Hi all,
Looking for somewhere to go this bank holiday weekend (we like leaving things late in part to be sure of the weather!)
It looks like the Greek islands are a safe bet, and we’re looking for somewhere similar to the Four Seasons Athens (bit pricey and food was sadly overly salty hospital food) or JW Marriott Crete (not yet open) – a resort with genuinely good food, pools and a large estate to explore. Fly and flop, but not an Iberostar style. We’ve considered Ikos but the 5 night minimum is putting us off – and we don’t have kids!
Any ideas welcome 🙂
My parents are off to the Dreams Resort in Corfu which is part of Hyatt on Saturday
Looks very similar to Ikos in terms of the a la carte options , spirit options etc
Unsure if they have a minimumHyatt’s 7Pines Ibiza and Sardinia resorts keep being mentioned here as great redemptions and may meet your criteria. Not sure what the weather is looking like in those areas of the Med…
Six Senses Douro Valley would be my choice, if and when I win the lottery – and as long as they’ve turned the power back on! I’m sure it was reviewed on here a couple of years ago. I think you can book it through Emyr as well, though you might have to go via the Virtuoso website if he’s off for the weekend.
Weather is gorgeous in Italy at the moment. Kempinski Sam Clemente Palace is on a private island near Venice – with a short flight and direct water taxi from the airport, you’ll be in the hotel by mid morning if you take an early flight. And you have all of Venice available to you if you get bored with the resort.
Oku Kos would fit the bill – Greek Islands and adults only
White Lotus Taormina.
🤣
5 nights at Ikos is also 4 nights and a late check-out.

Alternatively, @Rob likes the JW Marriott Venice resort & spa https://www.headforpoints.com/2023/08/27/review-jw-marriott-resort-spa-venice/
Mandarin Oriental or W Costa Navarino.
Mangia’s Brucoli on Sicily was very nice even though I’m not a resort fan.
