What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Pared back rooms in shades of white and wood come with instantly calming Aegean Sea views, and in most cases a private pool.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Agios Fokas beach lies across the coastal road, where natural thermal springs heat tidal pools along the shore.
The rooms
Suites keep to pale wood and stone, and most open onto private plunge pools looking over the gulf.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool looks out across the gulf, and a heated indoor pool opens toward coastal greenery.
The spa
Treatments use botanical oils of lavender and rosemary, and amber Himalayan salt bricks line the relaxation lounge.
The gym
Floor-to-ceiling glass doors fill the fitness room with daylight, set with cardio machines and free weights.
At the table
Thyme cooks Greek dishes with fresh garden herbs, served beneath timber cane ceilings that open straight onto the sea.
How it began
Architects modeled the terraced hillside layout on the ancient Doric Hexapolis settlements that once spanned this coastline.
