CAPE SOUNIO A GRECOTEL RESORT TO LIVE
Contributor — Four Hundred by Design
Cape Sounio captivates with a setting that marries natural beauty, history, and contemporary luxury. Overlooking the Aegean Sea and the iconic Temple of Poseidon, and nestled within a pine-clad landscape, the resort offers privacy and serenity while remaining just 40 minutes from Athens Airport, 50 minutes from the city center, and 10 minutes from Lavrio Port — making it an ideal base for cultural exploration, island excursions, or a peaceful coastal retreat.
Accommodations have been fully redesigned to merge contemporary comfort with a strong connection to nature. Guests may choose from bungalows, suites, and private villas, many featuring private pools and terraces with uninterrupted views of the sea and the Temple of Poseidon. Interiors emphasize natural materials, clean lines, and open layouts, creating serene environments that enhance privacy and harmony with the surrounding landscape.
Dining at Cape Sounio celebrates Mediterranean flavors through fresh, seasonal ingredients and thoughtfully curated menus. From casual poolside or beachfront meals to refined indoor dinners, each experience highlights Greek culinary traditions with quality, simplicity, and authenticity.
Wellness is central to the resort experience. The revamped Spā features the signature ‘Elevations of Wellness’ program, designed by renowned wellness expert Vicky Vlachonis (MSc Ost.), Gwyneth Paltrow’s go-to healer. The holistic program blends therapeutic treatments, mindfulness practices, and panoramic hydrotherapy pools to rejuvenate body and mind. Guests can also participate in fitness sessions, water sports, hikes, meditation, and curated cultural excursions, offering tailored experiences for families, couples, or groups.
Cape Sounio combines timeless allure with modern refinement. Its private beaches, panoramic sea views, pine-clad gardens, and proximity to cultural sites create a sense of place that is both restorative and inspiring. Thoughtful design, exceptional service, refined dining, and innovative wellness experiences make every stay an immersive and unforgettable Greek escape.
