Likya Pavilion
Seaside action and total relaxation on Kalkan’s sparkling shores. The Likya Pavilion is an adult only, blissful sanctuary to unwind and renew.
The Likya Pavilion is an elegant and sophisticated boutique hotel with a stunning location overlooking the sea, on the Western shore of the Bay of Kalkan. It stands apart by its inordinate amount of space and the beautiful gardens, while each of the 10 suites with private pools are more akin to private villa than hotel room. It is ideal for couples who can enjoy the privacy of their own villa with full hotel services.
Cool architecture combining local wood and stone is offset by stunning secret gardens hidden between alleys and hedgerows in the most idyllic seafront setting. It feels like being on top of a plateau and ensures far reaching seascapes over the Bay of Kalkan. The Pavilion exudes laid-back, beach chic vibes with leafy gardens offset by bright pink bougainvillea – the stylish suites are virtually hidden within the grounds and wonderfully secluded.
The complimentary, private beach club – shared only with like-minded guests from The Likya Gardens – is a leisurely 5-10-minute stroll down the lane. Here, hippy-chic steps lead down from the Waterfront Terrace to the seafront. There is direct access to the sea with loungers, parasols and diving platforms scattered at intervals. There is a waiter and towel service to both the beach club and the private cabanas with a range of healthy, light snacks, fresh juices and cooling drinks.

Cayo Exclusive Resort & Spa
The Cayo Exclusive Resort and Spa is a seriously elegant design hotel. The property enjoys unprecedented space in each of it’s 70 pool suites and offers guests unparalleled views of the iridescent Spinalonga Island, a UNESCO world Heritage List nominee, together with mesmerising vistas over the sparkling azure waters of Mirabello Bay. Standing in an elevated position, aloft a steep hill, it is still only 250 metres from Plaka pebble beach and dramatically framed by jagged cliffs.
Exceptional attention to detail is demonstrated throughout the Cayo Hotel Concept. The property has been meticulously designed to blend seamlessly with it surrounds and embrace Cretan architectural design. Interiors have been paired by Milanese designer Gian Paolo Venier who took his inspiration from the culture and natural landscape of the island- where possible combining local artisan’s craftmanship with modern furnishings, fittings, and cool neutral tones. Even the selected materials for the project are those rich in the history of Greece, white marble, volaka marble and terracotta. All of which have been handpicked to provide guests with a sense of connection to their surrounds. Throughout, the property exudes bohemian characteristics underpinned by a level of comfort and luxury that is often difficult to find. Accommodation options are plentiful, with many room categories having the option of additional beds or cots- lending itself to families and friends travelling together as well as couples. With so much room to roam guests will relish the incredible outside space and panoramic views from every aspect.
For those seeking a flop and drop vacay with plenty of rest and relaxation there are plenty of swimming opportunities in situ. The hotel boasts two large and beautiful swimming pools where you can bathe under sunny Cretan Skies or cosy up poolside on a voluptuous lounger with a good read. Beyond the pool, is Cayo’s spot on the beach, located just 250m from the hotel and if you don’t fancy stretching your legs, the hotel shuttle runs from the morning into the evening- it’s a wonderful place to unwind while being serenaded by the majestic sounds of the sea. And if you are looking for some respite from the sun, a visit to the well being centre will be the ultimate rejuvenation remedy, pick from one of the many treatments listed on the spa menu or unwind in the Turkish bath. There is also a fitness centre and studio for those who prefer not to let their holiday stand in the way of workout rituals.
A stay at the Cayo Exclusive Resort allows guests to be as well looked after as they like and as independent too. So often the conception with resort hotels is that with everything you could possibly need at your fingertips there is very little reason to leave. The same of course can be said for the Cayo Exclusive Resort which offers residents opportunities to dine in four different restaurants and two bars all of which offer exceptional cuisine with many ingredients seasonal and sourced from local eco-friendly farms or produced in the hotel’s own organic garden. However, Cayo is committed to supporting the local Cretan culture and a sustainable approach to tourism. To this end, the team encourage guests to enjoy the local tavernas in Plaka and explore the wider region, taking in a climbing experience, hiking, water sports and diving.
No matter your interests, the Cayo Exclusive Resort and Spa will provide the ultimate relaxation vacation. The position makes it easy to pick up the pace and venture effortlessly beyond the hotel perimeters. It is however the wonderful team locally on site, who deliver a friendly and attentive service. Proud and hospitable, they are eager to provide a relaxed atmosphere and unforgettable experience that makes it so hard to leave.
