EKIES RESORT: YOUR SUMMER SANCTUARY WHERE NATURE MEETS DESIGN
words by NATALIE GAL
Greece feels eternal, forever shimmering, twinkling with timeless charm. There’s something in the air here: a quiet, ancient wisdom that settles over you like a soft breeze. It’s the kind of place that’s impossible not to fall in love with.
Tucked along the sun-drenched coastline is Ekies Resort, a haven of laid-back luxury with 76 individually styled rooms, suites, lofts, and villas. Each space is designed to blend beautifully with its surroundings, where nature meets thoughtful design in a mix of wood, glass, and gentle modernity.
But Ekies is more than just a beautiful place to stay—it’s somewhere to truly unwind and reconnect. With two award-winning restaurants, a pool and lounge bar, a retreat centre, and an open-plan gym, the resort offers everything you need to relax or explore at your own pace. You can head out on a boat excursion, try your hand at water sports, unwind at the spa, or let the kids dive into their adventures at the Kids Club.
The resort’s organic garden is not only a source of fresh ingredients but also a magical setting for intimate dinners under the stars. And throughout the week, you’ll find gastronomy events, wine tastings, and live music bringing people together in celebration of food, culture, and community.
Our Editor-in-Chief Timotej visited just after opening week and called it one of the year’s highlights. With perfect weather, crystal-clear waters, and lazy dips in both sea and pool, it was the ideal escape. He spoke about the Greek red wines, the bold fusion of Greek flavours, and the resort’s clean, spacious rooms that radiated calm. The vintage-style gym and spa rounded out the experience, adding just the right touch of charm.
From beach lounging to mountain biking, from private dinners by the sea to sunset boat rides to nearby islands, Ekies is really an example for the future of hospitality. It’s where summer lives all year around, and where you just might want to stay a little longer.
