Amanzoe

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose Amanzoe for private-pool seclusion on a Greek hillside, with a dedicated beach club below and family activities in summer.

About the hotel

On the eastern Peloponnese near Porto Heli, Amanzoe occupies a hilltop above olive groves with views across the Aegean. Its 54 independently bookable units are pavilions and villas rather than a conventional room block, and each offers a private pool; three Beach Pavilions sit directly on the shore. The resort’s geography is split between the elevated main estate and a Beach Club on a sheltered bay, reached by complimentary transfer or downhill bike ride.

Choose it if

You want a standalone pavilion or villa with a private pool and room to retreat between outings.
You want a beach-club day with swimming, snorkelling or paddleboarding, and are comfortable with a short transfer from the hilltop.
You’re travelling with children and value summer activities, children’s pools and family-oriented facilities.

Skip it if

You want the main resort to be directly on the beach; its Beach Club is below the hilltop estate and reached by transfer or downhill bike ride.

One guest found Amanzoe disappointing last year and says they will not return this year.

“Unfortunately I found it disappointing last year - to the point of not returning this year.”

Canaves Epitome

Oia, Greece

Beach53 roomsSea Views

Just outside Oia, above Ammoudi’s fishing town, Canaves Epitome is a 53-suite-and-villa resort built in 2018. Its architecture draws on Cycladic forms and volcanic stone, with the Aegean and sunset visible from its accommodations. The layout prioritizes private outdoor living: suites and villas have plunge or swimming pools, while two main pools and two restaurants give guests shared places to gather. A shuttle connects the quieter site with Oia, so village visits do not require staying in its busy center.

Aman Sveti Stefan

Sveti Stefan, Montenegro

BeachHistoric

Aman Sveti Stefan spans two distinct settings on Montenegro’s coast: the fortified 15th-century islet of Sveti Stefan, linked to shore by a narrow isthmus, and Villa Miločer, a former royal residence across the bay on the mainland. The island’s restored stone cottages and suites sit among cobbled lanes and courtyards, while the mainland villa brings a smaller, year-round base beside King’s and Queen’s beaches and the Aman Spa.

Its 99 accommodation units span hillside suites, private pool villas and larger pool residences, giving the property a more spread-out, villa-led feel than a conventional hotel block. The defining draw is the contrast between a sheltered beach setting and private-pool accommodation, with dining and wellness experiences on site for guests who want to spend much of their time at the resort.
