Best The Leading Hotels of the World in Greece

Kirini Santorini's recently renovated, all-suite accommodations are awash in fresh white tones and luxurious amenities like soft bedding, free Wi-Fi access, Nespresso coffee makers and satellite TV. But what really wins guests over is the great service and the unbeatable views of the Santorini caldera from almost every part of the property. Outside of the rooms, vacationers can enjoy the outdoor pool and poolside bar or indulge in A.SPA's pampering treatments, sauna, steam room, indoor Jacuzzi and heated indoor pool. To get your blood pumping, reserve a cardio machine at the appointment-only gym – though, according to recent guests, climbing the abundance of stairs throughout the property may be all the exercise you need. When hunger strikes, travelers can dine at Anthós Restaurant, which serves up local gourmet fare alongside breathtaking views of the turquoise sea. If you'd like to adventure outside of the hotel, note that the picturesque town of Oia is just a short walk away. Kirini Santorini is affiliated with The Leading Hotels of the World, so Leaders Club members can enjoy perks like free breakfast and room upgrades (when available).

As its name suggests, The Leading Hotels of the World-affiliated Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas sits in the small town of Elounda on the Greek island of Crete. This waterfront property features 219 guest rooms and suites with complimentary wine and fruit baskets, satellite TVs, stocked minibars and private balconies, terraces or gardens. Some accommodations also offer in-room fitness equipment, as well as direct beach access or private heated swimming pools. Outside the rooms, guests will find a spa, a gym with free group fitness classes, an outdoor swimming pool, five tennis courts, a diving center and a miniature golf course. Additionally, there are four bars and lounges, plus six restaurants, where diners can savor buffet-style meals, Japanese-Peruvian fusion fare, traditional Greek dishes and more. Past travelers described the on-site restaurants as "exceptional," though several said their tasty meals were expensive. Others raved about the resort's optional luxury services, such as helicopter transfers and yacht hires. To help offset the cost of meals and fee-based amenities, Leaders Club loyalty program members can redeem free room awards for stays.
