Kresten Palace Hotel, Rhodes, Greek Islands Heavenly Rhodes hotel near the beach

• Sunsoaked days and sea views: Chic and luxurious, Kresten Palace Hotel is the place to find your own little slice of Greek island heaven. This swish Rhodes pad boasts a fabulous location, an impressive swimming pool and its own private section on the sands of Kavourakia Beach; your biggest decision each day will be whether to head out and explore, find a sunny spot near the waves, or pitch up next to the vast pool, surrounded by towering palm trees.

• Delicious food: A tasty, traditional Greek breakfast is the best way to start the day, with hot and cold options on offer in the elegant main restaurant. Return later for Mediterranean and international favourites alike, as well as fresh local specialties full of flavour. Throughout the day, stay refreshed with ice cream and cold drinks from the pool bar, and as evening falls, head to the atmospheric lounge bar; offering stunning sea views, this is the spot to watch a fiery sun sink beneath the waves as you sip on an expertly-crafted cocktail.

• Fabulous fun and games: If you can be pried from your lounger, take a break from sunbathing to make use of the hotel’s fabulous facilities. Treat yourself to a soul-soothing massage or treatment in the spa (fees apply), or if you prefer to keep active, head to the sports courts for a beach volleyball match, game of tennis or round of mini golf. Explore the island - the impressive ruins of the ancient city of Rhodes are just a 15-minute drive away - and return for a ping pong contest in the games room before retiring to your stylish room.
