Four Seasons resort at Hinitsa Bay might just become the best escape near the Aegean Sea

Four Seasons recently announced its plans for an exclusive resort and residential development at Hinitsa Bay, Porto Heli, Greece — an ambitious project in collaboration with Hinitsa Bay Holdings to redefine luxury on Greece’s southeastern coast with stunning bay views, top-tier amenities, and unparalleled service. Located in a prime area of Porto Heli, the new Four Seasons Resort and Residences Porto Heli will transform a sprawling 185-acre beachfront estate into a destination that embodies refined elegance and modern convenience. Guests and residents will enjoy breathtaking views of the Argolic Gulf and the picturesque island of Spetses, along with direct access to the pristine coastline.

The project promises 80 elegantly designed guest rooms and suites, along with 30 bungalows and branded residential villas. These offerings will be seamlessly integrated into the estate’s expansive natural landscape, which includes more than 3 kilometers of coastline. The resort’s design will honor the area’s natural beauty while introducing modern elements that align with Four Seasons’ reputation for excellence.

The resort will offer a diverse range of facilities tailored to guests of all ages and interests. Highlights include the Kids For All Seasons program, a multi-sports center, state-of-the-art gym, meeting spaces, and dedicated pools for adults, families, and children. Dining options will be equally impressive, with several venues featuring fresh local ingredients and innovative culinary concepts. Guests can look forward to an all-day restaurant, a beachfront dining experience, and a stylish lobby lounge.

“This development marks an exciting milestone in our efforts to expand in Greece,” said Bart Carnahan, President of Global Business Development at Four Seasons. “Porto Heli is poised to become a premier Mediterranean destination, and this resort will reflect our dedication to delivering world-class service, unmatched quality, and personalized experiences.”

Wellness is at the heart of the new resort, with a 3.25-acre garden housing an expansive spa that connects guests with nature. The spa will feature 18 treatment rooms, a thermal suite with saunas and steam rooms, hot and cold plunge pools, and a saltwater pool. Complementing these are fitness and movement facilities designed to promote a sense of balance and tranquility.

Known for its evolution from a quaint fishing village to a vibrant luxury destination, Porto Heli offers an ideal mix of natural beauty and cultural richness. Idyllic beaches and elegant villas attract discerning travelers, while its proximity to iconic locations such as the islands of Spetses, Hydra, and Poros, as well as the UNESCO-listed Ancient Theater of Epidaurus, adds to its appeal. The historic town of Nafplion, another nearby highlight, further enriches the cultural offerings of the region.

The landscapes of Porto Heli—characterized by lush greenery, turquoise waters, and dramatic coastlines—are complemented by modern amenities, including vibrant nightlife and sophisticated real estate developments. With its accessibility from Athens by car, helicopter, ferry, or private boat, the area is a convenient and desirable retreat for both international visitors and locals seeking a luxurious getaway.

Paul Coulson, Chairman of Hinitsa Bay Holdings, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the area’s character while introducing Four Seasons’ hallmark luxury. “Our goal is to blend the timeless appeal of Hinitsa Bay with the modern standards of excellence that Four Seasons represents,” he said.

The addition of Four Seasons Resort and Residences Porto Heli will join an impressive lineup of Four Seasons properties in Greece. This includes the award-winning Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens, known for its modern elegance and coastal charm, and the forthcoming Four Seasons Resort Mykonos, set to open in 2025.
