All the properties are interconnected, so while you might sleep at one, you may have lunch at another, or use the spa in a third.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Trails wind through coastal wetlands and fragrant pine forests stretching across the secluded Kassandra peninsula.
The rooms
Options range from hillside bungalows among olive groves at Sani Club to secluded beachfront suites at Sani Asterias.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated lagoon-style pools wind between manicured gardens and guest villas, leading toward the sandy Aegean shoreline.
The spas
Thermal suites have heated tiled loungers and saunas alongside private rooms for Anne Semonin Paris treatments.
Sports and yoga
A dedicated football pitch borders the pine forest, and timber decks host open-air yoga overlooking the sea.
At the table
Terraces shaded by bougainvillea look straight across the Aegean, serving regional dishes from more than twenty-five dining spots.
How it began
The Andreadis family began developing this private ecological reserve on Cape Sani during the early 1970s.
