Influenced by classical Greek architecture, the Amanzoe aesthetic is sleekly contemporary in style and attitude. Amanzoe’s entrance and reception areas overlook an expansive reflection pool, beyond which the library, boutique and gallery are set among terraces, courtyards and gardens joined by colonnaded walkways. The property offers a number of dining venues and lounges, all enjoying exceptional settings on the property.
Cabanas, pavilions and villas all offer private pools with stunning views and fragrant gardens, whilst speedboats await at the beach to zip between nearby islands.
Against a backdrop of dramatic mountains, cobalt seas and pristine beaches in secluded coves, Amanzoe finds seclusion amongst lavender scented gardens and olive groves. Follow paths that weave between the cypress trees to Private Villas, where marble floors are cool underfoot and colonnades echo a classic design that goes back thousands of years.
