An Asian-tinged spa hotel on Corfu and more dewy-faced arrivals

[View in browser]( [Image](   [HOTELS]( [INSPIRATION]( [OFFERS]( There's a wholesome meme that does the rounds at this time of year which shows an anthropomorphised egg enjoying walking in the park, picking fruit, carving a pumpkin, and reading by a fire – 'Humpty Dumpty had a great fall' being the punchline. But there's no need to resort to seasonal cliches just yet, Mr D, because we've sourced a cracking collection of A-plus Portuguese surf retreats, rock-star Croatian villas, and a couple of (safely) volcano-side escapes – all of which promise plenty more in the way of a great summer. Oh, and a Greek island super spa which can help put you back together again any time you need. [SEE WHAT'S NEW](   ANGSANA RESORT & SPA, CORFU, GREECE Primely positioned on a hillside on east-coast Corfu, newcomer Angsana isn't one to feign modesty. It has the largest pool on the island, a super-sized spa, a private beach club (with a fleet of buggies to take you there), and no fewer than eight bars and restaurants, dishing up everything from Greek tavern classics to Far East fusion. Unlike many Corfu hotels, it’s open year-round, making it doubly attractive if you're angling for an out-of-season stay. [VIEW HOTEL](   [Alternate text]( LE DOMAINE DE SIRIUS, PÉRIGORD, FRANCE À votre santé takes on a very literal meaning at this bijou retreat deep in Périgord wine country. Holistically-minded host Victoire is ever-ready to guide you on the path to harmony, whipping up organic plant-based dishes, running a range of daily wellness classes and giving up the countryside’s secrets (including the best places for rejuvenating forest hikes). Several winsome bastides (fortified towns) are within reach of the domaine, including beautiful Belvès, Monpazier and Cadouin. [VIEW HOTEL](   IMMERSO, ERICEIRA, PORTUGAL Ericeira’s reputation for rugged beaches and exceptional Atlantic surf was cemented years back, but what it didn’t have was a stay of real substance. Like white horses cresting a perfect break, Immerso has filled that gap with a swish of its salt-tousled mane. Inspired by land and sea alike, the wood-clad building stands on grass-tufted dunes that lead to Europe’s only protected surfing reserve. It’s at one with the local surf culture but adds just the right level of sophistication, including regional fine dining, a spa toting Vinoble products and a fleet of e-bikes for guests. [VIEW HOTEL](   [Alternate text]( ZASH COUNTRY BOUTIQUE HOTEL, CATANIA, SICILY Ever had dinner interrupted by a waiter who tells you that the volcano is erupting and would you like to come and see the lava streams? It sounds like pure REM cycle fodder but it’s actually quite common at Zash Country Boutique Hotel, the stay with the hottest views of Mount Etna in all of Sicily. Bed down in the dusky-rose villa of the Maugeri wine dynasty or the modern villas by architect Antonio Iraci, overlooking citrus groves and the distant Ionian sea. Aside from gazing at the smouldering giant, you can taste (and swill) the bounty of the volcanic terroir, steam yourself in the spa, ride the local wine train and sail to hidden beaches. [VIEW HOTEL](   VILLA NAI 3.3, DUGI OTOK, CROATIA Feast your eyes on eight-room marvel Villa Nai 3.3, a Nikola BaÅ¡ić-designed stay hewn from the rock of Dugi Otok island. The renowned Croatian architect’s creation stands amid an ancient, family-owned grove that produces multiple-award-winning olive oils. The rooms are like modernist grottos, with exposed stone, Giorgetti furniture and sunken terraces shaded by sails. The aforementioned oils are used liberally at restaurant 3.3, which does a seven-course Dalmatian tasting menu with pairings of choice Croatian wines. [VIEW HOTEL](   [Alternate text]( OCTANT FURNAS, SÃO MIGUEL, THE AZORES Another volcanic newcomer, Octant Furnas Boutique Hotel is on a feisty Azorean caldera that’s known to steam and simmer. Fear not, however, for the volcano’s been dormant for centuries – just like you’ll be in the spa’s thermal spring-fed pools (the water’s a balmy 40 degrees and has been used for healing since ancient times). This muscle-soothing circuit is the best way to recover after a day spent hiking in hydrangea-strewn hills, paddleboarding on volcanic lakes or kayaking along the palm-fringed coast.
