In the sand-dusted suburbs of Greece’s capital, 91 Athens Riviera resort — part of the Domes hotel group — is riding the wave of the coastline’s quiet renaissance. Guests seeking newfound glamour might be surprised to sleep in canvas tents, but fear not, this isn’t a sleeping-bag type of stay — each domed den is decked out with five-star trappings. And with tennis courts, a private clubhouse, wellness space and iconic restaurant to boot, the luxury’s laid on thick.

Need to know

Rooms

28 canvas cabanas.

Check–Out

11am, and check-in is at 3pm. Both are flexible, on request and subject to availability.

More details

Rates include an à la carte breakfast, served daily at Barbarossa Restaurant.

Also

The hotel’s grounds are fairly flat throughout, but unfortunately none of the cabanas have been adapted for wheelchair-users, and they’re only accessible by a small set of five steps.

At the hotel

Public beach on-site, watersports equipment to hire, tennis courts and clubhouse, beach volleyball court, boutique, charged laundry service and free WiFi throughout. In rooms: 50-inch TV, Marshall Bluetooth speaker, ceiling fan and air-conditioning, minibar, Nespresso coffee machine, tea-making kit, bottle opener, beach towels, bathrobes and slippers, and Naxos Apothecary bath products.

Our favourite rooms

All luxury tents — or cabanas as they’re called here — set a supremely calming ambience, courtesy of spaces for alfresco idling, super-sized beds and restful colour schemes. But for levels of romance Aphrodite herself would approve of, book a Couples Cabana with a draped four-poster bed for evening trysts — we’re especially in love with those which have their own olive tree-hugged plunge pool.

Poolside

All tents but the Couples Cabana have their own private plunge pool; but if you want lengthier morning laps, head to the heated outdoor pool (open 10am to 6.30pm). Or stop by the spa for restorative, post-massage soaks.

Spa

The hotel’s Soma Spa sets a soothing tone from the get-go, with its calming cream hues and meditative beats. Masseurs cast a restorative spell in two treatment rooms, where ancient healing methods are applied with Augustinus Bader, Elemis and Codage Paris products. Fitness buffs can hit the gym, or rally on the tennis and volleyball courts.

Packing tips

Once the swimwear and sandals have been packed, throw in a ‘skort’ for a stint on the tennis courts.

Also

You’ll have free access to the sunloungers at the hotel’s beach, so there’s no need to race to bag a basking spot each morning.

Pet‐friendly

Pups are welcome to join you for an additional €20 each night, and a one-off €100 cleaning fee. Fido can roam the grounds, but he won’t be allowed in the restaurants, bar, spa or fitness centre. See more pet-friendly hotels in Athens Riviera.

Children

Little Smiths are welcome, and the Family Cabana is perfectly primed for families of four. Babysitting can also be arranged for an additional charge.

Sustainability efforts

91 Athens Riviera are currently working towards attaining their Green Key certification on the strength of their rigorous Earth-kind initiatives. Recycling is done diligently, and even leftover oils from the restaurant are repurposed; water is conserved by controlled irrigation systems, as well as measured tap and shower flows; and energy is sourced from solar panels and preserved with timed LED lighting, low-carbon heat pumps and automated air-conditioning.

Hotel restaurant

Chef Dimitris Nikolis earnt his accolades over on Paros, where he helmed the long-loved kitchen of Barbarossa restaurant. Now, he’s brought his culinary skills (and the restaurant’s famed name) to the shores of the Athenian Riviera. Menus are rooted in traditional Mediterranean flavours, some dishes are all Aegean (the seafood platter is a fan favourite) and others are spun with a Japanese twist, like maki topped with locally sourced sundried tomatoes, capers and olives. You can also grab light bites and post-match drinks at the clubhouse.

Hotel bar

Bordering the beach, the hotel’s open-air bar is primed for scene-stealing apéritifs. Perhaps a refreshing Aegean Sunset cocktail, shaken with mastiha (a traditional Greek spirit), freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey and a dash of mint.

Last orders

Barbarossa opens daily between 10am and 11pm. The bar serves from 10am to 6.30pm.

Room service

Dishes can be delivered to your door round-the-clock for an extra €15.

Greece

Glamorous Grecian hideaway 91 Athens Riviera is set along its namesake sun-soaked stretch in gateway to the coast Glyfada, just south of the capital.

Planes

Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport is a 30-minute drive from the hotel and has direct routes across Europe and from some of the US’ busiest hubs, including Boston, Chicago and New York. Private two-person hotel transfers can be arranged for €82 each way.

Automobiles

The hotel can organise shuttles to and from the city centre and surrounding ports, so a set of wheels won’t be essential. But if you do decide to rent a car, there’s free parking at the hotel.

Other

There’s a helipad nearby. If you’re arriving by sea, private transfers can be arranged from the ports of Piraeus, Rafina or Lavrio for an additional charge.

Worth getting out of bed for

Start local and mooch around Glyfada’s boutiques and beaches, before venturing a little further south to the storied duo of towns, Voula and Vouliagmeni — folklore suggests the latter’s namesake lake has potent healing powers. If the plethora of sandy spots on your doorstep aren’t enough, Kavouri Beach’s coves have long been loved for their seclusion. For more glittering blue panoramas, head to the Temple of Poseidon, which sits on the sea-surveying hill of Cape Sounion, which doubles up as a coveted sunset-watching spot come evening.

Athens is less than 30 minutes away by car, and worth a stop for touring the Acropolis and roaming the ancient streets of Plaka, which rest at the base of the citadel’s slopes. Barter alongside locals at the Monastiraki Flea Market, and the Agora’s Food Market adds flavour to any day. Back at your homebase, sunset yoga makes your downward dog all the more scenic, Pilates sessions are held daily, beach volleyball starts mornings right and private or group tennis lessons will have you serving like a pro in no time.

Local restaurants

The family behind Labros Restaurant has been reeling in crowds for its seafood and sweeping sea views since 1889. And the fish keeps coming over at Sardelaki Glyfada. If you’re a miso-black-cod buff, you’ll be pleased to know Nobu has brought his esteemed Japanese fare to the capital with Matsuhisa Athens.

Local bars

If you’re after an evening dance spot, we’d suggest shimmying over to the Island Club & Restaurant, where live DJ sets amp up the ambience.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this coastal crashpad in Greece and unpacked their olive oil and komboloi prayer beads, a full account of their beachfront break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside 91 Athens Riviera…

You wouldn’t think a beachside spot on the edge of the Aegean would be a tough sell, but after a stint as the party hangout in the roaring Sixties, this coastline became a little less swinging. Until recently, that is, when sophisticated retreat 91 Athens Riviera and a stream of creative crashpads brought the fun and fabulousness back. 

This new outpost of the beloved Domes hotel group is unique for its curvaceous standalone tents, each with alfresco living spaces (some with a plunge pool, too), butter-soft beds, reposeful palettes and all the frills — this ain’t your average camping trip. The spa’s therapists work their magic with ancient Greek healing practices and luxurious potions; or if you tire of time-outs, rally at the tennis courts. At Barbarossa restaurant ambrosial eats await (say, octopus doused in honey and Parian sweet wine…); after, hit the clubhouse for cooling cocktails. This glimmering coastal expanse has got its spark back, and so will you.
