Eagles Palace Hotel & Spa

Eagles Palace Hotel & Spa

Eagles Palace sits on Halkidiki's third peninsula, four kilometres from Ouranoupoli and next to the monastic state of Mount Athos. The 153 rooms across seven floors range from garden-view doubles to bungalows with their own pool, up to a two-bedroom suite that sleeps four adults. What sets it apart from other luxury resorts on this coast is exclusive access to a private beach on the uninhabited island of Drenia, complete with umbrellas and sunbeds, on top of the resort's own Blue Flag sandy shore. Four restaurants and four bars mean dinner does not repeat itself over a week's stay, and the Elemis spa gives a reason to linger past the eleven o'clock checkout. A diving centre on site covers water sports from windsurfing to snorkelling for the more active guests, while a Kids Club run by Worldwide Kids staff frees up parents for a morning at the gym or on the tennis court. The hotel has been run by the same family since 1925, and that heritage shows in a working chapel set among the gardens, an organic farm guests can walk through, and a library alongside the more usual lobby bar. The seasonal outdoor pool runs only from May to September, so anyone chasing total quiet should aim for the shoulder months rather than peak summer. Families and honeymooners who want both activity and a genuine spa get an unusually complete answer in one address. Green Key certification confirms the sustainability claims are audited, not just marketing.
