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
Wellness and relaxation at the heart of the concept
The Zélia Amazonia Spa offers a space dedicated to relaxation, with a heated indoor pool, sauna, and a variety of personalized treatments. For those looking to maintain their fitness while away, the resort features a fitness hub with Pilates reformers and Technogym equipment.
The resort’s two outdoor pools and beach access via a short coastal path further enhance the experience.
“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,” “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.” – Giorgos Peroutseas, General Manager, Zélia Halkidiki.
Zélia Halkidiki caters to active guests as well, with curated hiking routes to the Petralona Cave and picturesque wetlands. E-bike tours through sand dunes and coastal forests provide unique ways to explore the region. For those interested in water sports, kayaking adventures are available.
“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”,- Anais Karagianni of Zelos Capital Partners, owners of Zelia Halkidiki.
The resort promises to be a sanctuary for couples and discerning travelers looking for serenity. With its emphasis on authentic experiences and personalized services, it is well-positioned to attract wealthy travelers looking to explore Greece’s rich cultural heritage. A second Destination by Hyatt hotel will open its doors next year in Paros, strengthening Hyatt’s presence within the region.
