The Island Hotel
Gouves, Crete.
Part of our Thomson Couples range, this adults-only hotel scores a double coup - a beachside setting and design-led interiors.
From the outside, this low-level, whitewashed hotel has a pared-back stone appearance. Step inside, though, and it’s a different story altogether. Polished wooden floors and spot-lit ceilings provide the backdrop for a stylish mix of chairs and chaise lounges.
The bedrooms, meanwhile, are all about comfort. Think silk cushions and velvet armchairs set against a palette of cream. Mood lighting adds another contemporary touch, while sparkling chrome fittings are the mainstay in the bathroom. Finishing touches include plasma TVs and mini-fridges. Plus, you can opt for a suite with a private pool if you want to splash out.
When it comes to meals, you’ve got plenty of choice. The Stone is the place to head for all-day dining. And if you’d rather stay on your lounger, the staff will bring your order to you. Then you’ve got The Kitchen, where show-cooking tops the bill. And make sure you sample a cocktail at Tholos. Tables for two spill out onto the terrace, and there’s chilled-out live music at the bar.
Lastly, the pools here are another talking point. The main one is a curvy number framed by a terrace. As well as oversized loungers and shady parasols, you’ll find luxurious daybeds lining the water’s edge. There’s another pool in the bathhouse, as well as a hydrotherapy pool and a sauna.
