History & Story
Discover an untold world of nostalgia and mid-century glamour at One&Only Aesthesis, a captivating coastal hideaway that harks back to the golden days of the Athenian Riviera. Breathing new life into the effortless sophistication of a bygone era, the resort offers locals and international travellers a chance to experience the magic of Athens.
With the vibrant cosmopolitan buzz of the ’60s and ’70s glimmering in the summer air, the Athenian Riviera whispers of the past. Carved out of native stone and seamlessly fusing indoor and outdoor spaces, the resort’s beachfront bungalows capture the convivial spirit of the Hollywood Grecian era. This coastal-chic aesthetic elicits far more than memories alone – for many Greeks, it will transcend time and transport them to the paradise of their youth. Overlooking the sapphire waters of the Saronic Gulf, this fabled land is framed by fragrant lavender fields, majestic forests and striking oleanders, evoking the feeling of a private island,
right in the beating heart of Greece.
Set within 21 hectares of protected forest reserve, One&Only Aesthesis is just a short drive from the ancient wonders of the Greek capital, an unrivalled location where timeless antiquities and modern comfort combine in a heady celebration of life. For here is a place where you can truly be at ease. Whether that’s trail running through the forest, enjoying revitalising treatments at our world-renowned Guerlain Spa, or savouring a glass of crisp white wine and freshly grilled seafood as the sun dips below the sea.
