Where the deep blue waters of the Aegean lap lazily against the Greek shores, you’ll find pure luxury awaiting you at the Grand Resort Lagonissi. If only one word could be used to describe this paradise, it would be indulgent. This 5-star resort will accommodate each and every desire imaginable, giving you an experience the whole family will cherish.

 

Located on an outcropping of land along a stretch known as the Athenian Riviera, the luxe surroundings make the most of the natural beauty of the Greek coastline. From the moment you first approach the property along the bougainvillea and tree-lined drive, a sense of serenity calms your soul. The resort is designed with a modern, minimalist approach, respecting the local style of sleek lines, natural materials and white-washed buildings that provide a stark contrast to the deep blues of the Aegean Sea in the background.

 

Complete with a helipad, yacht rentals and an outdoor movie theater, the resort has thought of every possible amenity. Butler service is available upon request and if you don’t like swimming in a cold pool, your private pool can be heated. Relax in your room with a personalized spa treatment or massage or have the helpful concierge arrange for a private limousine, car rental or even a personalized sightseeing trip to the local sites.

The lush grounds of the resort are ideal for strolling in the morning sun or enjoying an afternoon breeze, and the sparkling Aegean Sea is the perfect backdrop for a game of tennis or volleyball. Take a dip in one of the resort’s refreshing pools or relax under an umbrella on the private beach. For those serious about maintaining their fitness routine while on vacation, there is a daily gym program and personal trainers available.

 

The resort offers a variety of accommodations ranging from luxury hotel rooms to private villas.  The private beachfront bungalows and villas offer the ultimate in privacy, luxury and relaxation, such as the Dream Villa which comes complete with a private garden, private pool and an outdoor fireplace. These secluded getaways give you the perfect place to relax in your hammock with a drink in hand while you watch the sun setting into the depths of the Aegean.

 

The Grand Family Zone ensures mom and dad aren’t the only members of the family to have a luxury experience catered just for them. Families can play together or the resort’s trained staff can supervise and entertain your children with kid-friendly activities while mom and dad enjoy some much-needed alone time. The family zone offers water sports, a playground, games, high-tech entertainment and swimming lessons. Babysitting services are also available upon request.

 

If this incomparable vacation destination isn’t enough to satisfy your family’s needs, rest assured there is no shortage of fun along the Athenian Riviera. Located less than an hour from the center of Athens, there is plenty of shopping, entertainment, culture and ancient history to entertain the whole family. A short drive in the other direction and you will find yourself at Cape Sounion, the Temple of Poseidon on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Aegean. This impressive archaeological site offers one of the best views of the sunset along the coast.

 

Whether the Grand Resort Lagonissi is a jumping-off point for your family to enjoy the beauty of the Athenian Riviera or the place where you wish to indulge in a secluded luxury vacation, you and your family will learn what it is like to be treated like a Greek god during your stay.
