There are certain things you can take for granted at a Domes resort. Named the world’s leading luxury resort brand in 2022 by the World Travel Awards, Domes makes a point of handpicking destinations with rich culture and natural beauty, then enhancing them with five-star hideaways that are superbly located, stylishly designed and filled with indulgent features and experiences.
Mostly scattered across Greece, with one Portuguese outpost, the resorts fall under four brands: Domes Originals, embodying classic luxury and opulence; Domes Noruz, design-led adults-only retreats; Domes Aulūs, all-inclusive foodie havens; and Domes Reserves, uncommon escapes in unspoilt locations.
All allow you to elevate your holiday experience even further thanks to their Haute Living Selection offering: a hotel within a hotel concept that brings a host of extra benefits, including 24/7 concierge services, upgraded room amenities and access to an exclusive VIP lounge area that serves snacks and drinks throughout the day for unlimited consumption.
Booking your Domes escape with British Airways Holidays couldn’t be easier. Simply decide on your preferred resort, then take advantage of the flexible payment scheme to secure your holiday with a low deposit (from just £60 per person) and spread the balance across as many instalments as you like.* As with all British Airways Holidays, you’ll also get a 23kg per person baggage allowance, the support of a 24-hour holiday helpline while you’re away and the reassurance that your summer break comes with Atol protection.

An eminently Instagrammable affair, it has sleek all-white architecture, a sexy central pool and a prime spot mere steps from the sea on Halkidiki’s westernmost peninsula.

The resort styles itself as “a beach club with rooms”, with live music, DJ sets, fashion shows and pool parties all playing their part in creating a scene that balances chilling out by day and partying by night.

Activities include water yoga and boat tours
Aqua yoga, Minoan cooking lessons and boat trips to the Unesco-protected Spinalonga Island are just a few of the enriching experiences on offer at the award-winning Domes of Elounda, a Domes Originals property on the northeast coast of Crete. Add in picture-perfect views, fabulous restaurants, bars and pools, and the buzzy open-air Core area, with its pop-up stores and food trucks, and it’s no surprise this beautiful village-style resort is considered one of the Mediterranean’s finest luxury retreats. The swish suites, villas and residences (some with up to four bedrooms) all come with a private pool or Jacuzzi and there’s plenty to keep guests entertained, from supervised kids’ clubs to a tranquil spa. You can also upgrade to Haute Living Selection to unlock VIP perks.

Charted waters
The hotel has
four pools and
a private lake
Part of Domes Originals, Domes Lake Algarve has a prime spot on Portugal’s sun-soaked south coast, on the edge of trendy Vilamoura. The marina is right next door and the golden sands of Falésia beach just a short stroll away. Many guests, however, prefer to make the most of the hotel’s four pools (one of which has a natural sandy bottom, while another is adults-only) and private lake, where you can go kayaking and paddleboarding. Families and couples are well catered for, with facilities that include excellent restaurants and bars, a kids’ club and playground, and a mini multi-sports court. Keen spa-goers and golfers, meanwhile, are spoiled, with the award-winning Soma Spa on site and a courtesy shuttle service providing connections to six top golf courses nearby.

If you’re looking for a chic, romantic hideaway, this adults-only resort on the east coast of Corfu ticks all the right boxes. Now part of Domes Originals, it was once owned by the Onassis family and is every bit as glamorous as you’d expect, with glossy interior design and its own sleek yacht, Miramaretta, which guests can charter for airport transfers and island tours. Rooms are split between two wings: the Seafront Wing, down by the shoreline, and the new Panoramic Wing, with an elevated location and stunning Ionian views. Whichever you opt for, you’ll be staying in style, especially if you upgrade to Haute Living Selection and gain access to a dedicated lounge offering everything from all-day drinks and snacks to creative entertainment and special events.
