Hyatt Unveils Zélia Halkidiki Adults Only Resort Delivering Authentic Elevated Greek Experience in Northern Greece

Hyatt Hotels Corporation is excited to unveil Zélia Halkidiki, an exclusive adults-only resort crafted to offer guests a genuine and sophisticated Greek escape. As the very first property to carry the prestigious Destination by Hyatt brand in Greece, Zélia Halkidiki marks a pivotal moment in Hyatt’s ongoing expansion within one of Europe’s most alluring and culturally rich travel destinations.

Located in the stunning northern region of Greece, Halkidiki is renowned for its pristine turquoise waters, lush pine-lined beaches, and a soothing, laid-back atmosphere that invites visitors to truly unwind. Perched on a peaceful hillside amid sprawling olive groves, Zélia Halkidiki offers guests an idyllic retreat close to key local attractions. Close by, the vibrant seaside town of Nea Moudania captivates visitors with its bustling fresh fish markets and golden sandy shores. Meanwhile, the picturesque Afytos Village enchants with its classic stone buildings, winding cobblestone streets, and stunning panoramas of the Toroneos Gulf. This seamless fusion of scenic landscapes and rich cultural traditions beautifully aligns with the resort’s goal of offering a genuine Greek getaway.

This launch strengthens our presence in Europe and reinforces our dedication to offering guests deeply immersive and genuine experiences in the world’s most captivating destinations.”

A fusion of barefoot luxury and bohemian chic design

Zélia Halkidiki features 104 exquisitely appointed guestrooms and suites, each thoughtfully crafted with a soothing palette of beige, olive green, and deep gray hues inspired by the surrounding landscape.

Custom furniture pieces fuse contemporary minimalism with earthy, tactile finishes to create spaces that are both stylish and inviting. Guests can soak in panoramic sea views while enjoying modern comforts such as 55-inch smart TVs, indulgent rain showers, and luxurious Le Labo bath amenities, ensuring every stay balances relaxation with sophistication.
