What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
space is more plentiful here, which allows Danai Beach’s rooms, suites, and villas to spread out to exceedingly comfortable dimensions.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Hidden along Sithonia's rugged coastline, the estate offers easy access to pine-fringed coves and private yacht charters toward Mount Athos.
The rooms
Marble bathrooms, original artworks, and expansive sea-facing terraces anchor the suites, with heated infinity pools in select villas.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
White parasols shade the main swimming pool above the Aegean, where staff bring cold drinks directly to the loungers.
The spa and gym
A circular mosaic steam room surrounds a stone fountain, set beside private massage suites and a wood-floored gym.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Dining stretches from beachfront grilled seafood at Anithos to tasting menus served under two-century-old pine trees at Andromeda.
How it began
Founded in 1976 as a family holiday home, the retreat has expanded across three generations under the Riefenstahl family.
