The Royal Senses Resort and Spa
Panormo, Rethymno, Greece
The Royal Senses rises on the hillside near Panormo, with accommodation facing the north-coast seascape. Pools, an aqua park and family activities sit alongside a spa and more grown-up dining, giving different generations room to shape their own day. The beach offering is associated with neighbouring Royal Blue, so the relationship between hillside hotel and shore is worth understanding before arrival. Choose it for a varied resort holiday rather than immediate old-town life.
