Luxury couples holiday

[Aliceinwonder1]

Hi,

My husband and I are looking to go away next year, possible June time. Our children will be staying with my parents so a week max Which rules out long haul flights really.
I quite fancy Greece as seen lots of beautiful photos however my husband really wants luxury, 5* type thing with great service etc. Does anyone have any recommendations? Open really to anywhere in Europe and also considering Dubai but I'd like it all inclusive really.
A private pool for the room would be amazing but not necessity!
Basically looking for somewhere really really nice as he's a bit fussier than me too.
No real budget however I'd like to keep it under £4k really.

Ikos Aria

Ikos hotels

Stella Island, Crete

Not Ikos if you’re leaving your own kids behind! Marbella Elix would fit the bill.

Or Marbella Nido which is adults only.

For the 2 of you I would look at Sicily as an alternative, not ai but it's lovely, a bit old school glamour especially Taormina. Think cocktails overlooking the sea, little restaurants... definitely a couples place

I wouldn’t do Ikos if you’re without children. Go for an adults only. Last thing you’ll want is to hear kids screaming when you don’t have yours- I guarantee you’ll notice it.

Stresa on Lake Maggiore.

Ikos Aria has several adults-only areas including an outdoor and indoor pool, and an adults only restaurant. Also, I wouldn’t worry about choosing an adults only hotel in June.

Definitely no to ikos if you’re leaving DC behind.

Sani greece has an adult only but which I’ve not visited but the family areas are good.

I’d probably go somewhere boutique - y for a romantic holiday for two, although you won’t get the all inclusive option.

We do IKOS without children. We go outside school holidays because it’s cheaper, most children around are young. We use the adult pool(s) sections of the beach and restaurants. I personally wouldn’t rule IKOS out.

Also, I wouldn’t worry about choosing an adults only hotel in June

I absolutely would! lots of EU and fee paying schools are on holiday by June and of course all the parents of under 5s are taking full advantage before the July price hike.

Can't recommend it as I haven't been but we are going to Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa in Rhodes which seems lovely, is adult only and have great reviews.

Not been personally but my sister went to Stella Island in Crete and that looked nice

FZeen Kefalonia - boutique & adults only. I haven't been but friends love it & we are planning a trip next year.

Thank you everyone for suggestions so far. Any hotel names as well as locations would be appreciated as there's just so many it's good to look and compare

Have a look at Secrets Fuerteventura!

Not Greece I know but the hotel has amazing food with several a la cartes - no restrictions - sun loungers to die for - no reserving or racing - brilliant service, lovely, spacious rooms, adult only and all inclusive.

Only suitable if you want a really relaxing holiday though.
