Nestled on a 72-acre private peninsula in the chic Athenian Riviera with stunning views to the Saronic Gulf, the Grand Resort Lagonissi is a secret celebrity haven which boasts 16 private hotel beaches, eight private beaches and even a picturesque white church brimming with character.
Among the guests who use the quiet Greek getaway as a hideout are Leonardo DiCaprio, J Lo, Shakira and Meryl Streep, who visited with the cast of Mamma Mia while they filmed the hit flick in 2008.
And while it offers everything from affordable single rooms to suites, it's the luxury villas - reportedly costing as much as £10,000 a stay - which boast some of the most astounding views and celebrity services to match.

Visiting celebrities, who have included Kylie Minogue, are rumoured to have held huge parties in the lush garden, and a personal butler, chef and trainer are among the privileges that are provided at the villa.
And it seems the staff will stop at nothing to give their special guests the treatment they are used to.
Speaking to FEMAIL, a source revealed that one mystery guest was so adamant to keep potential prying eyes at sea away from her villa, that they resorted to planting 10 cypress trees on the edge of the terrace in one day for the fortnight-stay.

Staff were forced to quickly remove the huge trees, replanting them in other parts of the resort.
Meanwhile some VIPs have so much luggage, that it has been delivered in two separate trucks the day after the guest arrived.
Elsewhere a romantic VIP guest hired a helicopter to throw rose petals onto his terrace, while he proposed to his girlfriend, while another requested a spa treatment at 3am.
And one particularly selective client asked the concierge to find him a specific pair of Golden Turtle Swim Trunks by designer Vilebrequin.
The high end swimwear boasts 24 carat gold thread, made from a special material known as Piana Clerico gold thread.
However as the only one being sold was in a boutique in Mykonos, a staff member was dispatched to the island to bring the luxury item back to the happy guest - ready for his morning swim.

Speaking about the lavish parties thrown at the resort's top villas, a spokesperson would only say: 'We've had fireworks and pool parties in our cliff-side gardens which have lasted into the early hours of the morning.'
'Usually guests staying at the Royal Villa ask for Greek traditional food, and the restaurant has done barbecues with a whole lamb, or sea food barbeque with lobsters and sushi platters - always accompanied with very traditional Greek salad, pita and olives. This is what travellers come to Greece for in their majority, and guests staying at the resort are not the exception'.
