Luxury made easy: A closer look at Grecotel LUXME Costa Botanica

A resort that feels like its own little world

Covering hundreds of thousands of square metres, LUXME Costa Botanica unfolds across 350,000 square metres of lush nature and canals - a childhood paradise with a thrilling Aqua Park and authentic village piazza. Low-rise country houses and summer residences are arranged around gardens, canals, and walkways, with four outdoor freshwater pools dotted throughout. A one-kilometre sandy beach runs alongside the resort, with sun loungers, shallow bays, and walking paths that lead to quieter natural areas, perfect for guests who like to explore rather than stay put.

Dining that goes well beyond the basics

Food plays a big role in the LUXME experience, and here it’s anything but an afterthought. Guests can move between multiple à la carte restaurants throughout their stay, with menus ranging from refined fine dining to comforting Italian dishes and bold Asian-inspired flavours. There’s also a generous main restaurant, a dedicated wine spot, and tempting extras like a chocolate bar and beachside creperie. Premium wines, cocktails, and desserts are all included, making each meal feel intentional rather than routine.

Activities for every energy level

Whether your idea of a good holiday involves staying active or slowing everything down, Costa Botanica gives you options. The resort features a newly upgraded spa and a high-spec indoor gym complete with Technogym equipment and a boxing ring. Outdoors, there’s tennis, Padel, cycling routes, water sports, and plenty of organised activities for children, including creative and nature-based experiences. And then there’s the Aqua Park, a major highlight for families, with slides and splash zones that easily fill entire afternoons.

Comfortable stays with a relaxed feel

Accommodation is split between country-style houses arranged in small neighbourhoods and summer residences set around the main pool area. Both options focus on space, comfort, and a low-key aesthetic rather than over-the-top luxury. With kids staying free up to age 12 and family-friendly layouts throughout, it’s easy to settle in and feel at home.

An island-hopping adventure through the Gulf of Thailand

Thailand has long been a favourite for island escapes, but rather than choosing just one destination, why not experience several?

With reliable ferry connections making travel between the islands straightforward, it's never been easier to combine multiple destinations into one unforgettable holiday.
