Our five-star Indulgent Escapes properties are a cut above in various ways, but their astonishing architecture is certainly one of their standouts. Some are even more impressive than others too. So be sure to take your time to roam around here, photographing every frame as you go...

Tivoli La Caleta Tenerife Resort
Tenerife, Canary Islands
The terracotta tones of Tivoli La Caleta Tenerife Resort will first draw you in – and they contrast to the twinkling blues of the sea just ahead, so expertly. A true bonus of nature. Plus, you’ll notice its tropical garden setting just adds to the vibrant pop of colour that makes this such an eye-catching oasis. The layout is all about championing wide, open spaces too, which means you can have your run of a hotel aimed to flow landscapes into architecture.

Asia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa A Royal Hideaway Hotel
Costa Blanca, Spain
The clue may be in the name of this pick, but Asia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa A Royal Hideaway Hotel brings a fantastic southeast Asian fusion to its aesthetics in Spain. It combines temple-esque roofing with exotic gardens, while peaceful water features gently flow among it. Talk about a breath of fresh air. Outdoor massages and dips in the pool don’t come with more attractive scenery than this, so you can truly get a feel for the jungle from the Mediterranean coast.

The Olivar Suites
Corfu, Greece
Modern luxury is the dish of every day here at The Olivar Suites. Corfiot traditions are embraced around each corner, yet the complex continues to embody pure trendiness. You’ll also notice that the hotel has been built on the site of a former olive mill, as a number of nods to its past remain. Laid out like a village, neutral tones and natural textures pave the way to intricate stonework and preserved olive trees.

Katikies Chromata Santorini
Santorini, Greece
It’s no secret that Santorini packs a wow factor without lifting a finger – that’s thanks to its jaw-dropping caldera that holidaymakers flock to see. But you can enjoy plenty of serenity at Katikies Chromata Santorini. The whitewashed hideaway is carved into the cliffs, so the rooms are essentially within caves. All of which have private terraces too. While minimalistic décor has ample opportunity to induce a sense of calm, it offers a stark, complementing sight to the dramatic views ahead.

Anassa
Paphos Area, Cyprus
A classic Cypriot village look is the idea behind Anassa, nestled within pretty Polis and Latchi. Snow-white walls and courtyards dominate here, and you’ll even stumble upon some Roman columns. It strikes the ultimate balance between local architecture, Mediterranean hillside charm and sea-facing splendour. Oh, and 18 treatment rooms await for when you need a pamper afternoon.
