Daios Cove Luxury Resort & Villas
Vathi, Agios Nikolaos, Crete, Greece
Daios Cove tumbles down a cliff to its own sandy bay, where the water shelves so gently that toddlers can paddle safely. Babies go to a crèche staffed by Worldwide Kids nursery nurses, older children to a free club, and family villas come with pool fencing and private pools. It's design-led luxury that has quietly thought about young children.
