Designed for couples all the way through to large groups, ingenious layouts make the very most of indoor and outdoor spaces, providing ultimate island living. Complete with a series of contemporary services and amenities, all of the accommodations at Domes Aulūs Zante have been designed to make your vacation well and truly unforgettable.

Domes Aulūs Zante takes the notion of gastronomy very seriously indeed, offering guests the opportunity to not only explore a range of classic to trending fine-dining experiences, but also to also discover the origins of the various cuisines and the wines that have been chosen to accompany them.

Offering all-Inclusive or inclusive dinearound meal plans with non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverages, Domes Aulūs Zante’s four onsite restaurants include the Monachus Restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, the Caretta Beach Restaurant for eclectic snacks and beverages on the beach, the award-winning Meze Restaurant based on the “mezedopolia”- the traditional food markets found in the northern city of Thessaloniki, as well as the Lianolia Restaurant, offering international cuisine, a refined ambiance and impeccable service right on the beachfront. Just steps from the beach, don’t miss our street food Canteen; a laidback buffer zone for mingling with other guests, with a dedicated mixology kiosk and gourmet food truck set up every night of the week.

THE CULINARY EXPERIENCE
For Domes Resorts, gastronomy is key – and our Portuguese property was bound to embrace our foodie ethos. Endlessly creative and deeply passionate, our chefs know how to select only the highest quality of ingredients and transform them into endlessly enjoyable dishes. Four restaurants, two bars, an amazing wine list and a private dining menu comprise the offering. Inspired by the ancient Roman love for exceptional food, Gustatio Restaurant delivers fantastic feasts in the form of stunning breakfasts, wonderful mains and delicious desserts. Against a striking verdant backdrop, the elegance of flavor combinations at Topos is difficult to forget: New Greek seafood by Executive chef Dionysios Pliatsikas and Chef Vitor Moreira celebrates the summer like no other, while pairings with exceptional wine take your breath away. Haute cuisine is served lakeside, on floating platforms under the evening sky – a truly magical ambiance: Makris on the lake is the culinary playground of award-winning chef Petros Dimas, whose degustation menus mesmerize the taste buds with dishes inspired by the Mediterranean and made up of fresh, organic ingredients. The menu changes frequently, according to what is in season and the best local produce at the farmers’ market. As for the wine? Expertly paired, with prestigious wineries and rare labels alike. Right in front of the resort, the new spectacular culinary project of SORA Beach offers a sophisticated and contemporary take on Algarvian cuisine staying true to traditional flavors and products.
