Overview

Lesante Cape offers a designed experience that intentionally blurs resort and village life, setting a traditional Zante architecture against modern comfort and service. The hotel is centred on a communal square that hosts a café, shops, a folklore museum and a taverna, creating an accessible social nucleus within the grounds. Buildings use white stone, proud arches and earthy palettes to reflect local building traditions, while interior décor pairs wooden and straw elements with contemporary fittings. The overall proposition emphasises heritage, seafront views and a range of accommodation from suites through to multi-bedroom villas, providing options that suit solo travellers and couples.

Location

Situated in Akrotiri village, the hotel occupies a characteristic coastal site with broad views over the Ionian Sea and a small private coastline reached by steps from the property. The immediate area retains cultural markers of the island’s historic manors, and the hotel’s layout deliberately references that history so guests can move easily between the central plaza, beachfront and landscaped gardens. The location balances privacy and accessibility: it provides a sheltered seaside setting while also presenting opportunities to explore wider island attractions and marine activities offered locally.

Facilities

On-site facilities aim to cover wellness, recreation and everyday conveniences. The Armonia Wellness & Spa provides a programme of therapeutic and beauty treatments alongside spa facilities such as a sauna, hammam, an indoor jacuzzi and an indoor pool, supported by trained therapists and spa amenities. Outdoor options include multiple infinity pools and a private beach with a limited number of sunbeds, while indoor fitness needs are served by a modern gym and personal training. The resort also operates padel tennis courts, arranges yoga sessions and offers family facilities and services intended to support longer stays and group requirements. Food and beverage outlets encircle the square, giving guests easy access to a variety of dining choices without leaving the site.

Room

Accommodation ranges from modern suites to large villas, each reflecting local craft and island style. Deluxe and sea-view suites combine living areas with verandas that face the plaza or the Ionian Sea and are furnished in a restrained island palette with natural materials and soft textiles. Suites with spa baths and outdoor hot tubs are available alongside signature suites that include private pools and garden views; villas span one- to three-bedroom configurations and reinterpret old country estates through exposed stone, wooden joists and elegant furnishings. Many villas and suites provide furnished terraces or outdoor dining areas and are equipped with facilities intended for families and groups, including multiple bathrooms and kitchen facilities in selected villa types.

Sports & Entertainment

The resort provides a varied activity portfolio to suit different interests: scuba diving and snorkelling excursions, guided hiking routes, and opportunities to observe local marine species are complemented by in-house leisure amenities. Pools and the beach support swimming and relaxation, while padel courts and a fully equipped gym cater for fitness-focused guests; coaching and private lessons can be arranged for those wishing to improve technique. Evenings are enlivened by music and cultural programming in the central square and at the taverna, and curated experiences such as wine tastings and culinary workshops are offered to guests who want to engage with the island’s food culture. Child-friendly activities and family services are organised to ensure younger guests have appropriate entertainment and supervision.

Dining & Bars

Dining at the property covers a spectrum from casual to formal, with menus anchored in local and Mediterranean tradition. Elea Restaurant presents regional artisanal dishes alongside international selections, while Novita serves coastal and provincial plates in a poolside setting. Fiore Fine Dining offers a high-end menu that marries local produce with global culinary techniques and is presented with sea views. The Bostani venue highlights produce from the hotel’s own gardens, and the Taverna recreates a village supper setting with traditional Greek classics and live music. A selection of bars, including a beach bar and pool bar, provides lighter refreshments and signature cocktails, and a wine cellar staffed by sommeliers offers guided tastings and pairings for guests seeking a deeper appreciation of local and international wines.
