Set high on a hilltop overlooking Greece’s glittering Aegean coastline, Amanzoe is one of Aman’s most architecturally striking and culturally evocative destinations. Located near the glamorous coastal enclave of Porto Heli and surrounded by undulating olive groves, vineyards, and cypress-lined hills, the resort evokes the timeless serenity of ancient Greek temples.

Designed by renowned architect Ed Tuttle, Amanzoe blends classical geometry with Aman’s minimalist philosophy, offering an atmosphere of refined calm, Mediterranean brightness, and deep historical resonance. Guests experience an immersive retreat where modern luxury meets the spirit of ancient Greece — a place of light, landscape, and cultivated tranquillity.

Location

Amanzoe is perched on a peaceful hilltop in the eastern Peloponnese, offering 360-degree views of the Aegean Sea, rolling hills, and the distant island of Spetses. The region is known for its archaeological significance, pristine waters, and slow-paced coastal lifestyle.

The resort’s elevated position gives it a temple-like presence. Marble colonnades, reflecting pools, limestone pathways, and symmetrical courtyards highlight the Greek reverence for harmony and proportion. At sunset, the entire property glows in soft gold — a signature scene for many guests.

Despite its secluded setting, Amanzoe is close to iconic cultural sites such as Epidaurus, Mycenae, and Nafplio, allowing visitors to explore ancient Greek history with ease.
