Marriott International, Inc. today announced it has signed an agreement to bring The Luxury Collection to the Dodecanese Islands in Greece, following an extensive renovation of Patmos Aktis Suites & Spa. Expected to open in summer 2024, Patmos Aktis, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Greece will be the only luxury resort on the peaceful Island of Patmos, a destination acclaimed for its picturesque coastline and unique, spiritual energy.

Drawing inspiration from the island's rich heritage, Patmos Aktis, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Greece is slated to offer a tranquil, timeless escape located in the serene beauty of Grikos Bay. Reimagined by Stylianidis Vaggelis Architects and Anastassiadis Architecture & Design, renovations are expected to include all 56 guestrooms, suites and villas, with additional guestrooms to be added on in 2025, a signature restaurant serving local island delicacies with a contemporary twist, and a bar and terrace with breathtaking bay views. The culinary vision for Plefsis Tavern, a traditional Greek taverna on the beach, includes authentic Dodecanese cuisine with a fresh look from design touches inspired by its seafront setting. The hotel's refreshed Spa is anticipated to offer rejuvenating rituals and signature treatments designed to detoxify the mind and relax the body, mirroring the spiritual energy of the island. Each guest's wellness journey is expected to encompass a balancing welcome drink flavoured with rose petals, which have relaxing properties, and restorative experiences, including mystical sessions with Tibetan bells and a range of beauty treatments with rose essence products.

The concept for interior design, led by Patricia Anastassiadis, blends The Luxury Collection's authentic and experiential standards of luxury with Patmos Aktis' essence of simplicity. A soothing and calming colour palette of creams, whites and soft blue tones is set to be used throughout the resort. Local artwork and traditional Greek design touches are also slated to play an important role in referencing the island's ancestry and its beautiful, unique landscape.

Fringed with traditional fishing villages and secluded coves, the rugged coastline of Patmos offers the ultimate setting for complete relaxation, fostering a deep connection with the sea and the surrounding natural beauty of the island. At Patmos Aktis, guests can explore the unique volcanic landscape, with its ribbon of hiking trails, whitewashed hilltop villages and ancient monasteries, spend the day sailing between beaches and the nearby Arkoi islands for spots to swim and picnic on the sand, or learn the secrets of Greek cuisine with market tours and cooking classes.
