Honouring the authentic spirit of Zakynthos, the Lesante Cape Resort & Villas is a beautiful 5-star property and member of The Leading Hotels of the World that is modelled on a traditional island village. Centred around a plateia, or square, and with a café, taverna, a scattering of small shops and a cultural museum and church, you’ll often feel as though you’re staying in one of the quaint local towns rather than a hotel. This sense of cultural immersion is complemented by the exemplary service and luxurious hospitality, which provide you with a stress-free stay as you are waited on hand and foot. The hotel lies perched on the edge of a coastal cliff, with stunning terraced infinity pools that look out over the sparkling Ionian waters. At the base of this cliff lies a small stony beach leading to the crystalline waters, a place where guests can enjoy privileged access to lounge under the hot Zakynthian sun. At the hotel, guests may explore a diverse culinary tapestry across the 10 onsite restaurants and bars. Cuisines range from authentic Greek taverna dishes and Zakynthian fine dining through to farm-to-table gastronomy and international classics. The bars, meanwhile, serve a selection of delicious cocktails and other refreshing beverages, while the resort’s wine cellar offers sommelier-led tasting sessions. The Armonia Wellness & Spa celebrates centuries-old Mediterranean wellbeing practises, incorporating local herbs and natural ingredients into a menu of purifying rituals and remedies. The spa is also home to a relaxing indoor pool as well as a Jacuzzi, sauna and authentic hammam. Onsite activities include yoga, paddle tennis and Greek-cuisine cooking classes. A standout experience, you can set sail aboard the resort’s luxury yacht towards one of the region’s finest beaches: Navagio. Here you can lounge on the pristine sands or swim in the glistening waters, or instead visit a number of other nearby beaches that are astounding in their beauty.
