Here on the majestic coast of Elounda, with sweeping views over the aquamarine Aegean Sea, your days can be spent lazing on the private, white pebble beach or gazing over the edge of infinity pools. You might find yourself on a sunset cruise around the historic island of Spinalonga, wine tasting in the gardens or enjoying a traditional Cretan meal on a secluded shore. For a deeper unwind, visit the gorgeous spa where you can choose from a menu of reinvigorating massages and customised facials.

Dotted around the landscaped grounds, the bungalows and suites are spacious and individually decorated, combining classic Greek motifs with modern exuberance. Most have their own pools and verandas that offer you the most gorgeous vistas. For families or larger groups, book into the hotel’s stunning private villa which comes complete with three bedrooms, expansive gardens and a beautiful private heated pool.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”
The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”
Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough
