A sophisticated luxury resort on Ouranoupoli beach, the gateway village to Mount Athos. Eagles Palace offers stunning sea views, a private beach, spa, and multiple dining options in a tranquil setting away from the more crowded parts of Halkidiki.
Eagles Palace Hotel occupies a prime beachfront position in Ouranoupoli, the last inhabited village before the restricted monastic peninsula of Mount Athos, in the Halkidiki region of Central Macedonia, Greece. Set approximately 130 kilometres southeast of Thessaloniki, the resort places guests within reach of the regional capital while maintaining a secluded, tranquil atmosphere that is rare in Halkidiki during the summer season. Ouranoupoli village is a compact coastal settlement with a 14th-century Byzantine tower as its principal landmark, and the hotel grounds extend to the edge of the settlement with the Aegean Sea forming its eastern boundary. The property carries more than 50 years of hospitality history under the stewardship of the family-owned Eagles group, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Architecture reflects a Mediterranean character — low-rise stone-clad buildings set within landscaped gardens of olive trees, fragrant herbs, and ornamental plantings that slope gently toward the water. The atmosphere is one of unhurried refinement rather than resort-scale activity. Accommodation comprises 152 rooms, suites, and beach bungalows. Deluxe double rooms offer garden or sea views with marble bathrooms and premium furnishings including Nespresso machines and bathrobes. One- and two-bedroom suites expand on this with separate living areas and enhanced privacy. Beach bungalows occupy the most coveted positions directly at the water's edge, with private terraces and immediate beach access. A standout amenity is the hotel's exclusive arrangement with nearby Drenia Island: complimentary boat transfers take guests to the island's pristine secluded shore, reserved entirely for Eagles Palace guests. Dining is extensive and of high quality. The flagship Kamares Restaurant is a seafront venue awarded two FNL Stars at the 2025 FNL Best Restaurant Awards, serving contemporary Mediterranean and Greek cuisine. Almyra specialises in fresh seafood and fish preparations. Eleonas offers farm-to-table dinners beneath olive-tree canopies, drawing produce from the resort's own organic garden. Seven restaurants and five bars in total serve the property, alongside a café with outdoor terrace seating, the Cabin Bar lounge, and sommelier-led Greek wine-tasting sessions. The award-winning Eagles Spa draws on ancient Greek healing traditions, with facilities including an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and a comprehensive range of holistic body treatments. Outdoor heated pools, water sports including sea kayaking and yachting, fitness programmes, and outdoor yoga complement the private beach experience. Service reflects the family-ownership ethos: personalised and attentive, with a concierge team experienced in arranging Mount Athos coastal boat tours, Thessaloniki day trips, and cultural excursions to traditional Halkidiki villages. A Kids Club operated by Worldwide Kids caters to families, while the quality of the spa, dining, and accommodation equally draws couples and small groups seeking a refined retreat on one of Greece's most distinctive coastlines.
