The operation of the second hotel in Greece under the Ananea lifestyle hotel brand is planned by the Dertour tourism group, as part of its expansion in the Mediterranean region.
More specifically, the group’s hotel arm is planning to open an Ananea hotel in Crete in 2025, Ananea Rocrita, in Mochlos, on the northeast coast of the island, between Agios Nikolaos and Sitia.
The operation of Ananea Rocrita is expected next spring. The hotel is included in the list of seven new hotels that Dertour plans to open in Greece, Italy and Egypt, as well as in distant destinations such as East Africa and the Maldives. This is the group’s second hotel in Greece, following the opening of Ananea in Tigaki, Kos.
T he other hotels are the Ananea Tropea Yachting Resort, which has been soft-opening since July. It has 57 rooms and is located in Tropea Marina, in southern Italy. While, a third hotel is planned to open in the Mediterranean region, namely in Hurghada, Egypt, with a capacity of 114 rooms, with a timeframe of next spring.
Meanwhile, in November 2024, two hotels are expected to open in East Africa, Ananea Diamonds Mapenzi, in Zanzibar, with a capacity of 105 rooms, and Ananea Diamonds Malindi, with a capacity of 134 rooms, in Kenya.
In February 2025, the group plans to open a second hotel in the Maldives, Ananea Madivaru Maldives, a family-friendly resort with 110 villas in different styles, and with private pools.
The lifestyle hotel brand Ananea was developed by Dertour’s hotel division, in collaboration with experienced professional Remo Masala, who is in charge of Casa Cook.
Ananea hotels are aimed at European travellers and are inspired by the local architecture and gastronomy of the region in which they are located and, as for the name Ananea, it comes from the Greek word “Renewal”.
