Blessed with a rich history, stunning weather, surreal landscapes and sumptuous cuisine, Greece is bound to make an appearance in anyone’s daydreams. (I know it does in mine!)
To really bring your Grecian dreams to life, imagine your next getaway at a luxurious seaside resort, elevated with my exclusive VIP perks. Catch the early flight and take advantage of complimentary early check-in, delighting in your personalized in-room welcome gift. Head straight to the pool for lunch with a bright summer cocktail, paid for with your resort credit. Wake up to a colorful (and complimentary) room service breakfast with the impossibly perfect view from your upgraded accommodations. And when it's time to leave, think again. With late check-out, you can linger carefree into the afternoon.
Starting May 14th, Greece is welcoming travelers who can confirm their vaccination, antibody, or negative COVID-19 status. To give you a head start on your vacation plans before availability starts to run out, I've gathered some of my favorite resorts across the country (no easy task) to inspire you to consider a summer escape. If you're dreaming of a Mediterranean holiday, please don't wait to reach out to begin planning!
Santa Marina, A Luxury Collection Resort
To experience the mesmerizing magic of Mykonos, one must choose their hotel wisely—perhaps one where you can savour the glamorous Greek lifestyle on the island’s only private sandy beach. In the most fashionable and sophisticated setting, the Aegean interpretation of the world-famous Buddha-Bar lifestyle experience is combined with Mykonos Social, Jason Atherton’s first restaurant in the Mediterranean. Whether you cozy up in an intimate guest room or share an expansive villa, your beach-chic interiors feature modern, natural luxury, opening to balconies with hypnotic Aegean views.
Private perks: $100 resort credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, complimentary upgrade, and more.
Parilio, A Member of Design Hotels
Paros is a place where unspoiled natural beauty and the slowed rhythms of Cycladic life prevail. I recommend a stay at Parilio, where you'll be conveniently located on the island’s northeastern coast, between stunning Kolympithres beach and the jewel town of Naoussa, gazing at Naoussa Bay. By the way, the name Parilio is derived from ‘Paros’ and the Greek word for the sun ‘Ilios’, fitting for this 33-suite retreat characterized by amber-hued fields, araucaria trees, and of course, the sparkling blue waters of the Aegean Sea. The minimalistic pool, with impressive rock formations, embodies the hotel’s reverence for natural stone and geometric forms. Your poolside experience will be filled with refreshing and creative cocktails whether you unwind by day or night.
Private perks: $100 dining credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, complimentary upgrade, and more.
Grace Hotel, Auberge Resorts Collection
If it's ultimate romance, indulgence and isolation you're after, you'll find it 300 meters above Santorini's Caldera, a sheltered deep basin formed by a sunken volcano centuries ago. From its setting on the Imerovigli hillside, Grace Santorini offers unparalleled views of famed Aegean sunsets over the Cyclades. In an already awe-inspiring setting, guests are invited to scenic evenings with live music, hosted regularly at the resort's Santoro restaurant and iconic Champagne Lounge, nestled 363 meters above sea level. You'll never forget this gastronomic journey of tastes and sounds under the stars.
Private perks: Welcome bottle of wine and local delicacies, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, and more.
