Grecotel, the leading hotel group in Greece, is a family-owned business with a 45-year innovative presence in Greek hospitality. Renowned for its spectacular beachfront locations in Crete, Corfu, Mykonos, Rhodes, Kos, Peloponnese and the Athenian Riviera, providing exceptional hospitality, personalised service, and a deep connection to the local culture, the Grecotel diverse portfolio is unique in the world.
Each property has a distinctive character, but all embrace a common vision: an innate heart-warming spirit and a sustainable core, where the Grecotel-owned, pioneering Agreco farm in Crete supplies every hotel with organic products and every hotel has its own edible garden and local produce, applying the farm to table approach for 20 years now.
Grecotel proudly presents its collection of LUXME® Resorts and redefines the upscale all-inclusive holiday concept. LUXME® is Luxury Made Easy® in every aspect: spectacular seafront locations, great service, outstanding dining, tailored activities, sports, wellness & entertainment!
LUXME White Palace, Crete
In a lovely setting on this popular island’s north coast, LUXME White Palace sits on a gorgeous Blue Flag, waiter-service beach with a water sports school, snorkelling, and an adults-only area for when you want some peace and quiet.
White Palace features open-style public spaces & generous light-filled accommodations that mirror the easy elegance of a Grecotel luxury resort lifestyle.
Other big draws include a sleek spa and a heated seawater pool, while heaps of other activities include Pilates and yoga, basketball, mountain biking, and horse riding. Plus, there’s the chance to visit the resort’s own organic farm.
The property is beautifully located for exploring Rethymno’s Old Town with its ancient Venetian citadel and pretty harbour lined by bars, kafenions (coffee shops), and tavernas. Other local excursions that can be arranged by the concierge include trips to the Museum of ancient Eleutherna, the first archaeological park in Crete.
LUXME Costa Botanica, Corfu
On the island’s northern coast, between the sparkling waters of the Ionian and lush green hills, the Costa Botanica is centred on a spectacular 40,000m² water park with slides and lazy rivers threading past palm and banana trees. There are also four freshwater outdoor pools and a spa with an indoor pool to dive into.
Other attractions include eight restaurants and bars serving everything from Greek and Mediterranean cuisine to modern Asian fare, while activities range from beach volleyball to tennis and padel. You can also visit Danilia Village, a replica of a 1930s Corfiot village where scenes in For Your Eyes Only, The Durrells, and most recently My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 were filmed.
LUXME Daphnila Bay, Corfu
One of three Grecotel resorts in the elite Kommeno peninsula development on the island’s east coast, Daphnila Bay is a wonderful spot for waterfront dining. For beachfront dining, head to Asia Oliva buffet restaurant for fresh sushi each night or stop by Tavernaki with its meze and ouzo.
Tumbling down the hillside to its own sandy bay and the Ionian Sea, Daphnila Bay offers accommodation in airy, light-hued rooms, suites, and one villa, all within gorgeous pine-scented gardens. There are also water sports galore on its Blue Flag beach and activities around the rest of the resort, and you’re also only a few minutes from Corfu Golf Course and from Corfu Town.
LUXME Dama Dama, Rhodes
Named after the deer that have lived on this much-loved island since ancient times, Dama Dama is located on a famous Blue Flag Faliraki Beach and has a 100m swimming pool as its centrepiece – one of four impressive pools. There’s also a water slide, a yoga and Pilates club, and an outdoor gym by the beach.
As well as standing out for its loft-style family suites and two-bedroom bungalows, this is a resort known for its fantastic dining, from indulgent pâtisserie-chocolaterie and creperie-gelateria spots to global degustation menus in the adults-only Rose. Meanwhile, e-bike and e-scooter hire encourages you to get out and about exploring the island.

All-inclusive resorts come in many forms, but AVA Resort Cancun sets out to do things a little differently. This newly opened property focuses on space, flexibility, and experiences that work just as well for couples as they do for families or groups. With a prime location just ten minutes from Cancún International Airport, it’s an easy arrival and an even easier place to settle into holiday mode.
Stretching along one of Dubai’s longest private beaches, JA The Resort offers a refreshingly flexible way to holiday. Instead of a one-size-fits-all experience, you’ll find three distinct hotels sharing the same shoreline, dining scene, and activity offerings. Guests can move freely between restaurants, bars, and experiences, choosing days that are as full or as slow as you like. Whether you’re travelling with children, craving space and privacy, or want a modern resort with plenty to do, each hotel brings its own personality to the stay.
If sunshine is non-negotiable when you travel, choosing the right destination at the right time makes all the difference. Some places are at their best when others are off-season, giving you warmer days, clearer skies, and a better overall experience. From southern-hemisphere summers to autumn escapes that keep the heat going, here’s where to plan your trip for sunshine throughout the year.
