Drawing its name from the Sanskrit word for ‘peace’ and ‘zoe’, the Greek word for ‘life’, Amanzoe lies within easy reach of a wealth of archaeological sites and is a stones throw from the cosmopolitan island of Spetses. Perched on a hilltop overlooking the coastline of the Peloponnese Peninsula, the resort offers 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside as it cascades down to the Aegean Sea. Pavilions and villas all offer private pools with stunning views and fragrant gardens, whilst speedboats await at the beach to zip between nearby islands.
