The relatively newly opened One&Only Aesthesis on the Greek Riviera is currently one of the most sought-after hotels around Athens. Only recently opened, the hype is huge. As the brand is very well known in the luxury hotel industry, it can be assumed that there's something to it. What's certain is that a Balmain pop-up will set the tone in the pool area this summer. And it also comes with a special edition of the iconic 1945 Cabas handbag.

Design beach clubs everywhere

As is the case with pretty much all the big hotels at the moment, the latest One&Only is also adorning itself with foreign feathers. And treats itself to designer fabrics, specially created sun loungers and pool towels. Balmain brings a touch of French chic to Greece. The specially redesigned pool area now reflects the hotel's characteristic prints. With a little imagination, you can discover the "winding paths of French Renaissance gardens" in them. Also recognizable: the brand's typical labyrinth pattern.

Balmain-style parasols provide shade throughout the summer. Pool towels, sun lounger cushions, floating loungers and cabanas surrounding the pool round off the brand presence. Even in summer, guests are treated to a preview of the fall collection.

Exclusive design for One&Only

The latest designs by head designer Olivier Rusteing can also be found here. With their geometric graphics and Miami Beach pastels, they blend in with the pool design. As the hotel is reminiscent of the architecture of Glyfada in the 1960s and relies on a calm color palette, it's the perfect canvas for the Balmain pop-up.

Balmain also has a highlight on offer for its summer guest appearance. The limited edition handbag Balmain-One&Only 1945 Cabas is a variation of the well-known bag. Named after the year the brand was founded, it's a shopper with lush gold fittings and an unmissable logo. The popular model is available in its summery variation exclusively in the resort's NEO boutique in black or white for € 2,600 each.
