Tamarix Del Mar Suites  

The Tamarix del Mar is a special yet typically Greek retreat. Think whitewashed cubed buildings, bright-blue shutters and pots spilling over with colourful flowers. On closer inspection you'll see this hotel combines its traditional Cycladic side with contemporary style. For example, the lobby features authentic architecture with beautiful arched ceilings and doorways. But the decor is as a modern as they come with chic blue sofas and stylish wood furnishings. And the fresh white walls lend a both minimalist and traditional edge.

It's the bedrooms that steal the show, though. They've really got the bolthole factor. Spacious, bright and airy, the crisp white walls and tiled floors certainly remind you you're in Santorini. But everything else is very 21st century, from the mood lighting to the trendy furnishings. Each is uniquely designed, too, though they all come with satellite TV, wifi connection, a minibar and either a balcony or terrace. The standard rooms have got more than enough to make you want to hole up for a week or two. But if you're celebrating something special, upgrade to a suite with its own romantic whirlpool bath on the terrace or rooftop.

The pool area is just as much of a sanctuary. The freestyle pool has a whirlpool bath attached to it and is bordered by parasols and sunbeds. There's also a poolside bar serving cocktails and snacks. And even more chilled out is the spa. Not only does it boast pampering treatments, a sauna and a Jacuzzi(Tm), there's also an inviting pool surrounded by tea light-effect lights. Factor in a small gym, an a la carte restaurant and the fact the hotel is footsteps from the beach and you've got a holiday haven you won't want to leave.
