The Grand Residence Villa, Zakynthos

Description

Imagine waking each morning in your own beachfront paradise, with panoramic views of the Ionian Sea, a private part of the beach just for you and all the amenities of a five-star hotel right on your doorstep. This luxury villa on the island of Zakynthos allows you to do exactly that.

The property is designed to make the most of the spectacular outlook it has on the sea, with an amphitheatrical design and a view that take in impossibly turquoise waters, Kyllini Castle and the nearby island of Kefalonia. Inside, a simple, airy style pervades. Whitewashed walls, rattan furniture and wood floors give a relaxing feel and allow the sea to remain the star of the show. The upstairs bedrooms have a particularly lovely outlook. We think it’s probably one of the best views you’ll ever wake to.

Two private, heated outdoor pools with stunning poolside relaxation areas give you plenty of choices for somewhere to chill out and let your troubles float away, and if you want to get up close and personal with that azure sea, you have only to wander through the gate and down the path to your private stretch of beach.

And when you want to relax even more there is a fantastic waterfront spa at the hotel. This spa is situated right above the water with views across the Ionian sea. With over 20 signature therapies to be tried whilst in the spa’s luxurious and relaxing environment, you may end up booking in every day.

Staying in The Grand Residence Villa, it will feel like your own personal paradise but because the villa is part of the luxury award-winning Porto Zante resort (voted Europe’s Leading Villa Resort), you will also benefit from all the services you’d expect at a five-star hotel. Fabulous restaurants, concierge, a top class spa, a private beach and a kids club.

Eating

The property is set within the grounds of the exclusive Porto Zante resort, so guests of the villa can eat in the beachfront Club House Restaurant, which is a Mecca to Mediterranean and Greek gastronomy with stunning views out over the Ionian Sea. Fresh fish and lobster, enjoyed while watching the sun set over the neighbouring island of Kefalonia, is a top way to end any day here.

Maya restaurant set on the beachfront is also a must try, it offers fresh Asian cuisine including some spectacular sushi dishes using only the freshest of ingredients.

If, however, you prefer the privacy and quiet of your own villa, guests have access to a 24 hour in-villa dining service allowing you to enjoy delicious a la carte dining delivered straight to your villa door.
