Set along the pine-lined edge of Glyfada, One&Only Aesthesis traces the quiet arc of the Athenian Riviera. Just thirty minutes from the heart of Athens, this shoreline retreat feels suspended between two worlds: urban pulse and earth-bound calm. Glyfada’s pine-fringed coast opens into a pocket of mid-century nostalgia, where bungalows, suites, and villas nod to an era of timeless summer — breezy silhouettes, private pools, long shadows on tiled terraces.
Here, the pace softens. The hush of the sea mingles with the rustle of forest reserves. Steps from your door, the Aegean stretches wide and blue; behind you, the cultural weight of Athens — its galleries, ruins, and pulse — waits quietly. You don’t have to choose between city and coast. You move between them.
Iconic Riviera Lifestyle
The design breathes the Riviera’s iconic holiday homes — elegant without excess: clean lines, sun-washed tones, and delicate textures that echo the earth. Each accommodation — from elevated suites to private villas — is built for privacy and flow: deliberate, and quietly sacred. Terraces open wide to the Aegean or shaded gardens, while interiors channel a distinct sense of place. It’s a setting that encourages presence and pause.
Dining here leans into freshness and local depth. At Manko, Peruvian flavors meet the Athenian Riviera in a day-to-night rhythm—bright, bold, and beachside. Think: from sunlit lunches to late-night cocktails in the sand, it’s a setting that evolves with the hour. At Ora by Ettore Botrini, Mediterranean simplicity is reimagined with playful elegance; here, Greek tradition meets Italian flair in every plate. Wellness, anchored by the Guerlain Spa’s ritual-driven offerings, unravels in layers— not added on, but woven into the cadence of the stay. In every turn, curated experiences await: a private moment at Cape Sounion, a quiet tasting tucked in the hills, a shoreline seen from the sky.
For Those Who Seek More
Tailored for those who don’t want to be found, yet want everything within reach, One&Only Aesthesis is more than a seasonal escape. Open year-round, the property is a rare cadence on the Riviera — a destination for sun-filled days and firelit evenings, for summer swims and winter walks through historic walls. Close enough to explore Athens’ cultural landmarks with ease, yet far enough to feel fully removed. Whether it’s the Acropolis at sunrise or a cove at dusk.
Throughout the stay, experiences unfold with intention: a private boat at golden hour, a coastal drive past windswept cliffs, or an early morning visit to ruins before the crowds arrive. Each moment arranged not for effect, but for reflection.
Here, couples, culture obsessed, and wellness-focused guests will find what they’re looking for — and likely something they didn’t know they needed. The property is intimate but expansive, polished but grounded, and delivers a kind of ease that lingers long after you leave.
A Note for Luxury Travel Advisors: Why Recommend One&Only Aesthesis
For clients who want the city without the city stay — and the coast close enough to touch — One&Only Aesthesis offers a rare balance: cultural depth and salt-air stillness. Open year-round, it’s not built around a season, but around rhythm — made to restore, to rest.
UJV Travel Tip: Getting there is simple. One&Only Aesthesis is just 30 minutes from Athens International Airport, Piraeus Port, or central Athens. Private transfers can be arranged for a seamless arrival.
