| Mykonos - Ornos Beach
Number of rooms: 62 rooms, 26 suites, 8 villas
Rate range: From 178 GBP (per room per night)
Owned/Managed by: Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Clientele: Gay Friendly
Situated on a private peninsular overlooking the bay of Ornos, the Santa Marina provides luxurious accommodation and a wealth of facilities to pamper every guest. For crying out loud, there's even a helipad if you decide to forego Happy Gay Travel's charter flight and take your own chopper instead!
The owners of the Santa Marina claim that luxury is their goal, and this is totally apparent as soon as you walk into their beautiful hotel. You can sit back with a cool drink and gaze out over the sparkling blue sea, enjoy a buffet breakfast to set you up for the day or sample the wares of the pool restaurants and bars at any time you like.
If it's seclusion you're after then you can lounge around on the Santa Marina's own private beach and refresh yourself at the beach bar which also offers the finest barbecue cuisine.
No quality holiday is complete without gourmet dining, and you need look no further than the Marine Club and Restaurant with its magical sea views and an unforgettable array of Mediterranean and seafood dishes. Oh, and don't forget to have a drink on the verandah at evening time: no day is complete without experiencing a Mykonos sunset, and you couldn't find a better spot to do just that. It's fab!
There are 96 rooms here at the Santa Marina Resort and Villas (the difference between the classic and the deluxe is size) and they all feature maid service twice a day, air conditioning, mini bar, safe, CD player (suites only), a voicemail facility, satellite TV, bathrobes and slippers. The classic suites have a sitting room too.
To end a perfect day of relaxation, think about treating yourself at the Lotus Spa, featuring exclusive products from Dr Hauska, Ana Taina, Leonor Greyl and Shavata. Therapies for relaxation, refreshment, hydration and, erm, tightening (what's that?), applied with the finest products in combination with traditional and contemporary techniques, restore the balance between body and spirit which, in this crazy old world of ours, we could all do with.
