Domes Zeen – Family Villa with Pool

For parents who dream of lazy days at super-stylish beach clubs but can’t find the will or justification to leave their minis behind, this family-friendly escape seriously hits the spot.

Designed by the architects behind the very hip Scorpios Beach Club, and sharing the same barefoot luxury aesthetic and DJ curated soundtrack, Domes Zeen certainly ticks the boutique hotel box but is dedicated to families too. Little ones from babies to teens will enjoy it just as much as their parents.

There’s no cringey early evening mini disco here but instead, junior guests are treated to nightly movies in a magical Bedouin-style tent, which is also hosts sleepover parties for excitable junior guests once or twice a week. All are supervised by staff from the kids club and crèche, which is unlike any other we’ve seen thanks to its emphasis on learning from nature and creativity.

The beach club restaurant is open all-day and offers a wide menu focusing on fresh local produce and international favourites. Healthy options and indulgent meals are given equal focus with a kids menu that spans the range from vegan poke bowls to chicken tenders and fries, as well as a breakfast porridge bar with pick and mix toppings that is always a firm favourite. For 'date night' meals, the adults-only 'Enino Gastronomy Restaurant' offers a very sophisticated tasting menu with wines matched to each course. Those on half-board packages will receive a €15 per adult/€7 per child credit when dining here.

For the littlest of guests, a comprehensive list of baby and toddler kit is available on loan and pre-bookable babysitting. So, even parents of those too little or too shy for movie nights or kids clubs can still enjoy a romantic dinner, spa session, sightseeing afternoon or simply cocktails and conversation.

The range of rooms, suites and villas on offer is well suited to families of all ages. New parents or those with just the one child can enjoy garden or sea view doubles or junior suites; whilst larger families can opt for one-bedroom suites with separate lounges that can sleep four, or two bedroom villas with extra living and outside space. Larger families or groups, can select adjoining family suites or villas.

All accommodation options boast complimentary Wi-Fi, SAT-TV, Nespresso machines, luxury bathrobes and retractable glass walls which open onto outdoor living spaces – ideal for evening drinks whilst mini guests sleep. Other than entry-level doubles, all room types benefit from either private pools or pools shared with just one neighbouring suite, as well as access to the communal pools and beach club.

The larger, private pool suites and villas come with ‘Haute Living’ extras in the form of complimentary half-board, one 3-course evening meal at the a la carte restaurant, daily mini bar restock, a pillow menu, dedicated check-in, and access to a 24/7 concierge service.
