Resembling a Greek temple, with breathtaking views of the Argolikos Gulf, the now iconic resort rests on the east coast of the Peloponnese. The 360-degree view falls on rolling olive groves and fragrant lavender fields. The azure sea seems almost within reach. Just a stone's throw away: legendary sites such as Olympia and Mycenae, and of course beautiful beaches and small coastal towns. No wonder, then, that the luxury hotel group chose this place for its first European property.

Culinary Celebrations

And now, ten years later, the hotel is one of the best establishments in Greece. That calls for a proper celebration. The festivities to mark the hotel's tenth anniversary include a Decennary Dinner. Five authentic local dishes, paired with five local wines, are on the menu.

Guests feast on shrimp giouvetsi with black orzo pasta and Greek burrata with cold tomato soup, toasted pine nuts and honey olives, among other dishes. The atmospheric ambiance accentuates the delicacies. You can dine overlooking the sea at the restaurant, at the resort's amphitheater, or at your own villa.

New Spa Journey

The anniversary offer is complemented by a new 90-minute spa treatment journey. Ten different herbs from the spa's own garden are used. Kaliopsa, named after the Greek word for stunning beauty, begins with a rose essential oil inhalation, followed by a gentle body scrub and a fragrant hot bath. The final treatment is a body cream wrap.

New pranayama (breath work) and meditation sessions for even deeper relaxation are also on the program. These take place at sunrise at the open-air amphitheater, on the beach or by the pool. These "Moments of Reflection" provide inner peace and reorientation. Of course, guests can also take advantage of tried-and-true treatments such as hammams, steam baths, watsu and co.

The Essence of Amanzoe

For guests who arrive after September 10, 2022 and stay for more than three nights, the hotel has put together a special offer. In addition to breakfast, they will also receive dinner for two, an accommodation upgrade and late check-out until 4 p.m.

This leaves plenty of time to not only enjoy Ed Tuttle's thoughtful architecture, but to get to know the soul of ancient Greece as well.
