Zélia Halkidiki, a new adults-only luxury resort in Greece, is set to redefine hospitality in the region. Opening under Hyatt’s Destination by Hyatt brand, the resort will offer a combination of relaxation, gourmet dining, and wellness in the heart of the Kassandra Peninsula.
A prime location on the Aegean Coast
The Zélia Halkidiki resort is strategically located on the coastline of the Kassandra Peninsula, just 50 minutes from Thessaloniki International Airport and 25 minutes from Nea Moudania.
The hotel offers 104 guestrooms and 18 suites, and features an architectural design that blends modern luxury with the natural beauty of the area.
At the heart of Zélia Halkidiki’s offerings is a culinary experience led by award-winning Chef Vassili Papatheodorou. Guests can indulge in a variety of dining options, from Mediterranean-inspired dishes at Mesogaea to fresh bites at Zest and Japanese-Peruvian fusion at Shizen. For a more intimate experience, Syntrofi offers a farm-to-table dining option set within a vegetable garden.
Two bars, offering handcrafted cocktails and local wines, will complement the resort’s dining experiences.
“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. 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.” – Peter Norman, SVP Owners Relations EAME at Hyatt
