One&Only Aesthesis

As you drive along the beach road, the city gradually fades into the background and the beach area of the One&Only Aesthesis begins. Nestled in the protected forest reserve of Glyfada, the resort is the ideal retreat near Athens. Here, the Athenian Riviera of the 1950s to 1970s is reimagined: the beach promenade, the retro-chic beach club, the gentle rhythm of the music—all evoking a time when the Riviera was a social scene unto itself. Rooms, suites, and private villas frame the view outside: pine trees, gardens, and the water. Many accommodations are bungalows with private pools, outdoor showers, and fireplaces; they are refuges surrounded by greenery. The multi-bedroom Seafront Villas, complete with kitchens and gardens, feel like standalone homes, complemented by One&Only Private Homes.



Culinary-wise, Aesthesis can be experienced like a stroll through a Mediterranean city : open kitchens, tables under the open sky, the scent of lavender, olive oil, and honey. In the signature restaurants Ora by Ettore Botrini and Manko , Greece is interpreted as an edible love letter—with meze, seafood, locally sourced meat, and vegan dishes from sustainable production. The hours after sunset are enjoyed at the Alelia Bar or the Sunset Bar Thimisi . At the infinity pool, Mediterranean cocktails, light bites, and DJ sets come together.

The Guerlain Spa offers preventive and regenerative programs , complemented by a fitness area that seamlessly transitions from indoor to outdoor spaces: tennis, padel, water sports, bike tours, and walks through the Glyfada forest. For children, the resort becomes a botanical adventure playground with a treehouse village and a focus on nature, while teenagers find their own hangout at OneTribe . The result is a place where Athens remains just a short drive away—yet far enough to turn the city into a backdrop and the Riviera back into a stage.
