With views of the impossibly blue Aegean Sea, a shimmering pool, hot tub and a sun-trap terrace for all-day dining, this laidback villa is the ideal gathering place for friends and families.

Begin mornings with a cup of coffee on your bedroom’s private balcony before knocking up a tasty breakfast in the vibrant kitchen – the pops of cherry red will certainly put a spring in your step. Slip outside to while away the hours with a good book on a comfy lounger. And when you’re ready to turn the relaxation up a notch, you’ve access to the resort’s spa and indoor saltwater pool.

At lunchtime, come together for a sizzling barbecue feast, or head into Chaniotis to sample local cuisine in traditional tavernas. Stroll along the Blue Flag sands of Hanioti Beach and find a quiet spot to watch the waves gently lap the shore.
