Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
We focus on five-star hotels and boutique addresses with a documented record of excellence: a consistently strong overall impression, well-considered rooms and public spaces, and guest scores in the top bracket — typically 9.0 out of 10 or above.
What sets each property apart
Points in favour include infinity pools with sea views, direct beach access with cabanas and beach service, well-run spas, suites with private pools and kitchens with a clear and committed local identity. An efficient concierge and smooth transfer arrangements carry weight too.
Location and surroundings
We look for beachside addresses in Pigadia and Amoopi — close to the water, the promenade and the restaurants — as well as elevated positions with uninterrupted panoramic views for those after maximum peace. Seclusion is welcome, but the practicalities should be straightforward: a reasonable distance from the airport and good connections to the island's key beaches.
