Nestled between the Aegean Sea and majestic Mount Olympus, just 50-minutes from Thessaloniki International Airport, Zélia Resort & Spa Halkidiki opens its doors this April. The adults-only haven epitomises effortless luxury, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty, exceptional gastronomy and world-class wellness.
At the heart of Zélia lies an extraordinary culinary experience, overseen by the award-winning Chef Vassili Papatheodorou. Dine across four distinctive restaurants where each menu showcases unique flavours; indulge in Mediterranean delights at Mesogaea; gourmet bites at Hebe Café; fresh feasts at Zest and Japanese Peruvian fusion at Shizen. For an intimate supper club experience, book Syntrofi – set within a rustic olive grove where diners can pluck fresh herbs and vegetables from the kitchen-garden and watch the culinary team in action.
The 104 rooms and suites have been thoughtfully appointed to provide the ultimate comfort and style; each offers sweeping views of the Aegean’s azure waters or lush garden canopies surrounding the resort. For serene seclusion, opt for the Swim-Up Suite complete with a spacious private terrace for lounging in the Grecian sun.
Promising relaxation and rejuvenation, the Zélia Amazonia Spa offers a tranquil oasis immersed in lush flora and fauna. With a heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, sensory showers and dedicated quiet room, choose from a range of personalised treatments before unwinding further in the sauna and steam rooms.
By day, cool down in one of the resort’s two pools or stroll down to the beach – accessible via a short coastal path – to enjoy Zélia’s private deck, complete with complimentary sunbeds and parasols.
Encouraging guests to head out and explore the region’s natural beauty, the concierge can share curated hiking routes to the Petralona Cave or picturesque Wetlands, home to a flamboyance of flamingos. E-bike tours are also available, with routes taking guests through sand dunes and coastal forests, peppered with pitstops to soak up breathtaking views, whilst those wanting to take to the water can do so on a kayaking adventure.
