A LUXURIOUS RETREAT
Treat yourself to a timeless Santorini experience at Katikies Garden, a luxurious retreat inspired by the natural beauty and historic charm of its Mediterranean surroundings.
Built on the grounds of a former monastery, Katikies Garden has kept much of its traditional design features intact, from the elegant archways to the pretty pebbled flooring.
The property’s preserved Venetian architecture is complemented by lush greenery, fragrant flowers and a sophisticated design. Suites are fashionably appointed with modern hanging lamps, grand alcoves and elegant flower trellises. Some come their own terraces, gardens and swimming pools.
The De Paul Restaurant, where guests are treated to delicious and beautifully presented Mediterranean dishes in the tranquil central courtyard, is a highlight. There’s also the opportunity for wine tastings in the hotel’s underground wine cellar, and relaxing massages and bespoke treatments at the A. Spa. Great views of the Aegean Sea can be enjoyed from the rooftop pool, framed by sun decks and beautiful blue skies.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
