Joining the party is the highly anticipated Ace Hotel & Swim Club Athens. This newcomer brings the brand’s signature playful charm to the Athenian Riviera. The French design firm ciguë masterfully blends Greek modernism with laid-back poolside vibes, and guests should expect a vibrant mix of eras and influences – think vintage finds alongside custom-made bedspreads, and the addition of acoustic guitars and record plays in the guest rooms. The ground floor seamlessly transitions from the lobby to the expansive pool and dining area. This us one not to miss.

Perched on the dramatic cliffs of Tinos, Odera Tinos takes inspiration from the island’s rich religious heritage. Studio Bonarchi, the design team, pays homage to the Cycladic monasteries, featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed stone walls and a calming, neutral colour scheme. Yet, a touch of contemporary luxury is woven in through designer furniture, statement lighting and curated artwork that celebrates local artisans.
