Five-star hotels in Greece: the home of luxury, serenity and beyond

The Greek island of Kos has a little gem in store for you. When staying at the Aqua Blu Boutique Hotel & Spa, you can already look forward to bike tours, hikes or a day at the beach when you wake up in the morning. Located directly on Lambi Beach, this five-star hotel in Greece is only a short trip from the historic alleys, taverns and shops of the city of Kos.

Most of the suites have their own pool (yes, it always comes back to it!) so that you can not only sit together on the balcony in the evening but also make a splash whenever you feel like it. It goes without saying that there is also a spa, where you can let yourself be pampered to your heart’s content.

Before you check in to the five-star Nissaki Boutique Hotel on the island of Mykonos, you’ll need to decide: would you like to stay in one of the comfortable guestrooms, in a luxurious suite or in one of the extravagant villas? I know – the choice isn’t easy.

Because even if you have to spend a little more on the suites and villas, the terrace with sea view, the private jacuzzi and extra features like your own steam bath are definitely worth it. No matter what you decide though, you can always look forward to the delicacies at Phos Restaurant with views of the bay.

This luxury boutique hotel in Crete is a very special gem among the five-star hotels in Greece.  Amidst the historical alleys of Chania, you will walk through the rooms and courtyards of the Serenissima Boutique Hotel and enjoy a classy, picturesque city trip.

Noteworthy are not only the guestrooms and in particular the individual rooms, but also the delicious food that is served here. The hotel restaurant with its excellent cuisine is also considered a real insider tip by locals. The best Greek wines from the hotel’s own wine cellar are served with the meals.

Natural stone walls, wind chimes and billowing lengths of fabric around shady terraces with comfortable sofas and, above all, the sound of the nearby Mediterranean Sea. The small holiday paradise of St. Nicolas Bay Resort has plenty of charm and will provide for absolutely magical moments on your trip.

You think that’s still not enough for you to relax? Then you should definitely book a treatment at the Poseidon Spa. The Orient Ritual with Hamam and aromatic oil massage – or one of the other around 50 treatments on offer – will definitely take your mind off things.

“Be extravagant, be alive, be yourself,… be Bohème!” This luxury hotel in Mykonos is located in the western part of the island and was built in the style of Cycladic architecture typical of the Greek islands: white walls and stone steps, the historical flair of the island combined with the best possible service and a host of modern amenities.

In the 20 luxury suites, you will find wooden elements such as ceiling beams, tables and shelves that look as though they were made of driftwood, and also modern designer pieces such as metal basket chairs and filigree wicker lamps.  An amazing feature is the wooden shutters, which you open in the morning to look out over the sparkling sea as you look forward to your first coffee of the day… that’s how every day should begin on a holiday!

Think you know Crete? You simply have not experienced Crete until you’ve sat at the edge of the deep blue infinity pool at the Blue Palace, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa and taken in the mesmerising views over the even bluer Mediterranean. Once you’ve cooled down with a dip into the pool, enjoy your afternoon tea at the Arsenali Lounge Bar while listening to the delightful live piano music. And that’s not all…

Crete’s soul is reflected in the rooms of this luxury hotel because they shine with the typical local design and natural materials of the island. The showpieces are clearly the villas, where guests can splash in their own pool, have their private massage area and enjoy new culinary delicacies prepared personally by the head chef every day.

Rhodes is also an absolute must for lovers of luxury holidays in Greece: The five-star hotel Casa Cook Rhodes is almost too cool to be true and the hipster among the Greek luxury hotels. It offers guestrooms and suites that will knock the socks (or in this case, flip-flops) off even the most discerning fans of contemporary design and trendy styles.

Especially beautiful are the little terraces with wicker chairs, cushions, hammocks and everything else you need for a relaxed day. The bohemian style continues outside the rooms and creates a unique holiday atmosphere. Here, luxury above all means one thing: simplicity and focus on the essential.

Is a blue and white dream come true what you have in mind for your luxury holiday in Greece? Then your search ends here because the Katikies Santorini offers everything you could possibly wish for: white sandstone, the deep blue Mediterranean right in front of you and the breathtaking landscape of Santorini on your doorstep.

In your room, you will sink into white down quilts that will wrap themselves around you as gently as the charm of the beautiful city of Oia. Even the standard double rooms have a spacious veranda with comfortable seating and a sunshade, and for even more luxury and space you can simply book one of the suites, where you’ll get to enjoy special touches like your very own jacuzzi.

Also in Oia on Santorini and just as dizzyingly luxurious are the Andronis Luxury Suites. The five-star establishment strives to turn your holiday moments into “ever-lasting memories”, so be prepared for an unforgettable stay.

The hotel is laid out like a small district of Oia: there are winding paths between white walls and countless small plateaus, from which you can look over the surroundings. All suites have their own pool or jacuzzi and will enchant you with their decadent Greek-style furnishings.

The Charisma Suites on the Greek islands really live up to their name, because they really do have a very special charm that will captivate you as well. Here you can enjoy one of the best views on the whole island of Santorini, because you have unobstructed views of the famous sunset over Oia and can watch it in peace and quiet.

Holidaying here is almost like finding yourself in a picture book. Everywhere you look you’ll see unique beauty and picturesque scenes – and just wait for the unbeatable luxurious suites! They are almost entirely white, with details in wood and cork as well as splashes of colour in the form of colourful cushions, plants and fruit.
