This summer, Nikki Beach Hospitality Group is inviting travelers to discover two very different sides of Greece—one defined by the vibrant social energy of Santorini and the other by the quiet sophistication of Porto Heli. With Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Porto Heli reopening on May 12 and Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Santorini welcoming guests back on May 20, the brand is shaping a summer season centered on elevated dining, curated experiences, and a more intentional approach to coastal living.
Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Santorini
Open: May 20
Close: October 11
While Santorini is often associated with dramatic caldera views and honeymoon-worthy hideaways, Nikki Beach offers a fresh perspective on the island from its sunrise-facing eastern coastline. As the island’s only luxury resort featuring both a private beach and dedicated beach club, the property delivers a distinctive experience that blends barefoot luxury with music-driven beach culture and sweeping views of the Aegean Sea.
Guests can move between the lively atmosphere of Nikki Beach Santorini and the more laid-back setting of the hotel pool, which offers a quieter, family-friendly alternative. Guest rooms and suites reflect the island’s signature aesthetic, pairing clean design with a strong connection to Santorini’s natural surroundings.
This season’s programming brings a fresh energy to the resort, with experiences designed to capture the spirit of Greek summer. Midweek events like Spritz Escape offer poolside Aperol cocktails, while Summer Club highlights family-style dining paired with regional wines. As the weekend approaches, the atmosphere ramps up with signature events including Disco Daydream, Saturdance, and the brand’s well-known Amazing Sundays.
Dining also plays a major role in the experience, with menus showcasing fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Guests can expect dishes such as Santorinian tomato fritters served with herbs and Greek yogurt, traditional Greek salads made with vine-ripened produce, and fresh seafood specialties including calamari, octopus, and locally caught fish.

For travelers seeking a quieter Greek escape, Porto Heli offers a more relaxed alternative. Located along the Argolic Gulf, roughly two and a half hours from Athens, this lesser-known destination has long attracted in-the-know travelers looking for privacy, beautiful coastlines, and a slower pace of life. Just a short boat ride away, Spetses adds another layer of charm to the experience.
At the resort, guests can spend their days moving between the private beach and oceanfront pool, with panoramic sea views at every turn. Dining remains a focal point, from casual lunches by the water to sunset cocktails at Qurio Rooftop Bar, where a refreshed Greek-inspired menu includes dishes like grilled sourdough topped with tirokafteri, cured pork, and cherry tomatoes.
Wellness is another standout, with treatments at Idolo Nikki Spa inspired by ancient Greek healing traditions. Accommodations, including private beach villas and bungalows, are designed to feel spacious and residential—ideal for families, groups, or travelers planning an extended stay.
Whether travelers are drawn to the high-energy beach scene of Santorini or the peaceful elegance of Porto Heli, Nikki Beach Hospitality Group is offering two distinct ways to experience Greece this summer—each with its own rhythm, personality, and unforgettable views.
