Hotel Kompas claims one of Lapad Bay’s prime positions, right on the seafront promenade with only the pedestrian walkway between you and Sunset Beach.

Lapad’s peaceful, pebbly beaches, olive and cypress trees and relaxed waterfront contrast beautifully with the drama of the Old Town’s terracotta rooftops.

Dining at Hotel Kompas is as easygoing as the Lapad lifestyle. The main Sphere Restaurant serves a mix of buffet and à la carte international cuisine for breakfast and dinner, often with terrace seating so you can start and end the day with a sea breeze.

• Zenith Bar – a chic snack bar and social hub, usually open from morning until midnight with local, international and premium drinks.

The hotel’s outdoor freshwater pool is a real showpiece: a sleek rectangle perched above the Lapad promenade with views over the bay.
