This is a stunning resort, located at the island’s best viewpoint, offering breathtaking views of the sea and mountains. We booked a room with a sea view, and the moments we spent on the balcony were absolutely magical. The room is cleaned twice a day.
The property’s greatest asset, beyond the incredible view, is undoubtedly its staff. Every single employee, without exception, was exceptionally kind and attentive, and it was clear that their warmth came from the heart, not just because they were told to act that way.
The resort has two pools: one outdoor and one indoor, located in the spa area. The outdoor infinity pool overlooks, of course, the stunning scenery. The indoor pool has pleasantly warm water and excellent jets that relax every muscle and ease any ache. There are also saunas and a sensory shower. The fitness center is large and well equipped, and there are yoga and Pilates classes. We didn’t try the spa treatments, but they’re available on site.
There’s also a private (rocky) beach. The resort features a Michelin-starred restaurant and a bistro, where we had dinner on our first night. There’s also an outdoor bar by the pool. Breakfast is a feast of delicacies, it was honestly hard to choose (so we didn’t!).
The resort offers shuttle service to the port, which is a great advantage and a perfect solution for those arriving without a car. On the following two nights, we used the shuttle to reach the port and dined at one of the nearby restaurants.
There isn’t much to do on the island itself, it’s very small, and one day (or even half a day) is enough to see it all (you can also hike up to the volcano crater). In my opinion, the best thing to do is simply to relax at the resort, not leave it, and make the most of everything it has to offer. Exceptional!
If I had to give one negative comment, it would be about the restaurant and bar prices. For example, charging €22 for a cocktail when the price everywhere else is around €8, it’s pushing the limit a bit, and that’s a shame.
