The iconic Cape Sounio resort unveils a sweeping transformation, heralding a new era of elegance, wellbeing, and meaningful escape on the Athens Riviera. Its bold new chapter comes to life through a property-wide renovation, seen in reimagined accommodations, revitalized spaces, and elevated facilities.
LOBBY
The striking art-filled lobby is surrounded by a luminous site-specific installation by contemporary Greek artist Nefeli Massia, depicting the Golden Triangle’s ancient landmarks: the Temple of Poseidon, the Parthenon, and the Temple of Athena Aphaia. The reception features Takis’s Signals, his iconic kinetic sculptures, along with rare design pieces, including T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings’s 1940s Greek-inspired chairs, handcrafted by Saridis of Athens — reflecting the resort’s commitment to cultural authenticity.
LANDSCAPE
Guests are greeted on arrival by handcrafted pitharia — large ceramic vessels inspired by ancient Greek artisan traditions. The redesigned landscape is a verdant sanctuary of pine forests, palm groves, and olive trees, enriched by year-round blooms of native flora. Vineyards and organic gardens yield fresh fruits and vegetables, while timeworn stones and ancient rocks from the archaeological site, form an enchanting tapestry of history and nature.
GYM
The brand-new nature-wrapped Gym at Cape Sounio is a secluded wellness sanctuary, nestled among pine trees and bathed in natural light. This pine-clad space features top-tier equipment and private training sessions with inspiring views. Guests can elevate their fitness journey by combining workouts with yoga, scenic hikes, or mountain biking – embracing the resort’s athleisure spirit in a breathtaking natural setting.
