Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced the opening of Zélia Halkidiki, an adults-only resort created to provide guests an authentic Greek experience, and the first Destination by Hyatt branded property in Greece.

Located in the region of northern Greece known for its crystal-clear waters, pine-fringed beaches and laid-back atmosphere, Zélia Halkidiki is designed for guests looking unwind.

Nestled on a hillside surrounded by olive groves and near several local attractions including, Nea Moudania, the coastal destination is known for its fresh seafood, beautiful beaches, and Afytos Village, a small seaside village characterized by its traditional stone houses, cobblestone streets and panoramic vistas of the Toroneos Gulf.

Peter Norman, SVP Owners Relations EAME at Hyatt said in a statement, “We are thrilled to welcome this exceptional hotel into our growing European portfolio, which perfectly reflects the essence of the Destination by Hyatt brand through its celebration of the unique spirit of Greece and its breathtaking natural surroundings.”

He added, “The opening represents a significant milestone in our strategic expansion in Europe, reinforcing our commitment to offering authentic, immersive experiences in the destinations that resonate most with our guests.”

The hotel offers 104 guestrooms and suites using natural materials inspired by the area’s natural beauty, combining a blend of contemporary minimalism with sweeping ocean views.

Curated dining experiences showcase quality ingredients and diverse culinary traditions covering Mediterranean, Japanese and Peruvian fusion cuisine, farm-to-table dining inspired by the hotel’s vegetable garden and in-season produce along with a poolside restaurant serving authentic Greek cuisine.

Tranquil wellness facilities include a heated indoor pool, jetted bathtub, soaking sensory showers and tranquil treatment rooms along with a relaxing Hebe infinity pool and energetic Zest pool. Guests can participate in daily yoga and Pilates sessions along with weekly cinema under the stars, held in the hotel’s olive grove.

“Zélia Halkidiki has been carefully curated to reflect the essence of Greek culture, and I am delighted to be welcoming guests to our first Destination by Hyatt branded hotel in the region,” said Giorgos Peroutseas, General Manager, Zélia Halkidiki. “Every detail of the hotel has been designed to offer guests an authentic, elevated experience rooted in place and purpose and it is the ideal retreat for those seeking to unwind and reconnect.”

Anais Karagianni of Zelos Capital Partners, owners of Zélia Halkidiki added, “We are thrilled that the hotel will join the Destination by Hyatt brand, known for its exceptional service and unique destinations. We strive to offer an unforgettable experience, offering guests a truly enjoyable stay in one of Greece’s most beautiful locations.”
