Heavenly Greece hotel offers Maldives-style luxury villas from just £88 per person

Brits looking for a luxurious holiday can now stay in an overwater villa in Greece from just £88 per person.

The incredible Stella Island Resort has 225 rooms and has been designed to recreate the ocean look of a Maldives resort.

The prestige villas have private decks, with hammocks over clear blue water, and some also have jacuzzis.

Stella Island Resort, which opened in 2017 on the Greek island of Crete, is over a huge pool rather than the sea, which you can jump into from your bedroom.

While the Maldives is an incredible option, many Brits cannot afford a trip, with holidays costing thousands of pounds.

Resorts can cost more than £1,000 per night, without any flights, and other transport.

Like many Maldives resorts, there’s a walkway through the Greek resort (Stella Island Resort)

But a stay at Stella Resort is far cheaper - and Greece is on the 'safe' travel list and just a few hours away, making it a very attractive option.

The overwater villas start from £177 per night, making it a much more affordable stay too.

A three night stay in a luxury room with a pool view, with breakfast included, is on offer from September 27 to 30 for £181 per night.

There is a range of options on offer with holidaymakers able to choose to have a private pool, or hot tub.

Each overwater bungalow has a hammock, and a private deck with access to the tranquil swimming pool, and a screen for privacy between villas.

The incredible Grand Overwater Bungalows are even more luxurious, with hammocks over the water and private jacuzzis.

Prices start from £177 a night, but you can go all-inclusive from £200 with guests able to dine at four different restaurants.
