Luxury Travel Guide: 5 Mediterranean Hotels You Can’t Miss
The Mediterranean is all about timelessness chic, breathtaking vistas, and effortless luxury that enthralls each guest. Whether hugging the Amalfi Coast cliffs, looking out at the cobalt blue waters of the Aegean, or nestled in a charming Spanish village, Mediterranean hotels offer an unparalleled experience of refined ease. At Nolita Harbour, we adore quality craftsmanship, and these five hotels are the ultimate in sophistication and effortless elegance we adore.
1. Le Sirenuse – Positano, Italy
Perched dramatically on the cliffs of Positano, Le Sirenuse is Mediterranean chic personified. Originally a private summer residence, this boutique hotel remains part of a private family and preserves its elegant yet intimate ambiance. Handmade Vietri tiles bedeck the decor, arched ceilings, and antique furnishings to blend classic Italian elegance with present-day luxury. Guests unwind on private balconies with stunning views of the Amalfi Coast or plunge into the pool’s emerald-green waters. Le Sirenuse is a hotel that is also an experience, complete with Michelin-starred dining and a world-class spa.
Design Highlight: Whitewashed walls, rich red and blue hues, and custom furniture that captures the Mediterranean’s artistry.
2. Amanzoe – Porto Heli, Greece
Set amidst Peloponnesian countryside with a picturesque setting, Amanzoe is a master lesson in Grecian serenity. Designed in the form of a modern-day acropolis, the resort merges Doric pillars, marble patios, and peaceful reflecting pools into the setting of the olive groves flawlessly. The villa amenities offer a private pool, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and bespoke furniture from ancient Greek styles. Amanzoe’s holistic luxury strategy includes wellness retreats, farm-to-table restaurants, and an Aegean Sea beach club on crystalline shores.
Design Highlight: Incorporating minimalism with natural stone, sculptural furnishings, and open living spaces that complement Mediterranean light.
3. Belmond La Residencia – Mallorca, Spain
Located in the quaint village of Deià on Mallorca’s northwest coast, Belmond La Residencia is a Mediterranean oasis of serenity. A 16th-century property, restored to perfection, the estate is made up of two fully renovated manor houses with timber beams, terra cotta-tiled roofs, and an extensive inventory of Spanish artwork. The compound overlooks olive groves and boasts stunning mountain and ocean vistas. Activities for guests can range from handmade workshops, secret cove adventures, or reclining in rooms with lovingly crafted Mallorcan wood pieces of furniture and folk textiles.
Design Highlight: Blend of rustic stone walls, vibrant ceramic tiles, and locally designed furniture with a Mediterranean flair.
4. La Bastide de Gordes – Provence, France
For Mediterranean elegance with a touch of French aristocracy, La Bastide de Gordes in the Valley of Luberon is an absolute must. This erstwhile 18th-century chateau-turned-hotel wears antique tapestries, lavish chandeliers, and large fireplaces, creating an imperial but welcoming atmosphere. The lush terraced gardens and awe-inspiring views of lavender fields make this estate the very essence of Provençal idyll.
Design Highlight: Sophisticated interiors with beautiful French furnishings, rich textures, and Mediterranean-inspired outdoor spaces perfect for al fresco dining.
5. Canaves Oia Suites – Santorini, Greece
Santorini is famous for its whitewashed architecture and caldera views, and Canaves Oia Suites takes this style to new levels. Chiseled into the spectacular cliffs of Oia, this luxury hotel fuses traditional Cycladic with modern minimalism. Envision swooping archways, serene all-white interiors, and infinity pools that appear to spill into the Aegean Sea. Each suite is a masterpiece of bespoke craftsmanship, with hand-hewn wooden furnishings and subtle blue accents that capture the island’s natural beauty.
Design Highlight: Serene white and pale neutral color palette, sculpted pieces, and flowing indoor-outdoor living spaces.
