Mandola Rosa, Grecotel Exclusive Resort

Standing on a low, naturally fortified mound at the edge of a sandy beach, this boutique hotel evokes the glamour and grace of the Mediterranean seaside resorts of 1920s Europe.

Inspired by Belle Époque design, pink and white accents are found throughout Mandola Rosa; a subtle complement to the flowering almond trees at nearby Olympia, which inspired the hotel’s name. These suites and villas offer an intimate world of elegance, warmth and sophistication. The reception area and main lounge spill onto a broad terrace overlooking the seawater infinity pool. Spoil yourself with an open-air massage on the temple porch at the 4,500 m² Elixir Thalassotherapy Centre. There is a full range of treatments and elegant facilities available, including the thalasso pool, more splendid and luxurious than the grandest Roman thermae.

Nothing at the resort has been left to chance, from the stately palms and fragrant jasmine framing the main swimming pool to the cool bed linens made from the finest cotton. The service is as refined, with the same attention to detail and complete respect for privacy.

An aqua paradise awaits guests of all ages with a choice of 4 pools. The main pool cascades to the beach, creating a waterfall effect as a backdrop to the tavern floor. There are also 2 beach pools with an exotic landscape, as well as an imaginative paddling pool.

The entertainment team offers a variety of activities from morning gym, aerobics and games to evening shows from the rich tradition of the area. Guests of all skill levels can enjoy horse riding in the shaded woodlands 800 metres from the main hotel, and the Hercules Sports Campus offers a range of activities.

High ceilings and terraces with arched porticoes recall the grandeur of 18th century Europe. Antiques, original art, raw silk upholstery, and hand-crafted furniture enhance the homely feeling.

In addition to the listed amenities, all rooms have a balcony or terrace with sea view and a mini hi-fi system. A minibar is available on request (at an additional cost).
