Greece continues to captivate travelers with its sun-drenched islands, turquoise waters, ancient traditions and famously warm hospitality. For those planning a Mediterranean getaway in 2027, Greek hotel group ZEUS is offering five compelling reasons to explore some of the country’s most beautiful coastal destinations.
Following an extensive rebranding initiative, renovations and the introduction of new villas, swimming pools and family-friendly amenities, ZEUS has unveiled a refreshed collection of five luxury resorts across Crete, Halkidiki and Kos.
Each property offers a distinctive interpretation of the Greek vacation experience, whether that means escaping to a secluded adults-only sanctuary, enjoying a sophisticated beachfront retreat or discovering a resort designed for memorable family adventures.
Crete: Luxury Living Along Mirabello Bay
ZEUS Eleva Mirabello Bay
Agios Nikolaos, Crete
Situated between the picturesque towns of Agios Nikolaos and Elounda, ZEUS Eleva Mirabello Bay is the flagship five-star property of the ZEUS Eleva collection.
Overlooking the sparkling waters of Mirabello Bay, the resort combines contemporary luxury with a spectacular coastal setting. Guests have access to two Blue Flag beaches and a private marina, making it an appealing destination for travelers who enjoy spending time on and around the water.
The accommodations are equally impressive, with more than 120 rooms, suites and villas featuring private or plunge pools. Five exclusive Signature Villas occupy an elevated hillside position, offering sweeping views across the bay.
Families will appreciate the resort’s new water park, while adults seeking a quieter experience can retreat to a dedicated adults-only swimming pool.
Beyond the resort, guests can immerse themselves in traditional Cretan culture. Experiences include joining local fishermen aboard a traditional kaiki fishing boat before enjoying freshly prepared kakavia fish soup on a secluded beach.
Authentic Greek flavors are also part of the experience, with traditional meze, raki and live Cretan lyra music at Kafenion, alongside Greek wine tastings at Spilia overlooking the bay.
ZEUS Eleva Miraya
Mirabello Bay, Crete
For travelers who prefer a more intimate atmosphere, ZEUS Eleva Miraya offers a luxurious adults-only escape just one minute from its larger sister resort.
Reserved for guests aged 18 and older, this five-star boutique property features only 42 rooms and suites, almost all enjoying beautiful views across Mirabello Bay.
Its smaller size creates a more peaceful and personalized environment, particularly appealing to couples seeking romance, relaxation and a quieter Mediterranean vacation.
One of Miraya’s greatest advantages is the combination of boutique hotel intimacy with access to the extensive facilities and experiences available at neighboring ZEUS Eleva Mirabello Bay.
Halkidiki: Lagoon Pools, Pine Forests and Coastal Escapes

On Greece’s scenic Kassandra Peninsula, ZEUS Eleva Kassandra Lagoon introduces a distinctive approach to luxury resort living.
Located in the seaside village of Hanioti, the five-star boutique hotel is centered around a collection of beautifully designed lagoon-style swimming pools.
Circular seating areas and comfortable daybeds positioned directly in the water create an inviting environment for long, leisurely afternoons beneath the Mediterranean sun.
Accommodations include stylish rooms and loft suites, many featuring private or jetted pools for additional privacy and relaxation.
The hotel’s location also makes it easy to experience the surrounding destination. Hanioti’s village promenade is just steps away, offering opportunities to explore the local atmosphere beyond the resort.
ZEUS Eleva Ajul
Agia Paraskevi, Halkidiki
Surrounded by fragrant pine forests above the village of Agia Paraskevi, ZEUS Eleva Ajul offers a different kind of Greek resort experience, combining natural beauty, wellness and activities for the entire family.
The five-star property features 166 rooms, bungalows, suites and villas, providing a variety of accommodations for couples, families and groups traveling together.
With seven outdoor swimming pools, a water park, sports courts and an all-inclusive program, guests have plenty of opportunities to enjoy their vacation without leaving the property.
Wellness is another important part of the experience. The nearby village of Agia Paraskevi has been celebrated since antiquity for its healing waters, a tradition that continues to influence the resort’s spa experience.
The peaceful forest setting provides a refreshing contrast to Greece’s more traditional beachfront resorts, making ZEUS Eleva Ajul an attractive choice for travelers who appreciate both outdoor recreation and relaxation.
Kos: A Refreshed All-Inclusive Beachfront Escape
ZEUS Kos Beach
Mastichari, Kos
On the beautiful island of Kos, ZEUS Kos Beach has undergone a comprehensive transformation into a five-star all-inclusive resort.
Located near the traditional fishing village of Mastichari, just 12 minutes from Kos Airport, the property offers a convenient introduction to island life.
All 100 rooms and suites have been fully renovated, complemented by a redesigned reception area, a new main swimming pool and Meltemi, an open-air Greek restaurant that celebrates the pleasures of Mediterranean dining.
The resort’s coastal location also provides an ideal starting point for exploring the surrounding islands. From nearby Mastichari harbor, travelers can embark on island-hopping excursions and discover more of the region’s distinctive landscapes and communities.
With its combination of updated accommodations, beachfront surroundings and all-inclusive convenience, ZEUS Kos Beach is positioned as an appealing option for travelers looking for a relaxing Greek island vacation.
Authentic Experiences Beyond the Resort
While each ZEUS property offers its own amenities and accommodations, the collection also highlights the cultural experiences that make traveling through Greece so memorable.
Guests can discover traditional fishing techniques along the Cretan coastline, enjoy regional food and wine accompanied by local music, explore the longstanding wellness traditions of Halkidiki or set sail from Kos to experience neighboring islands.
These opportunities reflect a growing interest in vacations that combine luxurious accommodations with authentic connections to the destinations travelers visit.
The collection also caters to weddings, celebrations, retreats and group travel. ZEUS Eleva Mirabello Bay features a spacious conference hall, private marina and hillside villas, while ZEUS Eleva Ajul offers extensive event facilities. The smaller properties provide attractive settings for more intimate gatherings and destination celebrations.
