“This five-star luxury hotel sits within a beautiful olive grove overlooking the Messinian Gulf. Guests are welcomed to bright suites dressed in an earthy palette; there's an added hint of nature with an olive plant in each room. Relax on the hotel's sandy beach or in the infinity pool. A VIP resort.”

Hotel review

Vounaria is a verdant oasis on the eastern coast of the Peloponnese. The fact that it is located at some distance from the nearest airport means that, even in the summer, the sandy beaches are not overrun with tourists. For those looking to enjoy a more tranquil experience of the southern Greek coast, it is an ideal choice. Camvillia Resort makes the most of this beautiful location; sitting on the site of a former olive grove (now transplanted to the hotel garden), the design of the suites, spa and restaurant threads through the colours of the natural landscape in luxurious soft furnishings. A convenient shuttle bus will run you down to the beach when you are ready; expect to be greeted by unspoiled, fine sand and crystalline waters. The facilities are where the resort clearly earns its five stars. Don't leave without experiencing the spa; there is a hammam, sauna and olive oil treatments, as well as an indoor pool. Enjoy exquisitely fresh seafood at the hotel restaurant by night, with al fresco dining available to complete the experience. An indulgent seaside bolt-hole.

Camvillia Resort

An off-the-beaten-track resort in the Peloponnese that aspires to become a destination in its own right. This is a no-expense-spared stunner set on a slope with a fetching view of the old Venetian port of Koroni, with easy access to a quiet and safe sandy beach.
