PB hotel design editorial

Strung along a rocky Attic coastline at Glyfada, twenty minutes south of central Athens, the villas and pavilions of One&Only Aesthesis cascade toward the Saronic Gulf in a low horizontal grammar that seems less built than arranged — flat roofs, louvered timber screens, and floor-to-ceiling glazing tracing the natural contours of the shore. The aerial view confirms the ambition: some sixty villas and suites distributed across a pine-dotted headland, each positioned to claim a private relationship with the water, the massing deliberately fragmented to avoid the monolithic presence that coastal resorts so often default to. The main clubhouse building, visible from the pool terrace, carries a gently curved roof that lifts at its centre like a shallow wave, clad in pale limestone and anchored by tall glass walls that draw the Aegean light deep into the public spaces. Inside, the design vocabulary is warm and unhurried — slatted oak ceilings, leather-upholstered bed frames set against panelled cream walls, woven rattan pendants, and curved cream bouclé sofas that sit in easy conversation with textured scatter cushions in indigo and natural linen. The beach bar, a circular teak structure with a cantilevered bronze canopy, has the assured geometry of a piece of furniture scaled to landscape. Bedrooms in the overwater-adjacent villas open onto private terraces through full-height sliding glass, the Saronic islands visible on the horizon at dusk — a view that makes the careful restraint of the interiors feel precisely calibrated rather than merely minimal.

"One & Only is an amazing resort, it’s more than a hotel as the facilities spacious and luxurious touches are a notch above. In addition the service by the on site staff are top class. Food offering is also great, from the breakfast spread to the dinner option. We also got to use the spa and heated pool which was again top class."

"We stayed at One&Only Aesthesis in February and had a wonderful experience. The weather was sunny and pleasant, perfect for visiting outdoor sites like the Acropolis without the summer crowds. I truly recommend coming to Athens in the low season – the city feels more relaxed and enjoyable. What made our stay extra special was that we visited during Chinese New Year, and the hotel thoughtfully prepared festive amenities in the room. It was such a warm and unexpected touch – a beautiful blend of international hospitality and traditional celebration that genuinely made us feel at home. The service throughout the stay was excellent, and every staff member was kind, attentive, and welcoming. A perfect choice for a peaceful, high-quality stay while exploring Athens."

"As frequent visitors to One & Only The Palm, Dubai, we were keen to try a new destination, and One & Only Aesthesis did not disappoint. Located Just a 10 minute walk from Glyfada, a small local town with shops, restraunts and bars, and a 30 minute taxi ride from the attractions of central Athens, the hotel is in a perfect location to enjoy a short city break. Once you have driven through the gates of the hotel it’s like entering a peaceful oasis. There is a very modern feel to the resort which is beautifully landscaped, and has a mix of rooms, suites, bungalows and villas. Our bungalow was beautiful, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything that you need far a luxurious stay. The bungalow had a bedroom, dressing room, large bathroom and lots of outside space to the front and rear of the property. The front area had lounge seating and a lovely big fire for chillier evenings, and the rear garden area had more seating, sun loungers and a good sized plunge pool. The hotel has two restaurants, Manko which serves Peruvian dishes and Ora which serves Greek / Itallan cuisine. We ate at both and would highly recommend as the food was superb - special mention to the pastry chef for some wonderful creations. We would like to extend our thanks to Socrates and Panagiotis who looked after us at Ora, they were very knowledgeable about the menu and were able to give us good recommendations. They were very professional and made us feel like nothing was to much trouble. Socrates loves his job and he is a credit to the hotel, but although he does a geat job at Ora, we could also see him being very good in a bar environment as he is so friendly.. maybe the Sunset Bar (amazing views !) would be a good fit for him? Andreas always welcomed us with a lovely smile every morning at breakfast, we had some lovely conversations with him and he was so friendly. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good enough to sit around the main pool, but we had a walk around the area and found there to be plenty of sunbeds and cabanas for use during warmer times. We were so well looked after by everyone that we met, including members of the management team, and this made our break very special. Every member of staff, without exception, were outstanding and so friendly and helpful. Special mentions for Nikos and John Paul who are an absolute credit to the team, and genuinely wanted us to have a great experience ! Overall, a fantastic hotel in a great location with a wonderful team to look after you and make you feel welcome, we will be returning!"
