Lindos Blu HotelLindos, Rhodes

For a peaceful getaway with plenty of panache, Lindos Blu is spot on.'
Lindos Blu deserves an Oscar for best location. Sculpted into the hillside above Vlicha Bay, it’s just a couple of kilometres from the cobbled streets of Lindos village. There’s a golden sandy beach below the hotel, which can be reached by two lifts or a series of steps. And as the whole place curves around the cliff like an amphitheatre, every inch of the hotel offers up grandstand views of the bay below.

Even the pools have grabbed a front-row seat. These two infinity-style numbers melt into the horizon and are framed by smart wooden sun loungers and vast canvas parasols. And if you really want to raise the bar on relaxation there’s a state-of-the-art spa where muscle-melting massages are the order of the day.

As far as looks go, this place is totally at one with its surroundings. The architects used lots of stone, wood and glass to create a hotel that blends into its rocky backdrop. Inside it’s got a Zen-like design, with wall-to-wall white, potted orchids and plenty of natural light.

Room-wise, it’s boutique chic all the way. They’re dressed in either burnt orange and coffee or apple-green and blueberry, and come with hi-tech luxuries like flatscreen satellite TVs. Whirlpool baths add a touch of glamour.

On the food front, there’s more of the same effortless elegance. White linen and those widescreen bay views are used to great effect in Smeraldo, where à la carte buffet breakfasts and lunches are served. Five Senses, meanwhile, works the outdoors indoors look with teak banquettes, white voile drapes and mood lighting – it’s the perfect setting for gourmet dinners.
