The 2025 hot list: the best new hotels in Greece
The list of all-new 2025 hotels in Greece
Greece never stops reinventing itself – and 2025 is no exception. This year’s wave of new hotels isn’t just about sun-soaked terraces and postcard views. These properties interpret their landscapes through design, food and philosophy. From islands where modernist architecture now meets Cycladic stonework to urban hideaways turning forgotten buildings into contemporary sanctuaries, the country’s hotel scene is buzzing with fresh energy. Here are some of the hottest new hotels to watch (or already stay at) in Greece in 2025, what makes them special and why they’re worth travelling for.

Myconian Sunrise
Agrari Beach has always been the islander’s escape – a stretch of sand where Mykonos feels slower, less staged. The debut of Myconian Sunrise in August folds into that rhythm, offering privacy without erasing the local beat. A Relais & Châteaux property, it houses just 49 suites, many opening to terraces with plunge pools or Jacuzzis and timber shutters angled toward the sea. The design nods to a pared-down 1970s glamour – pale stone walls, sun-bleached woods, fabrics that look best rumpled after a day in the salt air. Almiriki Beach Club anchors the social side, with mezze, live sets and a barefoot-by-the-water energy that feels grown-up yet unpretentious.

Aváli
On Corfu’s southeastern shoreline, where the island breathes more slowly than in the north, Aváli opened in August under the Mar-Bella Collection. The property is considered a reworking of an older hotel – proof that reinvention can be just as compelling as ground-up builds. Its 76 suites spill into gardens and frame views of a 300-metre private beach, where mornings begin with swims before the cicadas stir. The design is understated with glass walls pulling sea light into simple, clean interiors and pathways lined with local flora. When the sun starts to set, head over to The Beach House for a sundowner cocktail and grilled fish for dinner.

Amoh
Rhodes has long balanced myth and modernity, but Amoh is where those threads finally converge. Rising on the site of an ancient stone quarry, this Luxury Collection resort has a texture that feels like the island itself. The 197 rooms and suites are chambers carved from narrative – volcanic walls, arched doorways, terraces catching Aegean winds. Pools mirror old healing baths, while ceramic workshops connect you to local craft traditions still alive in village studios. We love that the property sprawls across private coves and shaded gardens. The atmosphere here feels more citadel than resort, as if it were built to safeguard the island’s memory.

Tella Thera
Crete is at the forefront of Greece’s eco-architecture movement and Tella Thera is its most radical statement yet. Designed by Pieris Architects, it hides more than it shows. Semi-subterranean suites embedded in olive groves, rooftops planted with wild herbs and curves that echo the earth’s contours. The ethos is radical sustainability – zero-waste dining drawn from nearby producers. The plant-forward kitchen focuses on a menu that has influences from soil and sea. At Tella Thera, your mornings start with yoga shadowed by the White Mountains and evenings with a swim in pools edged with silence, lit by bee-buzzed rooftops.

JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa
JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa made its debut as the brand’s first Mediterranean beach resort in Greece. Spread over 100 acres in Marathi near Chania, the 160 rooms and villas fold between olive groves and carob trees, rooflines softened to echo the topography. Interiors balance sleek lines with traditional Cretan materials, a reminder that modern elegance can coexist with agrarian roots. Foodies, you’ll be happy to hear that you get to pick from six dining concepts surrounding a central garden where herbs and vegetables are grown for the kitchens. We also love the on-site spa, Anoseas – they combine traditional Cretan healing rituals with modern wellness practices.

The Duchess
For decades, Thirassia lingered in Santorini’s shadow, a volcanic sibling less polished, more raw. The June arrival of The Duchess tilts that balance, giving the island its own destination moment. Just 12 suites, each with a veranda spilling into the caldera, create an intimacy Santorini has long surrendered. The design is a study in restraint – neutral palettes, marble accents and Cycladic lines stripped to essentials. Days here slow to the village rhythm – breakfast beneath bright silence, afternoons by the infinity pool where the Aegean horizon seems endless. At night, cocktails at the pool bar mirror the glow of Oia across the water, but without the crowd.

Amyth of Nicosia
Though technically in Cyprus, Amyth of Nicosia is too good not to include for anyone exploring the greater Mediterranean luxury scene in 2025. Opened in March inside a restored early 1900s mansion, the ten-room hotel carries layers of history. These tiled floors, carved staircases and frescoed ceilings aren’t used as museum pieces but as textures for contemporary living. The renovation doesn’t polish away its past – it highlights it, giving you the sense you’re inhabiting a story still being written. The restaurant, Amyth Kouzina, is already drawing the city’s creative set – chefs reworking Mediterranean classics with flair.

Villa Aegean
High above the caldera at Imerovigli, Villa Aegean opened in February under Mandarin Oriental’s Exceptional Homes collection. Villa Aegean is Santorini distilled to its essentials. Five bedrooms carved into volcanic stone, terraces that unravel toward the horizon and interiors where curves and shadows do the decorating. The design is sculptural, almost theatrical. Featuring subterranean “cool rooms”, black basalt walls and communal dining spaces that frame the sunset as if it were artwork. Service is discreet but absolute – villa manager, concierge and the full Mandarin Oriental network at your call. If you want the island’s drama without the crowds, Villa Aegean is the key to Santorini, as few will ever see it.
