If exploring the wonders of ancient Greece is on your travel to-do list, One&Only recently opened a resort that promises a luxe hideaway near the storied city of Athens.

One&Only Aesthesis is set within 21 hectares of protected forest reserve in the cosmopolitan neighbourhood of Glyfada, just a short drive from the Greek capital. Overlooking the sapphire waters of the Aegean Sea, Aesthesis evokes the essence of a private island, a glittering coastal hideaway made up of rooms, bungalows, suites, residences and villas.

Guests will find expansive outdoor living spaces featuring private pools, fragrant gardens, and outdoor showers and fireplaces. One&Only has also partnered with the famed French beauty house Guerlain to open the first Guerlain Spa in Greece. oneandonlyresorts.com/aesthesis
