White Pebble Suites

The hotel was built in 1874 and is full of old-world charm. Each of its 320 rooms and suites are beautifully styled, with antique furnishings, chandeliers and traditional tiled floors. With such spectacular views, you’ll want to head up to the rooftop pool and bar. Seeing the Acropolis illuminated at night is a truly spectacular sight so make sure you try one of their signature cocktails and enjoy the sparkling lights of the city. There’s also plenty to draw you inside, including the bright and airy Winter Garden Lounge, an extension of the hotel’s beautiful lobby. The cellar is filled with over 3,000 bottles of wine and it’s well worth enjoying a drink at Alexander’s Bar which features an original 19th-centuty tapestry depicting Alexander the Great entering Gaugamela. For when you need to relax and unwind, make a beeline for the spa and fitness centre, complete with indoor pool.

Set in the charming, whitewashed village of Naouss on the island of Paros, with the clear blue Aegean sea all around, is the Cosme resort; is a little slice of paradise. The design and decor here is quintessentially Greek with a sophisticated and a nostalgic feel to some of the furnishing. White washed walls reflect the powerful sun and a combination of clean, straight and inviting, curved walls and staircases feature both internally and externally. Calm and tranquil grounds lead you to the restaurants, bar and wellness area. Volta Restaurant serves delicious breakfasts every day. Parostià Restaurant sits in an enviable location overlooking the beach and shimmering sea offering lunch and dinner everyday serving generous portions of delightful greek food, including fresh fish. There’s a cooling outdoor swimming pool with inviting sun loungers for guests to relax on. The hotel also boasts its own beach club where you can enjoy days in the sunshine with your feet in the sand on the hotel’s own comfortable loungers with parasols for shade. The resort’s location means you can easily visit the picturesque little town of Naouss where you can enjoy shopping, restaurants, bars and winding cobblestone streets of this typical Greek island town. This beautiful resort offers 40 suites over 6 room and suite categories, all are very well appointed and many come with outside terrace areas and beautiful views. All the rooms have a one-of-a-kind feeling to the decor with art work, carefully selected wooden furniture and an array of pared back, yet comfortable soft furnishings. Neutral tones are used throughout; this is a wonderful place to feel calm and relaxed.

Perched above the picturesque fishing town of Ammoudi, created lovingly with a combination of natural and earthy materials, the Canaves Oia Epitome offers a new kind of luxury. The resort’s 49 luxury suites and villas have both sea and sunset views from the privacy of their secluded terraces – the only property on the island that can offer this range of vistas. Along with these epic views comes a property that’s bathed in natural light. The clever design manages to blur the line between traditional and modern, structure and space, opulence and simplicity. The private outdoor areas that come with each room allow guests to enjoy the sunshine, twinkling stars and cooling breezes without having to leave the comfort of their own room and, with attentive room service, staying in doesn’t mean missing out on the delicious food served here. The two restaurants at the resort are of course worth visiting though – each offering dishes that combine international dishes, greek flavours and fresh local ingredients, particularly fish. As well as nourishing food there’s a spa and wellness area dedicated to your wellbeing so make sure you leave here feeling completely refreshed and relaxed.
