HALKIDIKI , GREECE

Eagles Villas

Don’t come expecting eagles – do come expecting glittering sea views, private plunge pools, incredible service and a restful restaurant, which capably champions the bounty of the Aegean. The team behind Eagles Villas has already nailed Halkidiki hospitality via sister property, Eagles Palace; guests at the villas can tap into the palace’s perks, too. (We’re talking a private beach, pampering spa, octopus-toting taverna, mellow beach bar, helpful kids club – and much more to boot.)
