"With dazzling guestrooms, marvellous cuisine and postcard-worthy coastline views, Abaton Island Resort & Spa checks all the boxes for an unforgettable stay in Crete."

A luxurious bolthole on the north coast of Crete, Abaton Island Resort & Spa is a vision in white from the outside in. Something of a minimalist daydream, this luxurious resort promises no-holds-barred indulgence and spellbinding views of the sea.

Guest rooms are – in a word – stunning. There are 14 different types of accommodations to choose from but all share the same gleaming white aesthetic that characterises the hotel. Although the palette is monotone, rooms are anything but boring: expect dazzling touches like hand-carved headboards and sculptures made out of driftwood. Rooms are supremely comfortable and all have private outdoor spaces. Beware, though: most have views of the sparkling sea but there are some that do not – be sure to check in advance. To take your stay to the next level, book one of the 71 rooms that come with private seawater pools; the Island Seafront Honeymoon Suite comes with an outdoor jacuzzi as well.

If you don't have a private pool to lounge beside, make your way down to the picturesque coastline to claim one of the supremely comfortable loungers. Or unwind poolside at the picture-perfect infinity pool – this one's unheated but if you prefer a warmer swim, there’s a heated pool in the spa.

Speaking of the spa pool - it's dazzling. Purple lights imbue the sleek, contemporary space with a club-like vibe. The overall effect all but guarantees that you'll have never swum laps in a pool quite like this before. Beyond, a state-of-the-art fitness centre has everything active guests need to get in a good workout, while the Elemis spa offers a tempting range of indulgent treatments.

Abaton has six restaurants and bars to choose from, with excellent variety. Mouthwatering cuts of meat are served at WOW Steakhouse which – much to our pleasure – lives up to its name. For a supremely fresh seafood meal, you'll want to head to Bony Fish restaurant which boasts breathtaking views of the sea. F-Zin Ivy League Restaurant serves up international fare in a sleek and stylish dining room while Elemes feels intimate and cosy with its tantalising Cretan cuisine. When it comes time for a drink (or two) head to the resort’s outpost of the legendary Buddha-Bar Beach for sun, sand and some fabulous DJ tunes. Or head to the Ladies & Gentlemen lobby bar which is slick, contemporary and – most importantly – has more of those incredible views.
