LIVE LIKE A KING IN CRETE
A hidden sanctuary situated on an idyllic sandy beach on the north-west coast of Crete, the new five-star luxury Asterion Suites & Spa, pictured above, opens this month.
Named after the king of Crete in Greek mythology, this bohemian boutique hotel has 67 design-led suites with contemporary minimalistic décor and elements of Cretan heritage and tradition.
All rooms feature a balcony or terrace with sweeping views of the sea, pool or gardens and for those seeking more privacy, the hotel has suites with private pools.
Seven nights costs from £827pp, based on two adults sharing a Superior Room with balcony or terrace, B&B, and includes return flights from London Gatwick to Chania and transfers.
Price based on select September and October 2022 departures. To book go to tui.co.uk or visit asterionsuitesandspa.com for more hotel information.

Big names from the worlds of screen, theatre and music will be performing at Warner Leisure Hotels this summer and early autumn, including the Glaswegian pop legend.
Other celebrities appearing in the 2022 Star Breaks programme include West End and TV regular Sheridan Smith, cruise series host Jane Mcdonald, everyone’s favourite lockdown disco queen Sophie Ellisbextor, 70s’ icons Hot Chocolate and classical singers Russell Watson and Wynne Evans.
Their show-stopping performances will be on offer at Warner’s collection of 15 country estates and coastal villages – including its new Oxfordshire manor retreat Heythrop Park, which opens later this summer.
Meet & Greet packages mean guests can also experience a once-ina-lifetime opportunity to grab a selfie with their favourite star on selected breaks.
The adult-only trips start from £139 for two nights, including breakfast and three-course dinners, live music, use of the spa and leisure facilities, and various other activities.
