Our Story…
Jack and I got married in March and had booked Dubai as our honeymoon, due to Covid we were unable to travel.
We contacted Meon Valley Travel and they were incredible at moving everything and making sure we found another very special destination with no stress!
The Meon Valley leisure team found us this amazing destination in Greece and we couldn’t wait to finally get away on our honey moon in September.
We woke up on the day of travel very excited. From parking the car and using the airport shuttle, to going through customs and boarding the plane, everything felt so well organized and safe. Multiple times Jack and I praised how well everyone was doing and how safe we felt.
One word sums this resort up, WOW!
From the champagne that greeted us on arrival, all the staff knowing our names, to the private pool in our room. Every inch of this resort has been thought about to perfection.
We were shown to our room, a deluxe seafront room with private pool, which again did not disappoint. It was modern, fresh, spacious and we loved the little extra’s such as the espresso coffee maker, his and her bathroom space and the electric curtains which with a click of a button from your bed in the morning, was just gorgeous with the sun streaming in. The outdoor space was perfect too, with a sofa, sunbeds and our private pool to dip in out of was just blissful.
Dotted around the resort are lots a snug areas, very private and secluded in which just to enjoy each others company and have a cocktail or two. Our favourite snug though was the high decking area which had gorgeous rocking chairs and looked out over the sea, watching the sunset with staff on hand to bring you drinks and snacks was just incredible and so relaxing.
The food, well, with multiple high-end restaurant’s such as infamous ‘Buddha Bar’ – the food here is out of this world. All tastes catered from, seafood to steak, every evening, dinner was always a 5-course meal and the breakfast a selection of caviar, fresh salmon, fruit anything you desired you could have. The food really is highlight of the hotel, a foodies heaven.
Taking into account that we were fortunate to getaway during this pandemic and between lockdowns, we were so impressed by how the hotel were at the top of their game with cleaning, making sure that everywhere was cleaned thoroughly every day and even down to the being able to use your an app on your phone to look at the menus and place your order etc. All staff were wearing facemasks and both Jack and I felt very safe and reassured.
The hotel attracts quite a niche clientele, it is an instagramers heaven, very modelesque and attracts many of the rich and famous, a definite high-end vibe. Given this many people spent a lot of time in their own private spaces and rooms, which just adds to the exclusivity of this gorgeous resort.
The resort is about a 30 minute walk from the nearest shop and enjoys it’s own private beach, which is a little rocky in some areas but the water is crystal blue and plenty of sun beds to choose from, this hotel really does tick all the boxes.
If you are looking for a resort that has luxury and relaxation, then Abaton Island is certainly that.
