Condé Nast Traveller and five-star Zakynthos hideout Lesante Cape are joining forces to give away an unforgettable Greek island escape. The prize includes a four-night complimentary stay for two guests in a signature suite sea view with a private pool on a half-board basis; this includes buffet breakfast and five-course set menu dinners (drinks are not included). Also included is one complimentary treatment per person at Armonia Wellness and Spa (one 40-minute massage each), a cooking lesson experience at Bostani Restaurant for two, and return airport transfers from Zakynthos International Airport to the resort for two. Return flights from UK airports are provided courtesy of Inspiring Travel, an industry leader in tailor-made luxury holidays.
Lesante Cape opened in 2022 and quickly captured the imagination of discerning Grecophiles. While Lesante Cape is a recent addition to the Greek island’s hospitality scene, lovers of these shores may be familiar with the name – sister hotel Lesante Blu, part of the Lesante Collection, can be found near the picturesque village of Tragaki Zakynthos.
Accommodation at Lesante Cape ranges from 60-square-metre deluxe suites to a gargantuan three-bedroom villa that sleeps up to six guests and boasts a 120-square-metre private swimming pool. The winner and their guest will check into a signature suite with a sea view and private pool. Rest after days exploring the island in the king-size bed, and move between the separate living area and peaceful private poolside terrace as the Greek sun beats down.
Ten restaurants and bars are dotted around the resort, meaning every mealtime differs. As the mercury rises, settle into Elea Restaurant for sun-soaked breakfast spreads; think freshly-baked bread, fruit picked from local gardens, and sweet treats dipped into rich coffee. Come afternoon, guests head to Novita for the catch of the day and myriad Mediterranean flavours – elsewhere, guests sip cocktails and enjoy light bites in the stylish pool and beach bars.
As the stars make their presence known, the resort comes alive, sun-kissed diners heading to supper in the several restaurants. Dancing and classic Greek food create a buzzy atmosphere at the Greek Taverna, while fine dining options include Bostani Farm to Table, where dishes use ingredients plucked from the gardens.
Armonia Wellness & Spa is where talented therapists work on aching muscles and resort skin to its best. Treatments and therapies are inspired by ancient Mediterranean healing practices and performed in the soothingly minimalist complex. An indoor pool leads to an open-plan olive garden, where guests take in the sense of tranquillity before moving between the jacuzzi, fitness centre, sauna, and hammam.
When guests feel ready to pull themselves away from the resort, the guest experience team is on hand to tailor-make a range of excursions. The island’s historical centre is 1.5km away, Tsivili Beach is a short, scenic drive along the coast, and cultural highlights such as Agia Mavra Church and Helmis Natural History Museum are within easy reach. There’s a kid’s club within the resort for when parents wish to explore local attractions or experience Zakynthos’ romantic side.
