The Margi, Athens, Greece

Mornings in Vouliagmeni smell like warm pine and sea salt.

Tucked a short stroll from the sandy curve of the bay, The Margi is a sun-drenched modern, design hideaway with 89 rooms & suites wrapped around lantern-lit pools and leafy patios.

It feels like a Mediterranean home—terracotta, rattan, linen—and the Athenian Riviera as your backyard.

What Makes It Special

• Leafy pool courtyard with cabanas and candlelit evenings that feel like a private villa
• Farm-to-table cuisine sourced from the hotel’s own farm; slow, generous breakfasts and long, coastal suppers
• Spa & fitness spaces for breezy resets between beach hours and city forays
• Riviera location: easy walk to Vouliagmeni Beach and a quick hop to the Lake and seaside promenades
• Warm, residential design—earthy textures, soft light, and balconies that sip the afternoon breeze

A Day at The Margi

Morning

Espresso and still-warm koulouri by the pool, cicadas trilling in the pines. Wander down to the bay; the water is glassy and cool, perfect for an unhurried swim.

Afternoon

Back at the courtyard, pages turn in the shade while ice knocks the glass. Lunch is day-catch with lemon and capers, tomatoes that taste like sun, olive oil from the hotel’s farm. A rosemary-oil massage resets everything.

Evening

Golden hour rinses the Riviera in honey. Dress light and stroll the promenade, then return for a lantern-lit table: grilled octopus, crisp Attican white, sea breeze in the palms.

Night

From your balcony, you hear the hush of the coast and a soft clink from the bar; the stone still holds a little warmth from the day.

Insider Tips for The Margi

• Breakfast—eat outside by the pool if weather allows.\
• Book spa/sauna on arrival to secure slots.
• The private beach access the hotel uses is cleaner than public (small extra fee).
• If you want views + quiet, ask for high floor forest-view (trade sea for serenity).
