Natalie Hotel

The Natalie Hotel is a lovely Mediterranean-style base close to Laganas’ resort centre. You can walk to the bars and clubs in less than 10 minutes from here, so it’s an ideal spot for making the most of the area’s buzzing nightlife. The sandy beach is even closer – just over the road, separated from the hotel grounds by a belt of greenery, which means lazy days are guaranteed, as well.

The hotel flaunts candy-hued exteriors and a traditional terracotta roof. In the middle of the grounds you’ll find a good-size pool set in a cobble-stone terrace, which comes with a shallow paddling section for little ones and a selection of cushioned loungers. Next to the water, you’ve got an open-air bar for cold drinks and cocktails. It serves food, too, and has a shady al fresco seating area for dining.
