International hotel collection Brown Hotels has announced the opening of two new properties from its new four-star line of resorts: Brown Beach Eretria and Brown Beach Chalkida. The new ‘Brown Beach’ branded resorts are the first to launch under the new sub-brand. Here’s what we know…
Known for its quirky, design-driven collection of boutique urban properties, Brown Hotels expanded into beach-side offerings earlier this summer with the launch of its inaugural resort, Isla Brown Corinthia. Brown Beach Eretria and Brown Beach Chalkida introduce a hospitality concept new to the group, presenting four-star, beach-front resorts both complete with swimming pools, a bar and restaurant, wellness centre, spa and events space. Located on the increasingly popular Evia Island, just a one hour drive from Athens, the new Brown Beach resorts present the perfect getaway for international travellers and local Athenians alike, with Brown Beach Eretria providing additional leisure facilities and on-site entertainment, operating as the first all-inclusive resort by Brown Hotels.

“Evia island is one of the largest and closest islands to Athens, yet still remains relatively unknown,” said Leon Avigad, Founder, Brown Hotels. “Being so closely located to Athens, accessible by a one hour car drive, and with such a beautiful coastline, we saw an opportunity to invest in this untapped destination as domestic and international tourism continues to rise. The new Brown Beach resorts usher in a new hospitality offering to the Brown Hotels collection, and we’re excited to be diversifying and connecting with new audiences as the group expands.”
With a clean and minimalistic design aesthetic, the rooms at Brown Beach Eretria feature a calming colour palette of neutral hues with ochre and marine blue accents, natural materials and refined furnishings, for an atmosphere that encourages the ultimate tranquillity. Boasting 175 spacious rooms, guests can choose from the various configurations to suit their preference. All rooms at Brown Beach Eretria offer spacious balconies, complimentary high-speed WiFi, bathrobes and slippers and luxury bathroom amenities.
