Address: Vassilikos, Zante, Greek Islands
This dazzling-white hotel stands in stunning contrast to its lush green gardens and the brilliant blue of the sea it overlooks. Sleek and contemporary but with an ambience as warm as the Cypriot sun – this is the perfect spot to enjoy a chic, beachside holiday. They certainly lay on the luxury here, from the inside out. Lets start with the lobby, a definite wow-factor showpiece. Cool marble floors set the tone here, with palm pots, glass tables and cream high-backed chairs where you can sit with a drink in the filtered sunlight. Walk through, and youll come across the Imperials two elegant eateries. From a relaxing, bright and breezy one with plush wicker chairs to an atmospheric one with crisp white tablecloths – theres something to suit every taste – and taste bud come to that. Youll also come across the relaxing piano and cocktail bars – one of which spills out onto an al fresco terrace. Step outside and youll be greeted by gorgeous views of the ancient port and famous castle of Pafos. The first thing youll probably notice though, are the lush landscaped gardens that encircle the hotel. Take a stroll through them until you reach the eye-catching pool, flanked by swaying palms and white parasols. You can spend many a peaceful day here lapping up the sun, or you can flit between here and the beach. Now this really is the icing on the cake. Pale golden sands gently slope into turquoise waters – but the real piece de resistance is that its all exclusively yours. And, its been granted a Blue Flag award, to boot. Could it get any better? Well, yes. Because activities are pouring out of this place. You can hire a bike, go for the burn at the health club, or practise your putting on the golf green. The list goes on. So for a bit of everything with a lot of style – the Louis Imperial Beach has it all. |
