Read more about Platinum

More than a dozen swimming pools, fine dining and stylish interiors – the Atlantica Portobello Royal ticks all the boxes.
This hotel has been designed in the style of a Mediterranean village. Think low-rise villas with terracotta roofs and elegant archways. And it’s done well for itself in the location stakes, too. It’s just a stone’s throw from its own beach, with views over to the volcanic island of Nissyros.

It’s the pool scene that really sets this place apart from the rest, though. By any standards, it’s pretty amazing. There are 13 pools, one of which is indoors. The rest are spread across the grounds so that most of the villas open out directly onto one. It all makes for a relaxed, uncrowded feel.

In terms of accommodation, you’ve got plenty of choice. All rooms are elegantly dressed, with cream walls, mahogany furniture and burnt-gold soft furnishings. Satellite TVs and mini-fridges come as standard, and you get a balcony or a terrace, too. Opt for a Junior or Royal Suite, meanwhile, and you get in-room comforts like tea and coffee making facilities as well as CD players. And if you’re after a bit more privacy, choose a maisonette. They’re split over two floors, with a sitting room downstairs.

This place also goes all out when it comes to dining. As well as the main buffet restaurant, you’ve got the choice of a fish restaurant, a Greek taverna, an Asian and an Italian eatery at various times of the day.

Your guide to Helona Beach, Kos

“A sleepy stretch of coast not far from Kardamena, Helona Beach offers up a taste of untouched Kos.”

Skirting Kos’ south-east coastline, this secluded stretch of sand is a world away from lively Kardamena, which sits just a couple of miles along the coast. And that’s exactly where its appeal lies. Cue a wide ribbon of hourglass-fine sand lapped by the blue-green waters of the Med, a backdrop of rolling hills, and postcard-perfect views over the sea to neighbouring Nissyros.

What’s more, because this place is so quiet, there’s little to disturb you – just the odd turtle if you’re lucky. Swimming and sunbathing aside, the beach is a favourite with ramblers, too – you can go for long coastal walks without meeting a soul.

Away from the shorefront, the low-key feel continues. There isn’t any real town to speak of, but you’ll find a few hotels, shops and tavernas dotted about. The best thing about this out-of-the-way spot, though, is that you’re not really out on a limb at all. Kardamena, the island’s most popular tourist hub, is just a ten-minute taxi ride away. Offering up countless shops, restaurants and bars, as well as a pretty harbour, it’s the antithesis of sleepy Helona Beach.
