Accommodation
Amanzoe, surrounded by undulating olive groves and overlooking the turquoise Aegean Sea, is a ten-minute drive from the tavernas and cosmopolitan stirrings of Porto Heli, Greece. The isles of Spetses and Hydra are nearby, as are countless ancient ruins, from millennia-old amphitheatres to Byzantine monasteries.
Two 20-metre seaside pools at the Beach Club complement the main pool, while swimming is possible in the secluded bay that fringes the resort’s beach, where non-motorised watersports can be enjoyed.
With a lofty, open-air setting overlooking a hilltop towards the Argo-Saronic Gulf, the Amphitheatre hosts professional performances on balmy summer evenings, from theatrical productions to jazz.
Drawing on classic Greek architecture, with strong lines and a pared-back aesthetic, Amanzoe’s standalone luxury Pavilions all open onto terraces with private plunge pools and views of the surrounding land and sea. Each Pavilion is accessed via a stone-walled courtyard, leading to a high-ceilinged living area and king-size bed positioned in a marble alcove with views over the Porto Heli vista.
