The Island Hotel

The Island Hotel

Gouves, Heraklion Area, Crete, Greece

Star Rating: ****

Part of our Platinum range, The Island Hotel scores a double coup – a beachside setting and design-led interiors.

This beachfront hotel has a pared-back exterior of whitewashed walls and mosaic-stone pillars. But the style’s ramped right up inside. Think contemporary furniture, polished wood floors and spot-lit ceilings.

The dining scene is made up of a buffet restaurant, a Mediterranean place, a taverna and a laidback eatery by the pool. You’ve got a good tally of activities in the day, and there’s easygoing entertainment come sundown.
