and around 24 kilometres from Kos International Airport, combining a quieter coastal position with easy access to the island’s main hub.
From £100 per night
Close to Agios Stefanos Beach, Rocabella Mykonos is a small scale five star stay that focuses on space, views and a more personal pace away from the island’s busier core. The hotel is arranged across a stepped hillside with buildings set at slightly different levels, allowing most areas to open out towards the sea rather than facing inward. Pathways connect rooms to the central terrace and pool, creating a simple flow that keeps movement easy without long distances or disconnected zones. This layout gives the property a quieter rhythm, where shared spaces never feel overrun and the focus remains on open views and time spent outdoors. The scale is deliberately limited, so the experience feels more controlled and less reactive to the pace of Mykonos Town. para-2 The 26 rooms and suites are designed around outdoor living, with terraces forming a key part of the layout and giving each space a clear connection to the setting. Interiors stay consistent in tone, keeping the focus on light, space and simplicity rather than variation between categories. Suites with private plunge pools shift the experience further towards privacy, allowing guests to spend more time within their own space rather than around the main pool. The villa option extends this further for groups wanting a more self contained stay. para-3 Dining is centred around one main restaurant and one bar. Reeza Restaurant leads the main offering with Mediterranean cooking, set around the terrace with views across the sea. The pool bar supports this throughout the day with drinks and lighter dishes, keeping everything within a single, easy to use setup rather than spreading it across multiple venues. para-4 The pool terrace acts as the main shared space, positioned to take in the open views and arranged with enough spacing to keep it relaxed throughout the day. It works as the natural base for the hotel, with most guests alternating between here and their private terraces. Agios Stefanos Beach is within a short walk, making it easy to step out for a change of pace without needing transport, while Mykonos Town remains close enough for evenings out. para-5 The spa includes treatment rooms, sauna and a gym, giving the hotel a full indoor option alongside the outdoor spaces. This adds a practical layer to the stay, particularly for longer visits where having both indoor and outdoor facilities becomes more important. para-6 Located around 300 metres from Agios Stefanos Beach, approximately 5 kilometres from Mykonos Airport and around a 10 minute drive from Mykonos Town, the setting works well for guests who want easy access without staying in the centre.
From £130 per night
Set above Mylopotas Beach, Hideout Suites is a tightly composed collection of just 12 private suites, positioned across the hillside with uninterrupted views over the Aegean. The layout is deliberately minimal — no central hotel core, no excess movement — just a series of self-contained spaces placed to maximise outlook and privacy. The elevation does the work, creating distance from the beach below while keeping it firmly within reach. Architecture follows clean Cycladic lines but is handled with restraint, avoiding decorative excess in favour of proportion, light and openness. Terraces extend directly from the interiors, with the horizon acting as a constant focal point rather than an afterthought. para-2 Suites are designed around outdoor living, with private pools and shaded lounge areas forming the centre of each space. Interiors remain secondary — calm, functional and intentionally understated. Higher categories such as the Honeymoon Suite Private Pool Sea View and Grand Suite Private Pool Sea View introduce more generous footprints, while select suites include kitchens, reinforcing the self-sufficient, villa-style feel. para-3 Dining is intentionally low-key, centred around a poolside bar serving drinks and light dishes throughout the day. Rather than multiple venues, the emphasis is on flexibility — in-suite dining, grocery delivery and private meals on the terrace define the experience more than a formal restaurant setting. para-4 The rhythm here is entirely self-directed, with time split between private terraces, the pool and the beach below. There’s little in the way of structured activity, with the focus instead on space, quiet and the option to move into Ios when needed. para-5 Wellness is similarly understated, with treatments arranged on request rather than built around a dedicated spa environment. para-6 Located 400 metres above Mylopotas Beach and around 10 minutes from Ios Chora, the setting balances proximity with separation, allowing easy access to the island while maintaining a distinctly quieter base.
From £205 per night
Set just above Kommeno Bay, Cook’s Club Corfu is shaped around its central pool scene, where the energy of the hotel naturally gathers and carries through from day into night. The design is deliberately open and connected, with low-rise buildings arranged around the main pool to keep everything within easy reach. Rather than separating spaces, the layout encourages movement, with terraces, loungers and shaded areas flowing into one another to create a continuous social environment. The aesthetic leans contemporary and informal, with natural textures, muted tones and a slightly bohemian edge, but it is the way the spaces are used — fluid, sociable and unstructured — that defines the atmosphere more than the design itself. para-2 The rooms are designed as a practical counterpoint to the livelier public areas, offering a clean, modern base that prioritises comfort and ease. Layouts are straightforward, with balconies extending the space outdoors, while the overall feel remains simple and functional. They work best as a place to reset between time spent around the pool or out exploring, rather than somewhere that draws you to stay in. para-3 Dining follows the same relaxed, social approach, centred around Cantina with its street food concept designed for sharing. Campiello introduces a more traditional Corfiot influence in the evenings, while Captain Cook’s keeps things light and informal by the pool. The Feel Free concept ties everything together, allowing for a more flexible rhythm across the day, with food and drinks integrated into the overall experience rather than structured around fixed sittings. para-4 The pool is the focal point throughout the day, with DJs setting the tone and creating a consistent sense of energy without it tipping into something overwhelming. There are quieter corners to step away to, but the overall draw is the social atmosphere, supported by fitness sessions, yoga and a light programme of activities that add variety without shifting the focus. para-5 The spa and wellness facilities offer a more subdued counterbalance, with treatments, sauna and fitness areas providing space to slow things down. It sits alongside the main experience rather than defining it, giving the option to step out of the pace when needed. para-6 Located within walking distance of Gouvia Beach and the village, and around 9 km from Corfu International Airport, the hotel is well placed for both exploring the island and staying connected to the local scene.
From £85 per night
Set along the Blue Flag shoreline of Marmari, Caravia Beach – Adults Only Junior Suites offers a more refined, adults-focused enclave within a wider beachfront estate, where contemporary townhouse-style design and a calmer, landscaped setting create a distinctly more private stay. Arranged across low-rise buildings within expansive Mediterranean gardens, the adults-only section is shaped around a lagoon-style pool, with palm-lined pathways, water features and open sightlines drawing the eye towards the sea. The architecture remains clean and modern, softened by planting and space, giving the setting a composed, residential feel that sits comfortably apart from the wider resort. This sense of separation is carefully balanced rather than absolute, allowing the space to feel quieter and more considered while still benefiting from the scale and beachfront position beyond it. The result is an environment that feels both self-contained and open, with a natural rhythm shaped by light, water and greenery. para-2 The Junior Suites are arranged across ground and first floor levels, with interiors designed around simplicity, light and an easy connection to the outdoors. Clean lines and a restrained palette keep the focus on space and setting, rather than decoration. Ground floor suites open directly onto the lagoon-style pool, creating an immediate, immersive connection to the water, while first floor suites introduce a more elevated perspective across the gardens and terraces. Each option offers a different relationship with the surroundings, while maintaining a consistent sense of calm and cohesion. para-3 Máina Gastro Restaurant anchors the dining experience within the adults-only area, where Mediterranean dishes are served à la carte in a setting that looks out across the water. The atmosphere is relaxed but assured, shaped as much by its position as by the menu itself. The lounge bar continues this tone, offering cocktails and lighter dishes throughout the day in spaces that naturally extend outdoors. Beyond this, the wider resort provides additional restaurants and bars, expanding the overall choice while the adults-only areas retain their more measured pace. para-4 The lagoon-style pool and the long stretch of sandy beach define the flow of the day, with space, light and proximity to the sea shaping a slower, more relaxed rhythm. The setting lends itself to time spent outdoors, whether by the water or within the gardens. At the same time, the broader resort environment remains easily accessible, allowing for a shift in energy when desired. This flexibility gives the stay a natural balance between quiet retreat and a more social atmosphere. para-5 The Anassa Spa Wellness Center provides a more tranquil counterpoint, with treatment rooms, sauna, steam facilities and an indoor pool set within a quieter, enclosed space designed for restoration. It adds depth to the overall experience, complementing the open, beachfront setting with a more focused wellness offering that aligns with the calmer tone of the adults-only environment. para-6 Located in Marmari on Kos’ north coast, the resort sits approximately 15 minutes from Kos Town and around 12 kilometres from Kos International Airport, combining a wide beachfront setting with straightforward access to the island’s main hub.
From £120 per night
