Picture this: A sun-drenched stretch of private coastline. Pine forests releasing their intoxicating scent. Lavender fields swaying in the Mediterranean breeze. Azure waters lapping against golden sand. And you, cocooned in a world that feels like a lost chapter from the golden age of Greek glamour-yet thoroughly, luxuriously modern.

Welcome to One&Only Aesthesis, the Athenian Riviera's most enchanting new address.

A Return to Riviera Romance

Nestled within 21 hectares of protected beachfront estate in Glyfada, One&Only Aesthesis isn't just another luxury resort-it's a love letter to the cosmopolitan buzz of Greece's 1960s and '70s heyday, when Hollywood stars and European royalty descended upon this very coastline for endless summer.

Opened in October 2023 as One&Only's debut Greek property, Aesthesis (meaning "sensation" in Greek) captures that nostalgic glamour while delivering ultra-contemporary luxury. Just 25 minutes from Athens city center and ancient wonders, yet feeling worlds away on its own private peninsula.

This is where timeless sophistication meets barefoot elegance. Where you can explore the Acropolis by morning and dip your toes in your private pool by afternoon. Where every detail whispers understated luxury.

Accommodations: Mid-Century Magic

One&Only Aesthesis offers 127 meticulously designed accommodations, each channeling the era's iconic style through contemporary lenses. Think high ceilings, sleek surfaces, woven leather details, natural stone, and those soothing neutral palettes that make the Aegean blues pop even more brilliantly.

Aesthesis Rooms: Light-flooded sanctuaries with freestanding soaking tubs, furnished private terraces, and choices between garden serenity or sea views. The ultimate in refined simplicity.

Private Beach & Garden Bungalows: The jewels of the property. Each features a private pool, expansive outdoor living spaces with modern fireplaces, and interiors that seamlessly blend indoors and out. Seafront bungalows offer direct Aegean vistas-wake to waves, sleep to starlight.

Epos & Topos Suites: Two- or three-bedroom sanctuaries perfect for families or groups seeking space, privacy, and that effortless connection the Aegean inspires. Shimmering private pools, indoor-outdoor flow, and garden or sea panoramas.

Signature Villas: The pinnacle of resort living. Multiple bedrooms, chef's kitchens, private pools, lush gardens, and seclusion that makes you forget you're at a resort. Ideal for entertaining, gathering, creating memories.

One&Only Private Homes: An exclusive community of 14 coastal residences offering ownership with full resort access and global One&Only network privileges. The ultimate Greek dream.

Culinary Excellence: Where Michelin Meets Mediterranean

One&Only Aesthesis elevates Greek dining to art form, showcasing thousands of years of culinary heritage through contemporary vision and locally sourced ingredients that taste of sun, sea, and soil.

Ora by Ettore Botrini: The heart and soul of the resort's culinary program. Led by acclaimed chef Ettore Botrini, Ora (meaning "time" in Greek) celebrates fresh Mediterranean flavors with playful creativity. Think Greco-Italian fusion executed with Michelin precision-because Botrini brings that pedigree. Alfresco dining connects you to nature, tradition, and that ineffable sense of place.

Manko: Where Nikkei cuisine meets Aegean elegance. This unique concept brings Japanese-Peruvian flavors to the Greek coast in a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere. The sunset backdrop doesn't hurt either.

Paco Morales Collaboration: The resort partners with this renowned Spanish chef for special culinary events and seasonal menus that push Mediterranean boundaries.

Three Signature Bars: From Alelia's herb-infused cocktails tucked between olive groves to sunset sessions overlooking the Saronic Gulf, the bars here understand that luxury is as much about atmosphere as ingredients. Locally-inspired libations featuring Greek spirits, fresh herbs, and creative flair.

The First Guerlain Spa in Greece

Wellness here isn't an afterthought-it's a philosophy. The resort's Guerlain Spa marks the legendary French maison's Greek debut, bringing personalized treatments and exclusive protocols to the Aegean.

Expect bespoke wellness programs tailored to individual needs, signature treatments available nowhere else, beauty services at the dedicated studio (including Bastien Gonzalez nails and professional hair/makeup), and even a Bee School by Guerlain for young VIPs.

The spa philosophy emphasizes natural Greek botanicals, ancient healing wisdom, and contemporary techniques-a fusion as harmonious as the resort itself.

Beach Club Bliss & Beyond

Your private beach awaits-pristine sand, crystalline waters, attentive service delivering chilled towels and refreshing cocktails exactly when you need them. Beach cabanas offer shaded sanctuary, while water sports equipment invites adventure.

The resort's multiple pools cater to every mood: the family pool for splashing joy, the adults-only infinity edge for serene contemplation, the KidsOnly pool where young ones reign supreme. Poolside, that iconic Greek Key pattern graces umbrellas and even the pool bottom—visual poetry celebrating Grecian heritage.

But One&Only Aesthesis understands luxury means choice. Daily Pardo Yacht excursions explore hidden coves and neighboring islands. Forest foraging experiences in the on-property Drymos protected reserve connect you to the land. Guided signature tours visit artisan workshops in Athens-imagine meeting a master sandal maker who still practices ancient techniques.

Family Paradise

Parents, exhale. One&Only Aesthesis masters the art of multi-generational luxury.

KidsOnly Club (ages 4-11): Often cited by guests as the best they've encountered globally. Thoughtfully designed activities, educational programs, and enough entertainment to keep young minds engaged while parents indulge in spa treatments or sunset cocktails.

Tribe (ages 12-17): Because teenagers deserve their own sanctuary. Tennis courts, 5km of cycling and running trails through Glyfada's protected forest, and curated experiences that respect their independence.

Family Amenities: Interconnecting rooms, family cabanas at the pool, welcome amenities for all ages, and staff who genuinely understand family dynamics. Guests consistently praise how the resort makes everyone-from infants to grandparents-feel welcomed, valued, cherished.

Experiences That Transform

One&Only Aesthesis curates moments that transcend typical resort activities:

Ancient Wonders Access: The concierge arranges privileged access to Athens' archaeological treasures-private Acropolis tours at sunrise, after-hours museum viewings, expert-guided explorations of sites tourists never see.

Artisan Encounters: Meet craftspeople keeping ancient traditions alive. Visit the sandal artist's workshop. Discover contemporary Greek designers. Connect with the culture beyond guidebook clichés.

Yacht Adventures: Explore the Saronic Gulf's hidden gems aboard luxury vessels. Swim in secluded coves. Lunch at waterfront tavernas accessible only by boat. Understand why Greeks have always been people of the sea.

Forest Immersion: Guided foraging in the protected forest reserve. Learn about Mediterranean botanicals. Understand the ecosystem. Collect ingredients for evening cocktails.

Wellness Journeys: Customize multi-day programs combining spa treatments, fitness classes, yoga sessions, and nutritional guidance. Leave transformed, not just rested.

The Aesthesis Difference

What elevates One&Only Aesthesis beyond mere luxury? It's the details. The WhatsApp concierge ensuring seamless communication. The staff remembering your name and preferences. The way they anticipated your six-month-old's needs before you realized them yourself. The genuine warmth infusing every interaction.

Guest reviews consistently praise not just the stunning design or pristine facilities-though those earn raves-but the people. The team creating hospitality that feels personal rather than polished, genuine rather than scripted, intuitive rather than intrusive.

This is service elevated to art form. This is what true luxury feels like when executed with Greek filoxenia-that legendary hospitality bred into the culture for millennia.
