The helicopter flight from Athens to Amanzoe creates a swift segue into an altogether wilder Greece - a place of pure nature, where time stands still. Scattered with UNESCO ruins, the undiscovered Peloponnese has been at the heart of Greek culture for millennia - and it is here that Amanzoe has made its hilltop home.
From Nama’s Japanese cuisine to the Restaurant’s Mediterranean fare, Amanzoe places the focus on simple flavours, expertly prepared. Daily deliveries of local bass, bream, grouper and crustacean, as well as locally reared lamb, pork and rabbit, make Amanzoe a champion of produce that is local and seasonal – all served in the airy Restaurant, with its deep-blue sea views, by the pool, at the informal Beach Club, or surrounded by candles in private. Restaurants are open to both guests and non-residents.
The private beach and beach club are set below Amanzoe (adjacent to Korakia beach) on a sheltered bay. Complimentary transfers take guests down to the Aegean, where non-motorised watersports can be enjoyed. The serene beach club is home to four swimming pools and overnight Cabanas, as well as a casual eatery and two-room spa. There you can find equipment for windsurfing, kayaking and snorkeling as well as sailing options (Twixxy Boat, Hobbie Cat 15 and Fun Boat).
Surrounded by Greek islands and uninhabited islets, the Peloponnese peninsula is ideal forday trips and cruises onboard one of Amanzoe’swatercrafts. Sail and swim in secluded coves, or visit the cosmopolitan island of Spetses, known for its seafaring traditions and Venetian and neoclassical architecture. The car-free island of Hydra is also within easy reach. Spend the day wandering between isles, harbours and isolated coves before joining Porto Heli’s vibrant nightlife scene or navigating back to the luxury resort for dinner.
The holistic healings of Hippocrates are the inspiration for Amanzoe’s light-filled 2,850-square-metre Spa, combining diet, gymnastics, exercise, massage and sea bathing with modern natural products and treatments. A gym is also available, and studios host yoga and Pilates sessions
From junior yoga sessions to specially crafted children’s menus, Amanzoe’s attention to detail extends to the whole family. Cruising the Aegean and exploring the nearby ancient Greek ruins are well suited for family groups, while children can enjoy additional activities, including tennis lessons and Watsu therapy, under the supervision of specially trained staff. An enthusiastic children's host coordinates daily activities during the summer months and Amanzoe’s youngest guests can enjoy the toddler’s pool at the resort and both the toddler’s and children’s pools at the beach club.
Amanzoe's rich selection of accommodation options includes standalone pavillions opening into terraces, air-conditioned beach cabanas and spacious private villas.
Drawing on classic Greek architecture, with strong lines and a pared-back aesthetic, Amanzoe’s standalone luxury Pavilions all open onto terraces with private plunge pools and views of the surrounding land and sea. Each Pavilion is accessed via a stone-walled courtyard, leading to a high-ceilinged living area and king-size bed positioned in a marble alcove with views over the Porto Heli vista.
Situated directly on the beach, the spacious air-conditioned Beach Cabana provide all the comforts of a Pavilion, combined with an expansive terrace and swimming pool. Guests can enjoy a day on the beach, swimming in the sea, discovering bays by canoe and sunbathing in privacy. Meals can be enjoyed at Amanzoe’s Beach Club restaurant or in the privacy of a Beach Cabana. Gym and spa treatment rooms are also available.
Amanzoe’s luxury Villas are cool, spacious abodes surrounded by olive groves. Overlooking the Aegean Sea, each of the one-to-nine-bedroom Greek Villas features an open terrace with sand-coloured marble floors, traditional dry stone-clad walls and concrete columns and cornices. A chef and a host serves each one.
Villas can range from 1 to 6 bedrooms to accomodate your party. The spectacular Villa 20, a six-level retreat with nine bedrooms, six swimming pools and various exclusive amenities, is the perfect choice for groups of friends and families alike.
