Ekies All Senses Resort

A design hotel in Halkidiki

Located on the second «leg» of Halkidiki, the Sithonia peninsula, Ekies All Senses welcomes travellers in an atmosphere that is both luxurious and relaxed, facing the superb bay of Vourvourou. The sleek design of Ekies pays tribute to its Greek roots while blending perfectly into the region's unspoilt natural surroundings. The property's 80 individually decorated rooms come in shades of white, grey and cream, enhanced with more colourful objects. The newest suites blend particularly well with nature with their wooden design, and feature a private swimming pool and a leafy outdoor space that will delight both couples and families. Ekies offers several gastronomic experiences to vary the pleasures: Bubo, the gourmet à la carte option based on fresh, local ingredients; Kuko, whose credo is «simple and good»; and Loligo, where you can come to enjoy fresh juices and healthy snacks. Not forgetting the Treehouse which, perched at the top of a tree, invites you to savour an intimate dinner with a view of the Aegean Sea. During the day, guests can lounge on the deck, on the sand in front of the hotel or by the pool; enjoy treatments at the spa nestled in the gardens; or venture a little further to discover the superb beaches of Halkidiki and swim in crystal-clear waters.

THE EXTRAORDINARY

A member of Design Hotels, Ekies All Senses Resort stands out for its style that subtly blends modernity and Greek traditions. Light illustrations and a typography depicting the fables of the Greek poet Aesop sit alongside contemporary pieces by Philippe Starck. Without ever feeling excessive, the whole creates a relaxed atmosphere where one feels in harmony with the natural surroundings. Each of the rooms overlooks the sea, the gardens or the pool and features minimalist decor based on healthy materials, non-toxic paints and ecological mattresses.

ETHICS

Ekies All Senses is built mainly with sustainable materials such as wood, and the hotel uses natural materials like organic cotton within its interiors. As the establishment wishes to move towards «zero waste», it favours recyclable products, composts its organic waste and has replaced single-use plastics with biodegradable alternatives (straws, packaging, etc.). The hotel also has a vegetable garden that supplies its catering offer.
