The Best Hotels Near Amethyst Selene, by the Record

Every suite comes with its own infinity plunge pool and private steps down through the gardens to the beach, which sets expectations appropriately. This adults-only boutique hotel sits in a quiet village on the Greek mainland's western coast, looking out over the Ionian Sea with floor-to-ceiling glass and zero ambient noise. Clean lines, local stone, earth tones, and a farm breakfast delivered poolside each morning round out the picture.

Olive green and natural wood run through the rooms here, which is a quiet statement in a country where seaside hospitality defaults to white walls and blue trim. This boutique hillside resort sits above Parga on the mainland's northwest coast, a short drive from the Ionian. Terraces and balconies are standard, bathtubs nearly so, and the two-bedroom villas add private pools and fireplaces. The main pool, cut into the hillside, is where most of the day goes.
