Focused around a lavish swimming pool and spa centre, this was the first luxe hotel on the island and in many ways is still among the most unique, if just ever-so-slightly tired. It surveys the Aegean from a rural spot, 600m from Meloi Beach and 3km north of Skala. Enjoy palace-sized rooms with stylish antiques, spotless bathrooms, private balconies and antique beds plus, above all, stunning sea views. Check for amazing low-season rates.
