Royal Mare Village - 5 Star

Our opinion:

An elegant bungalow/hotel concept of unique architectural beauty offering luxurious accommodation and excellent facilities.

The architecture of the Royal Mare Village reflects the concept of the Ancient Greeks being that the beauty and luxury of the environment is an essential factor for our health to stimulate the body and the mind. A stay at the Royal Mare Village can be combined with programmes for relaxation, fitness and health at the Royal Mare Thalasso Therapy/Spa centre. This deluxe complex offers excellent accommodation in elegant surroundings combined with a host of facilities and is located on the sandy beach of Anissaras, which is approximately two and a half kilometres from Hersonissos.
