MANNA

MANNA is a new luxury mountain retreat, a member of Design Hotels, that is open all year round and is located in the heart of the Peloponnese, just 2 hours from Athens and 1 hour from Kalamata. At an altitude of 1200m. in Mount Mainalos, it invites guests to experience authentic Greece beyond the obvious!

Surrounded by a landscape that has been considered an earthly paradise since antiquity and situated within a historically preserved building, MANNA is a newly opened luxury mountain retreat in Arcadia, Greece. Replete with Yoga, multiple cozy fireplaces, a serene Wellness & Spa, Sauna in the forest, a Cave Pool, an architectural concept and entirely bespoke furnishings by K-Studio, and farm-to-table cuisine conceived by award-winning Greek chef Athinagoras Kostakos, the hotel offers a place to refresh, reset, and reengage with one’s mind, body, soul, and earthly surroundings.

It is a historic listed building of unique architecture which has been declared a protected monument dating back to the 1920s, named after Anna Mela, who was an aristocrat of the time, who dedicated her life towards the treatment of wounded soldiers. Due to her philanthropic work she was named 'Mother of the Soldier', as MANNA means Mother in Greek! Now a luxury mountain sanctuary, this stunning neoclassical building is set in a secluded natural paradise; a haven for wellness and outdoor adventure. MANNA opened in late 2023, and is now a Rejuvenating Greek Mountain Retreat in the Arcadian Forest that invites guests to slow down and connect with time, nature and oneself!
