Travel & Tourism Awards 2020

Page 74 www.lux-review.com LUX Travel and Tourism Awards 2020 Both the Greek mainland and its islands house some of the most luxurious properties across the whole world. However, one of the most untouched, undiscovered, and underdeveloped areas is the Peloponnese region, a glorious peninsula in the south of Greece’s mainland. A sanctuary of serenity, the Peloponnese region is the perfect place for travellers looking to escape the tedium of everyday business life, and instead experience total and complete relaxation. With rugged mountains, stunning beaches, and equally splendid ocean views, this region functions as the most ideal location for Bansala. Each of the five villas provides their own exceptional views of the surrounding land and seascape, complemented by a range of comfortable outdoor areas from which to enjoy them. With a generous infinity pool, sunny and shaded areas, a honesty-operated pool bar, and a wealth of onsite private parking, this is an adult’s dream destination away from the stresses of modern life. Each garden is green beyond comparison, bursting with life at every turn. The olive groves spring to life in the noonday sunshine, as the birds chirp cheerfully in the trees. Together with the traditional white of Greek architecture and the clear blue of the pool, every colour serves a purpose at Bansala. This is natural luxury, refined into a veritable Garden of Eden. Beach access is but a stone’s throw away. Guests can venture through an adjacent olive grove to emerge onto a secluded bay that is all Nestled amongst the shimmering Peloponnese olive groves and stunning sea views of the Messenian Gulf, Bansala Villas & Pool Bar is a small, exclusively-adult development of five individual villas that each boast the utmost in Greek luxury.

A short stroll further reveals another three beaches that are both serviced and non-serviced, depending on your preference. Alongside the beaches are various restaurants, offering a smorgasbord of delicious, authentic, and freshly-prepared Greek and European cuisine that can be delivered directly to your beach lounger. There are few better feelings that sitting with the ocean just a few feet away, whilst enjoying the lip-smacking refreshment that comes from a sundowner. Nothing is too much for the team at Bansala. Despite it being primarily a self-catering resort, there is always a friendly, helpful owner on hand to help. Every guest is welcomed with a fridge fully stocked with complimentary water, wine, sodas, homemade dips, fresh fruits, and breads, so that guests have time to relax and unwind before thinking about a trip to the supermarket. The team at Bansala strike a fine balance, and strike it well. Their service is not obtrusive or overbearing, but nor is it too hands-off. It ensures just the right amount of contact, without ever impeding on the outstanding sense of private luxury the surroundings create. Always keen to discuss requirements, locations, restaurants, ideas, travel tips, and more, the real service lies in letting the magic and splendour of the Peloponnese speak for itself by generating a peaceful and memorable experience. Exemplifying the warmth of Greek culture and the luxury of its high-class lifestyle, Bansala is the perfect place to experience Greece in the most relaxing, rejuvenating, and revitalising way imaginable.
