Grecotel redefines the concept of the boutique hotel with the stunning Mandola Rosa – a name inspired by the cloud of pink that envelopes Ancient Olympia when the sacred grove’s glorious almond trees blossom.
Mandola Rosa conjures the glamour of Europe’s Belle Époque and has the easy, languid air of an aristocratic summer villa on the Riviera.
This private estate within the Olympia Riviera Resort huddles around a small hotel, with six suites in the central building and 10 more in each of the two wings flanking the columned façade.
Sixteen ultra-deluxe villas, each with a private pool, are scattered among the pines on a low shelf overhanging the thick golden sand of Kyllini’s beach.

Mandola Rosa’s 33 one-bedroom suites and two-bedroom villas are the ultimate in graceful living. Designed for supreme comfort, suites are individually furnished in an updated version of Belle Époque elegance.
High ceilings and terraces with arched porticoes recall the grandeur of 18th-century Europe. Antiques, original art, raw silk upholstery, and hand-crafted furniture enhance the feeling of being at home. Enveloped in greenery, each of Mandola Rosa’s splendid villas is an oasis of privacy.
These ultra-spacious exclusive hideaways are perfect for couples and families seeking to spend quality time together in an elegantly appointed residence while enjoying the services and amenities of a five-star-plus resort.
A Sanctuary for the Senses, a Balm for the Soul: Inspired by the Rotunda at Olympia nearby, ‘Elixir’ Thalassotherapy Center is designed like a complex of Greek temples. Illuminated in the evening, it harks back to the sanctuaries of Classical Greece. This luxury retreat combines the ages-old wisdom of the Greeks, who valued the healing properties of the sea, with modern wellness regimens to relax the body and rejuvenate the spirit.
The ‘Elixir’ Thalassotherapy Center has three wings. The central building is a rotunda, inspired by the temple Alexander the Great built at the sanctuary at nearby Ancient Olympia. A grand staircase sweeps up guests from the reception area into the spa’s inner sanctum – a suite of thirty elegantly-appointed private massage rooms, changing areas, showers, saunas, exercise rooms, steam rooms, and luxurious indoor and outdoor lounges where you relax between treatments.
The sanctuary design is part of the escapism of this fantasy setting and it’s hard not to feel like a goddess when you’re seated in an open-air whirlpool under the dome of a small temple. Spoil yourself completely with an open-air massage on the temple porch, discreetly screened by billowing curtains of filmy voile. The spa’s showstopper is the Aqua Elixir Thalasso Pool – more opulent than the grandest Roman thermae. Simply Divine!
