"A present-day Acropolis in a picture-perfect landscape, the wellness-focused AMANZOE boasts temple-like villas, an ethereal spa and an enchanting array of dining options."

Perched on the Argolic Gulf, the resort town of Porto Heli is a little slice of Grecian paradise. Often considered the Riviera of the Peloponnese, the region feels tailor-made for posh getaways. And luxury is exactly what you’ll find there, perhaps at the oh-so-exclusive Amanzoe resort most of all. A helicopter ride from Athens will whisk you away to this hilltop haven, dropping you into a present-day Acropolis. The beauty of the fairy-tale resort is exceeded only by that of its stunning surroundings; a picture-perfect landscape of rambling olive groves, sprawling sea and crystal blue sky.

AMANZOE is first and foremost a wellness-focused resort; as such, the entire place is drenched in a spa-like ambience. You can opt for a stay in a Pavillion, Cabana or Villa – streamlined Pavilions draw on the aesthetics of Ancient Greece to create fabulously spacious interiors that are high-ceilinged visions of cream and beige. The use of natural material predominates throughout (think gorgeous stone, marble and wood), and each Pavilion has an outdoor terrace with a private plunge pool and lovely views. Beach Cabanas are essentially Pavilions plunked smack on the sand with the added perks of larger outdoor spaces and pools. Palatial Villas are in a league of their own; temple-like and decadent, the spaces feature gorgeous artwork and can have as many as nine bedrooms serviced by a private chef and host.

Whether or not you have a private chef, you’ll have an enchanting array of dining options to choose from. Have a slice of wood-fired pizza at the Beach Club during the day before an upscale dinner of fine Japanese cuisine at Nama. Seafood, unsurprisingly, plays a starring role in the resort’s gastronomy, all of which is spectacularly fresh. In the evenings, opt for a drink at the bar or by the outdoor fireplace – do be sure to try one of the resort’s 12 Olympian God-inspired cocktails.

If you’re keen on making your holiday at AMANZOE one of rejuvenation and restoration, you’ll want to converse with the resort’s Wellness Concierge before your arrival. With their guidance, you’ll be able to customize your days for the most bespoke experience imaginable. Within a sprawling, ethereal spa you’ll have everything you need to find your bliss: a Watsu Aquatic Therapy pool, yoga pavilion, fitness centre and nine treatment rooms – both indoors and out –to help you unwind, heal and renew.
