SANI ASTERIAS
History & Story
Sani Resort grew from the dream of two visionary men, who purchased the land in the late 1960s. They were captivated by the kilometers of sandy beaches, azure waters of the Aegean Sea and the natural forest and ecological reserve. They had the vision and foresight to create a beautiful resort that would attract people from all over the world to experience the wonder of this magical place. They believed in the beauty of Sani and could see the potential of this land, previously owned by monks from Mount Athos.
Sani Resort prides itself on being luxurious, spacious, contemporary, with remarkable attention to detail and courteous, personalized service. The cuisine is unrivalled, with a remarkable choice of award-winning restaurants taking guests on a culinary journey around the world.
Within its five hotels — Sani Beach (lavish and vibrant), Sani Club (discreet and refined), Porto Sani (family and relaxed), Sani Dunes (private and stylish) and Sani Asterias (exclusive and intimate) — guests can explore forests, enjoy seven magnificent beaches, revitalize at world-class spas, take part in academies such as the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy or Chelsea FC Academy, and enjoy a wealth of activities and entertainment.
