Truly a sybaritic escape, Sabrinas Haus enjoys a stunning location on a remote shoreline. There are 17 individually designed rooms and suites (think whitewashed wood floors, antiques and four-poster beds) in a beautiful mature garden. However beware the hotel's policy of charging extras for many items (tea, drinking water etc).
The infinity pool, seafront deck and thatched bar at the end of a pier are all super; the spa offers myriad massages and treatments; and activities include cruises to Symi on the hotel's own 88ft gület (wooden sailing boat). Note that there is a minimum two-night stay (three nights June to September), and children under 14 aren't allowed.
