Luxury resort on Athens Riviera with private beach, contemporary design, and Astir Beach access. Multiple dining options and comprehensive spa.
Arion Resort & Spa is a seafront luxury property at Apollonos 40 in Vouliagmeni, a coastal suburb on the Athens Riviera approximately 25 kilometres south of central Athens. The resort is set within a pine-forested peninsula on the Saronic Gulf, one of the most exclusive stretches of coastline in Attica, within the wider Astir estate. On clear days the views extend toward the islands of the Saronic Gulf.
The property's architectural character reflects a contemporary Mediterranean aesthetic: low-rise buildings with pale stone facades and timber elements are integrated into the pine woodland, preserving the landscape's natural character while providing generous terrace and balcony space. Multiple outdoor swimming pools are set among the landscaped grounds, with pathways connecting to the beach facilities below.
Room categories include standard rooms with garden or pool views, superior sea-view rooms, deluxe rooms with larger terraces, junior suites, and villa configurations with private pool access. All accommodation includes individually controlled air conditioning, satellite television, minibar, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Private beach sections within the Astir estate are reserved for resort guests and equipped with sun loungers and parasols.
Dining is spread across several venues: a main restaurant offering Mediterranean and international buffet meals, a beach taverna serving grilled seafood and light fare with direct sea views, and a poolside bar for cocktails and snacks throughout the day. Evening dining alternatives in Vouliagmeni's seafront restaurants are a short walk from the resort grounds.
The spa provides a comprehensive menu of massages, body treatments, hydrotherapy circuits, and beauty services, with steam room, sauna, and fitness centre facilities adjoining. Water sports hire — including kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkelling equipment — is available from the beach. A dedicated kids' club runs structured seasonal programmes for families. Lake Vouliagmeni, a natural thermal spring lake open for public bathing, is located just a few minutes by road and is a popular morning excursion for resort guests.
