The hotel offers 99 spacious guestrooms and suites, all of which will feature separate spaces for entertainment and relaxation. The contemporary accommodations merge the past and present through a thoughtful combination of elegant textural and artistic elements and the latest technological features. The property features a lovely spa (spread over two floors) and a variety of dining options, including a rooftop bar with great views of the city, an excellent restaurant serving European cuisine and a baroque-style coffee house.

Welcome onboard Business Class in an Air Belgium @ Welcome onboard Business Class in an Air Belgium @Airbus A330neo ✈️

Air Belgium is Belgium’s second largest airline (after Brussels Airlines) and has a fleet of 5 Airbus A330s, including two relatively new Airbus A330neos (which were originally destined to be delivered to the bankrupt German airline Air Berlin). Air Belgium currently flies scheduled passenger service between Brussels and Southern Africa (Johannesburg, Cape Town, Windhoek and Mauritius) but also operates charter flights on behalf of other airlines, such as British Airways and LOT Polish Airlines.

Here are some photos of my recent stay at @Lesante Here are some photos of my recent stay at @LesanteBlu, an adults-only 5-star retreat located on the Greek island of Zakynthos. Swipe right for more photos 🇬🇷💙

True to its name, Lesante Blu – a member of @TheLeadingHotelsoftheWorld – is surrounded by spectacular views of the Ionian Sea offering privacy and peace of mind to the discerning traveler. At Lesante Blu, the defining premise is, “it’s all about you.” This attentive and caring approach is manifested through the adults-only concept, as much as it is through private pools and the state-of-the-art suites. Fine dining restaurants with Mediterranean flavors prepared by the Executive Chef Ispiroudis Nikos enhance the culinary offerings. Among the other memorable experiences and premium amenities to be savored: complete tranquility and rejuvenating moments in the Essence Spa with Germaine de Cappucini treatments and private yacht cruises to the Blue Caves and the world famous beaches of Zakynthos.

Lesante Cape Resort & Villas is a modern island oasis that honors local culture. Located in Akrotiri village, a place of great historic value that previously housed manors of the island’s noblemen, the property is perfectly positioned on a secluded beach with extraordinary Ionian Sea views. Guests are welcomed into a modern Greek village as soon as they step foot on the property. A center square was purposefully created for socializing and festivities and includes a café, taverna, shops, folklore museum and church. Traditional Zakynthian architecture is displayed throughout the property, and a range of villas and suites offer contemporary amenities and ample privacy. Guests can reenergize the mind and body at the Armonia Wellness & Spa, and savor local Mediterranean cuisine at the property’s three dining venues.
