Hyatt Hotels Corporation debuts its Destination by Hyatt brand in Greece with the opening of a new resort in the north. Opened on May 23, 2025, Zélia Halkidiki sits on the Kassandra peninsula, known for its calm surroundings, olive groves, and picturesque coast. With a focus on adults, the resort has 104 rooms and suites styled in a modern, nature-inspired way. Found near traditional villages and popular local spots, it allows visitors to experience the region’s cultural and natural heritage.

The resort features a variety of wellness and dining options inspired by local traditions. Its facilities feature a spa with a heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, and treatment rooms. The cuisine centers around fresh, seasonal produce. Travelers get to try a mix of Mediterranean tastes, unique Japanese-Peruvian fusion, and fresh farm-to-table dishes made with ingredients straight from the resort’s olive grove. Activities like yoga, Pilates, and outdoor excursions are available to encourage both relaxation and active connection with the environment.

Just a short drive from the resort is Afytos, a picturesque village known for its preserved stone architecture and panoramic views of the Toroneos Gulf. Guests have the chance to explore cobbled lanes, visit Mosaico Gallery, and eat at small family-owned tavernas perched above the cliffs. Close to the resort, Nea Moudania is Halkidiki’s biggest town, known for its bustling seafront promenade, fresh seafood markets, and beaches suited for swimming and water sports.

Nature lovers can visit Possidi Cape nearby, a beautiful stretch of white sand reaching into the Aegean Sea, perfect for long walks plus stunning sunsets. Not far from the resort is the Petralona Cave, a significant archaeological site where visitors can see prehistoric formations and fossils. Nearby is the ancient city of Olynthos, where visitors can explore the ruins of classical-era homes and discover the origins of urban planning in Macedonia.

Hyatt’s entry into the region signals a rising focus on the largely unexplored opportunities in northern Greece. This development may help promote more balanced tourism across the country while boosting the local economy. For travelers looking for something new, Zélia Halkidiki offers a chance to experience a quieter and more authentic side of Greece where comfort meets wellness and local charm.
