Luxury Greece holidays

Best luxury destinations in Greece

Some claim that the whole of Greece, with its stunning coastline, wild interiors and ancient history at every turn, is a luxury destination. It's a strong argument, but we've selected a few places that we think stand out from the crowd. Choose a luxury hotel in Santorini, on the edge of the caldera, and you'll relax on the remains of the largest volcanic eruption ever recorded, watching breathtaking sunsets from your private pool or Jacuzzi. Head to Mykonos to experience beach parties and clubs that never close. This famous destination has so many five-star hotels and more that you'll be spoilt for choice. Elounda in Crete offers top-of-the-range suites and villas floating on the water. Boasting a host of high-end restaurants, it has recently become the destination of choice for VIPs, heads of state and music and entertainment stars.

Best beaches in Greece

Greece is a beach lover’s paradise with picturesque landscapes, golden sand, turquoise waters and amenities. Whether you want long stretches of sand perfect for sunbathing or secluded coves that provide gobsmacking diving and snorkelling experiences, beaches in Greece cater for it all. 

The competition sets the bar high in Crete, but Balos Beach remains the cream of the crop. Balos’ shallow collection of lagoons is fringed by pink-toned sands, sandwiched between the dramatic Gramvoussa mountain. Expect mint-blue crystal-clear waters, overlooked by a Venetian castle.

Living up to its name, Paradise Beach in Mykonos is one of the most famed, coastal stretches in Greece boasting powder-soft sands, thatched-roof umbrellas, beach bars, dance bars, watersports facilities and enticing restaurants. No place better than brunch at Noia Mykonos or Guapaloca Mykonos. Paradise Beach Club Mykonos is a magnet for youth and the young ones at heart: each night the venue hosts themed events and live performances such as fire dancers and DJ sets.

Our alternative gems include the rocky coves of Anthony Quinn Bay in Rhodes, the marshmallow sands of Elafonissi Beach in Crete, Lalaria Beach in Skiathos, and Rovinnia Beach in Corfu.
