  • Get away from it all: For a five-star stay quite unlike anywhere else on the Greek island of Crete, pack your bags for Avra Imperial Hotel. Located in Kolymvari on the Gulf of Chania, it promises jaw-dropping vistas, exceptional design and all-round excellence, all steeped in authenticity and charm. Slow your pace right down and indulge as you make the most of the hotel's multiple swimming pools, tennis courts, wine cellar, impressive five restaurants and bars, and much more.

  • Heavenly wellness: Relaxation-seekers will find themselves right at home at the Apivita Spa, where the marble-clad and contemporary facilities exude grandeur and sophistication. Bubble away in the Jacuzzi or swim some lengths in the heated pool, explore the sizeable Water and Temperature Zones complete with experience showers, steam room and sauna, and finish off in style by treating yourself to a massage or Vichy shower.

  • Unwind in style: Beautifully sleek and minimalist, the guest rooms at this hotel have everything you could need to enjoy an elegant and luxurious escape. In every room you can expect to find a fully furnished balcony or terrace, relaxing views, a cosy Simmons mattress topped with luxe linens, and a marble en-suite bathroom with premium bathroom amenities.
