History
One&Only Aesthesis opened in November 2023 on the Athenian Riviera in Glyfada, Athens, reviving the historic 'Asteria' beach complex — a mid-century modernist seafront club from the 1950s designed by architects Vourekas, Dekavalas, and Georgiadis. The project was developed by Grivalia Hospitality and redesigned by architectural studios K-Studio, A6A Architects, and AUDO for the masterplan, with MUZA Lab handling interiors in a blend of mid-century style and fresh Mediterranean glamour. The 21-hectare seafront site accommodates approximately 127 keys including 12 hotel rooms, 90 pool bungalows, 23 pool suites, and 2 villas including a Villa One. A Guerlain Spa, Michelin-lauded chef Ettore Botrini's restaurant ORA, and a vibrant beach club are central to the guest experience.
The setting
Situated in Glyfada, on the Athenian Riviera approximately 20 km south of Athens city centre and 30 minutes from Athens International Airport, set on the protected Glyfada seafront amid pine forests.
