Such a beautiful resort! I’ll start by saying we booked something nearby and woke up and walked to the abaton and checked in. The hotel manager I think was a little shocked but she was the sweetest and got us in right away. Welcomed us and the aesthetics of the premises are top notch. Everything is finely crafted if you have an eye for small details this place is gorgeous. We took a room with a bathtub and we loved it. Very clean hotel and everyone is so nice. Breakfast is on such a high level. Restaurant dinner choices do feel a bit less quality but the sushi at Buddha bar was great but not the best. Pool is beautiful and the gym was also great but the gym does need some upgrades with equipment and new treadmills. I would come again if in the area. Very pretty and away from the crowded noise 10 minutes away in the city
The staff is perfect: especially: Claudia, Konstantinos, Polina, Nikos!
I spent six days at Abaton in July 2026, and I am still absolutely thrilled with my stay.
From the beautiful hotel itself to the wonderful food and the incredibly kind and attentive staff, everything made my stay truly special. There is such a warm and peaceful atmosphere throughout the resort that you immediately feel comfortable and welcome.
A very special thank you and a huge compliment to the wonderful yoga teacher. The yoga classes were one of the highlights of my stay and played a big part in helping me slow down, switch off and truly reconnect with myself.
For me, Abaton is a place where you can genuinely unwind and recharge. At the same time, there are plenty of opportunities to do different activities, so you can make your stay exactly what you need it to be – whether you want to relax, be active or simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
There is just one small suggestion I would like to share. What I personally felt was missing for an even more complete experience was a dedicated yoga shala or yoga room. During my stay, the yoga classes took place near the side entrance of the restaurant kitchen. Since yoga is such a beautiful and important part of the Abaton experience, I could imagine that having a dedicated, peaceful space for the classes would make the experience even more special. This is just a small personal idea, but perhaps it could be a lovely addition to an already wonderful concept.
Maybe this is also why it took me a little while to finally write my review. I wanted to hold on to the feeling I experienced during those six days and somehow keep it alive for a little longer. Even now, I can still remember that wonderful sense of peace and well-being I felt while being there.
Thank you to the entire Abaton team for such a beautiful and memorable stay. I felt completely at home and will remember my time at Abaton with great fondness.
Hopefully, we’ll see each other again next year!
The hotel is very nice. Exciting view from the terasse. I realy enjoyed the yoga lessons. The instructor was so lovely and shiny.
All our expectations of a 5 Star Hotel were fullfilled. Very friendly people and relaxing atmosphere. Yoga lessons were a beniftial extra benefit.
