Greek boutique hospitality brand Aria Hotels is extending its footprint with two standout projects that merge luxury, locality and sustainable travel. The group has recently opened a high-end villa in Anavyssos and is developing a refined hotel on the island of Thirasia — both anchored in the ethos of quiet luxury and deep place-connection.
A villa by Aria Hotels in Anavyssos
Situated on the coastal fringe of the Athens Riviera, Anavyssos presents the perfect location for a high-end hideaway. The new premium villa by Aria Hotels unfolds on a substantial parcel of land, designed to accommodate up to eight guests in four bedrooms. This setting caters to families or small groups seeking privacy, openness and the soothing rhythm of a seaside escape.
While nestled in a serene environment, the villa also benefits from close proximity to the city and beaches, making it accessible yet exclusive. Guests enjoy vaulted terraces, outdoor lounging and a private pool — all packaged within an architectural aesthetic that honours regional character— stone, wood, natural materials—while delivering contemporary comfort.
In keeping with Aria Hotels’ signature service model, the villa offers full concierge support, a thoughtfully equipped kitchen, and room for immersive local experiences: olive-oil tasting, herb walks, private cookery workshops and tailored excursions. With this launch, the brand emphasises its commitment to meaningful stays and high-end yet authentic hospitality.
Thirasia: the next chapter in boutique island hospitality
Meanwhile, Aria Hotels is preparing to bring its quiet luxury concept to the lesser-traced island of Thirasia, an alternative to its more crowded neighbour. The forthcoming hotel — designed for a highly selective guest experience — will feature a small number of suites, premium amenities and a design language that reflects the island’s volcanic terrain, simple village life and panoramic sea vistas.
Here, travel is decelerated: guests are invited to explore on foot or by boat, engage with local culture, and enjoy wellness, cuisine and service without the bustle of major resorts. The hotel will leverage its position to offer elevated views of the caldera, refined interiors and bespoke well-being facilities, all framed by the natural tranquillity of the island.
In this way, Aria Hotels is aligning with travel trends favouring authenticity over spectacle, and intimate elegance over mass appeal. Thirasia promises to be a destination in itself, rather than a mere extension of a more touristed location.
A hospitality philosophy rooted in authenticity and sustainability
Both of the developments reflect Aria Hotels’ broader mission: to curate hospitality that is simultaneously luxurious, local and responsible. Beyond high-quality design and service, the focus is on preserving cultural context, integrating with local ecosystems and offering guests experiences that connect them more deeply with place. The brand’s portfolio demonstrates an affinity for historic buildings, serene locations, and interiors that quietly reference local craft, heritage and landscape.
Whether through private guided tours, regional culinary workshops or nature-centric wellness, the idea is to create stays that go beyond overnight lodging and become meaningful memories. And by choosing less-visited or revitalised locales, the brand contributes to sustainable tourism by encouraging dispersal and thoughtful interaction with destinations.
Why these destinations matter
Anavyssos holds strategic appeal: close to Athens yet far removed enough to offer relaxation, it serves guests who want a convenient but elevated coastal stay. The villa’s open setting and refined design make it a compelling option for luxury travellers seeking both proximity and seclusion.
Thirasia, on the other hand, represents the growing demand for boutique stays in islands that maintain authenticity and tranquillity. By positioning its next hotel here, Aria Hotels caters to travellers who want island magic without the crowds, and who value immersive experiences over generic resort amenities.
What travellers can anticipate
From the Anavyssos villa, expect a seamless blend of freedom and service: private outdoor spaces, tailored concierge service, and a setting that invites quiet rejuvenation. The Thirasia hotel will raise the bar further with ocean-view suites, elevated wellness options, local-inspired cuisine and a design ethos rooted in place. Both offerings cater to discerning travellers who understand the value of time, space and context.
Booking is designed to be intuitive. Guests will have access to personalized packages—private chef, local guide, island boat tour—and a heightened standard of hospitality that emphasises calm, authenticity and comfort.
A new era for Greek boutique luxury
With these two developments, Aria Hotels is signalling a new chapter in Greek luxury hospitality—one that prizes subtlety, place, quality and experience over scale and generic glamour. In doing so, the brand is contributing to a reshaping of how luxury tourism can work in Greece: more personal, more place-aware, more sustainable.
Guests now have a compelling choice: to immerse themselves in the golden light of the Athenian Riviera or to escape to the calm seascapes of an island almost untouched. Both options reflect the same commitment: luxury that feels authentic, destinations that feel discovered.
In sum, Aria Hotels’ expansion offers travellers the promise of special stays—whether it’s a serene villa in Anavyssos or a boutique hotel in Thirasia—where design, culture and comfort converge. For Greece’s hospitality sector, these announcements reinforce the destination’s evolving position as one where premium travel experiences meet local richness.
