–Following an extensive renovation, Patmos Aktis, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Greece welcomes guests to a timeless escape inspired by the island’s natural and spiritual energy.
Patmos Aktis Resort & Spa announces its official reopening as Patmos Aktis, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Greece, marking the debut of The Luxury Collection in the Dodecanese Islands. The transformation positions the resort as the premier luxury destination on Patmos, offering guests a serene and sophisticated gateway to one of Greece’s most captivating islands.
The iconic hotel, which was transferred by the Pouliou family, well-known traditional hoteliers of the Dodecanese, to the SMERemidiumCAP investment fund under Nikos Karamouzis, with the completion of the 20 million euro investment project, and with the participation of the management consultant – operating consultant AD HOC Hospitality Consulting, under the well-known and experienced hotel industry executive Pavlos Zorbas, is now part of the “cream” of the luxury hotels of the Marriott International chain, with the brand Luxury Collection. It is worth noting that in Greece there are 11 hotels operating under this brand, including the historic Great Britain, Santa Marina Mykonos, Vedema Santorini, Cosme in Paros, Romanos Costa Navarino, King George, Domes Miramare in Corfu and Domes Zen Chania.
Nestled in the peaceful curve of Grikos Bay, the resort has undergone an extensive redesign encompassing all 56 guestrooms, suites, and maisonettes, with additional accommodations set to launch in 2025, some of which on beachfront location. The renovation draws inspiration from the island’s natural landscape, cultural heritage, and meditative atmosphere. The result is a refined hospitality experience that harmonizes contemporary elegance with local authenticity.
Architecture and design have been led by Stylianidis Vaggelis Architects with interiors envisioned by Anastassiadis Architecture & Design. A soothing palette of whites, creams, and pale blues echoes the island’s light and sea, while handcrafted details and locally inspired artwork offer an authentic sense of place.
A central highlight of the transformation is the fully renovated Anasa Spa at Patmos Aktis, now a holistic sanctuary of calm and renewal. Anasa is the Greek word for breath and just as breath is essential to life, our spa is dedicated to providing you with an experience that revitalizes your mind, body and soul. The spa features new treatment rooms, upgraded facilities, and an enhanced wellness concept. Signature and indigenous experiences include ‘The breath of life’ and ‘Eycalyptus Touch’, a transformative journey that harmonizes body and spirit, inspired by the healing essence of Patmos.
The resort’s enhanced culinary experiences invite guests to savour the authentic flavours of the Dodecanese. Cielo e Mare, a refined signature restaurant and a bar with panoramic bay views elevate the resort’s dining landscape, offering locally inspired menus in a sophisticated setting. Plefsis Tavern, the beloved beachfront taverna, reopens with a refreshed design and a reimagined menu that continues to honor traditional island cuisine through a contemporary lens.
From tranquil mornings in sea-facing suites and maisonettes to immersive explorations of Patmos’ rich cultural tapestry, the resort offers curated experiences that celebrate the island’s natural and historical beauty. Guests can discover whitewashed villages and ancient monasteries, hike to secret beaches, sail to nearby islands, or delve into local traditions.
Patmos Aktis, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Greece is now open and welcoming guests for the 2025 season.
