Abaton Island Resort And Spa

You've worked hard for this holiday. The last thing you need is a beautiful room that disappoints up close. Abaton Island Resort & Spa is one of the rare places that holds up. Sitting on Crete's northern coastline in Hersonissos, it faces the Aegean with whitewashed Cycladic architecture, a private shoreline, and interiors that feel just as exquisite in person.

The island around it adds to the spectacle. Ancient ruins, olive groves, busy harbours, and crystal-clear waters all sit within easy reach. It’s one of Greece's most rewarding islands, and this is one of its finest places to stay.

A private beach, a full spa, five restaurants, daily wellness sessions. It adds up to more than a holiday. A proper reset, finally earned.
