This immaculate retreat has become something of a local landmark, carved, as it is, out of a hillside rock on secluded Vathi beach. Rooms, suites and villas boast a chic, minimalist aesthetic as well as floor-to-ceiling windows for postcard-perfect views of the glittering azure waters ahead. Gourmands will delight in the hotel’s trio of eateries, including the fine-dining Ocean Restaurant and more casual a la carte Greek eatery, Taverna. Sybarites, meanwhile, need venture no further than the resort’s own spa, which aside from an generous spa menu, also features a Finnish sauna and Technogym-appointed fitness centre.
