Where ‘lavish’ accounts for the hotel’s luxuriousness and its location, Katikies Garden is a blissful boutique bolthole. Just 40 plush rooms and suites intermingle, and you’ll have a choice of private pools and sea or garden views. After unpacking, your first port of call should be the outdoor pool set upon a relaxing deck. Later, navigate your way through the on-site fashion boutique to the supremely vitalising spa and wellness centre. With fabulous Fira right on the doorstep, exploring is a must from here, then let your evenings unravel into tasting sumptuous menus of local fare. Chase candlelit fine dining up with glasses of excellent drops via the wine cave.
