It was during my honeymoon in Athens and Santorini—years ago now, but vivid as ever—that I first tasted the ineffable magic of Greece.

There’s something in the light, in the stillness of ancient stones and the sway of beachside evenings. And yet, nowhere embodies this magic quite like Amanzoe—a resort so ethereal, it seems less built than summoned.

Perched above the olive-laced hills of the Peloponnese, with the Aegean unfurling in all directions, Amanzoe is the modern Acropolis—elevated, eternal, and wholly sublime. Now reopened for the 2025 season, this sanctuary of scent and silence returns with a curated tapestry of experiences that echo spring’s spirit of renewal. Picture intimate dinners in a private bostani garden beneath olive branches, or languid afternoons island-hopping aboard Amanzoe’s newly enhanced yacht fleet—each moment framed for memory.

World-Leading Wellness, Reimagined

True to the Aman tradition, wellbeing is more than ritual—it is revelation. In 2025, Amanzoe’s acclaimed Spa offers a new pinnacle of pampering: The Ultimate Couple’s Escape. Designed with honeymooners and anniversaries in mind, it blends private access to a heated pool and steam room with a deeply restorative massage and nourishing refreshments. The aim? Not just relaxation—but reconnection.

And for those who seek strength of mind as much as body, Maria Sharapova returns with Building Mental Resilience, a seasonal programme born of her time as Aman Wellness Ambassador. Guests embark on an immersive journey of equilibrium: from Symmetria—a modern homage to Greek calisthenics—to meditative chanting, tennis sessions, and curated cold plunges. The effect is something beyond spa—it is spirited renewal.

Adventures, by Land and Sea

As Greece awakens with springtime warmth, Amanzoe invites guests to do the same—through new guided hikes in the fragrant hills of Ermioni, and cycling routes that flirt with the coastline. For seafarers, the call of the water is met by Amanzoe’s chic fleet—featuring the Princess V50, Pershing 62, and more—ready to whisk guests to Hydra’s artsy harbours or Spetses, where horse-drawn carriages still clip-clop past neoclassical villas.

Each itinerary is as romantic as it is refined, with options for snorkelling, celebratory picnics, or simply losing time in a secluded cove.

Heirloom Holidays for the Next Generation

With architecture by Ed Tuttle, Amanzoe’s villas—ranging from one to nine bedrooms—embody the idea of Grecian seclusion with a contemporary soul. This season sees the unveiling of a new three-bedroom villa, perfect for families who value privacy, indulgence, and moments of togetherness. Think private pools, alfresco feasts prepared by a personal chef, and the gentle hum of cicadas in the garden.

And for the little ones? Amanzoe’s new Family Experience Guide unveils an impressive lineup: botanical workshops in the organic garden, Greek dancing, ceramics, farm visits, child-friendly yoga and even olive oil massages. It's a miniature odyssey designed to inspire environmental consciousness and cultural wonder.

Epicurean Escapes

Gastronomy, as ever, takes centre stage. At Nama, Aman’s ode to Japanese precision and purity, guests and non-residents (by reservation) may now dine for both lunch and dinner. This season also introduces Nama Lounge—a serene poolside perch where Japanese small plates meet signature cocktails, with the Aegean glistening in the distance.

Down by the sea at Nura, Amanzoe’s Mediterranean beach club, a new monthly dining series begins. The inaugural event on 9 August 2025 sees Michelin-starred chef Tom Aikens join forces with Amanzoe’s own in a culinary duet served directly on the sands of Korakia Beach.

For those who prefer their table under the stars, Amanzoe’s organic bostani garden plays host to new private evening feasts, with ingredients hand-picked and prepared on the spot. And for the ultimate romantic finale? An elegant dinner beside Nama’s central pool, illuminated by a constellation of floating candles.

Our Take

Luxury, in its purest form, is not only in what is seen but in what is felt. Amanzoe is not merely a destination—it is a reminder: of love once young, of silence shared, of the eternal Greek sun rising once more. For the gentleman who seeks more than just travel—who seeks transcendence—Amanzoe awaits.
