Athenian Riviera Opulence: Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens
Athens, Greece
On the edge of Athens, overlooking the Aegean Sea, the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens invites guests into a refined seaside sanctuary that spans history, landscape and hospitality excellence. Located in Vouliagmeni, Attica Region, the resort is approximately 30 minutes from Athens city-centre and the international airport — offering a balance of coastal tranquillity and connection to Greece’s ancient capital. 
Location, Atmosphere & Heritage
Originating as the famed Astir Palace resort in the 1960s, the property has been revitalised under the Four Seasons brand to reflect contemporary luxury while preserving its legacy of Mediterranean glamour. 
The hotel sits across expansive grounds on a pine-lined peninsula, with sweeping sea views, a long boardwalk, and full access to the water. Notably, it offers three private beaches, making it a standout among coastal resorts. 
Accommodation & Design
The resort features 303 rooms, suites, bungalows and villas, according to Forbes.  Many accommodations enjoy sea- or garden-views, private terraces or plunge pools, and thoughtful interiors that blend Greek seaside elegance with modern luxury. Design credits include Meyer Davis Studio for interiors.  Guests often highlight the sense of space, privacy and view as key strengths.
Dining, Wellness & Activities
Dining is elevated and diverse: the resort houses multiple restaurants and bars — including fine-dining, traditional Greek cuisine and beachfront options. For instance, one of the highlight restaurants is Pelagos, offering Mediterranean-inspired seafood with sea views. 
Wellness and activity options are extensive:
• A full-service spa with hydrotherapy zone, indoor pool, adult-only areas and sea-facing treatment rooms. 
• Water-based recreation: kayaking, snorkeling, sailing off the private beach boardwalk. 
• Sports facilities: tennis courts, padel, jogging trails, kids club, yacht/jet holiday experiences. 
Why Stay Here
For travellers seeking a resort-style stay near Athens but with full luxury retreat amenities, this property delivers:
• Private-beach resort on the Aegean, yet accessible from the city.
• Strong blend of leisure culture (sun, sea, sports) with a high-end hotel experience.
• Suitable for couples, families, and those looking for both relaxation and onsite activity.
• Especially recommended for those who appreciate modern design, wellness, and the Athenian Riviera lifestyle.
