Lesante Cape

Zakynthos, Greece

A refined Ionian estate where aristocratic heritage meets effortless family living

At a glance

Set on the eastern coastline of Zakynthos, Lesante Cape is a five-star resort and Leading Hotel of the World, nestled within rolling olive groves, fruit orchards and vineyards overlooking the Ionian Sea. Inspired by the architecture of a traditional Greek village, the resort is built around a central square of stone pathways, open piazzas and elegant residences that sit in harmony with the surrounding landscape.
