Blanc Palace Resort I & II

Blanc Palace Resort I & II details

“Bright apartments and a cove close by - this aparthotel gets everything right for a chilled-out family break.”

Swish hotels are all well and good. But if you’ve got the kids in tow, you need somewhere that will keep them smiling. And this aparthotel ticks the boxes.

It’s built in low-rise style, so it looks and feels friendly from the outset. It’s also a definite step-up from the norm. Design-wise, they’ve gone for a villagey feel, with blocks of ochre-washed apartments sprinkled around the grounds. Paved paths and lawns wend their way to the poolside, where you’ll find sunloungers and parasols flanked by palms. There are two pools side by side - one large rectangular one and a smaller number for little ones. Close by, a pool bar decked with wooden tables and chairs provides a place to sit with drinks while you watch over the pool. And there’s a little playground within sight from here, too.

Likewise, the interiors strike a good balance between functionality and style. Take the lobby. It’s got a hint of Scandinavian cool about it. Think chunky sofas, lots of natural light and a vaulted ceiling. The apartments, meanwhile, mostly draw praise for being spacious and well equipped. They’re bright and comfortable with large balconies. All come with smart kitchenettes and separate lounge and dining areas.

Finally, there’s the location. It’s very quiet, first and foremost. If you want the beach, there’s a picturesque cove a five-minute walk down the road and a smattering of other beaches within easy reach as well. And five minutes away, you’ve got supermarkets, shops and cafes.
