There will be a Mediterranean fusion restaurant and beach bar serving locally sourced ingredients as well as detox juices and vegan protein shakes. Menus will be planned as part of a holistic well-being program – chef, gardener and naturopath working together.

Sunset wine bar, showcasing the very best Greek wines. Guests will be invited to join a cooking, painting or pottery lesson, and they can book an island hopping tour, rent their own boat or spend the day lounging at the water’s edge.

The first phase, an adults only development, is set over 75 acres, an exclusive enclave offering a collection of opulent tented accommodation along with recreational areas overlooking the jewel blue sea.

Green architecture design and construction provides a low environmental impact. There is an application of sustainable power generation and water conservation. Using eco cleaning products in both the kitchen and housekeeping services and organic natural in-room amenities as well as reef safe sunscreen at every lounger, make the resort very sustainable. This includes a Farm to Table food operation growing as much “home grown” produce as possible;

Believe Hotel Group are in discussions with one of the major five global hotel groups, who share the same ethos when it comes to conservation, social responsibility and sustainable operations.

The philosophy starts with….There is No Planet B! So let’s look after the one we have, without sacrificing the luxury and tranquility today’s traveller looks for.

Blossoming from Ancient Greek culture, restorative experiences are tailored to the needs of our guests caring for their holistic well-being, inspired by the traditional belief that positive health is intertwined in one’s physical and social environments.

Bathe in pools set amongst olive groves, be pampered with mineral wraps and organic lotions, energise your body with the gentle movement of yoga or tai chi while relishing the goodness of wholesome produce; a truly immersive in nature experience reconnecting one to their inner sense of being.
