These are the top 10 resort hotels in Europe for 2020 as voted by Travel+Leisure’s readers in the World’s Best Awards.
The pristine beaches of Greece and Italy are some of the favorite resort destinations for T+L readers, as is clearly evidenced by the numerous properties from those countries on this year’s list — five from each, to be exact. Still, 2020 also has several honorees that diversified this year’s geographic spread, including oceanfront hotels in Spain, a Swiss mountain resort, and a wine country getaway in Portugal.
1. Canaves Oia Epitome
Santorini, Greece
Score: 98.40
A minimalist design, 24 secluded suites and villas, and epic sunset views of the Aegean Sea are just a few of the qualities that make our winner a cut above the rest. Hidden away from the bustling town of Oia, privacy, barefoot luxury, and quiet calm are priorities here, but its multilevel infinity pool lined with volcanic rock and its tasty local cuisine add to the appeal. One reader enthused that the hotel offers “such a great experience, location, service, view, food, and rooms,” while another said, simply, it is the “best hotel in Santorini.”
