The Best Resorts in Athens

Glamping on the Athenian Riviera sounds like a pitch, but the canvas tents here come with plunge pools, walk-in showers, and Marshall speakers, so the roughing-it part is mostly aesthetic. This is a design-forward beach resort from the Domes group, south of Athens on a coastline that's been quietly reinventing itself. Eight tennis courts, a beach club, a spa, and a Barbarossa outpost from Paros keep the days full.

Vouliagmeni sits just south of Athens on the Athenian Riviera, close enough to the city that you can pretend you planned the escape all along. The Margi is a boutique hotel with 88 rooms done in calm neutrals and handcrafted furniture, some with private balconies overlooking the coast. A bike path, a chic beach, a yacht marina, and a golf club are all within reach, and a Michelin-starred restaurant sits quietly on the premises for evenings you don't feel like wandering.

A glass-walled pool that could double as a piece of the art collection sets the tone at this boutique hotel in Ekali, the leafy northern suburb that gives you Athens access without the noise. The 29 rooms lean minimalist without feeling cold, thanks to organic materials and a serious eye for contemporary art throughout. Close enough to the city, removed enough to feel like an escape.
