Editor's note
The Blue Palace offers a truly exclusive experience with its numerous private heated pools attached to suites and bungalows, many boasting stunning sea views. While there isn't strong evidence for communal pools, the emphasis on private pools suggests a focus on intimate relaxation. The private pools are a definite highlight for guests seeking privacy and luxury.
