Aegialis Hotel & Spa

It is a good hotel but, with all due respect, I cannot see the 5 stars ! Rooms are good and have nice over the bay, unfortunately several problems reg. hot water and air conditioning (heating part) occurred. Food in restaurant is fair but has little Greek touch. On the positive side, I would stress the courtesy and friendliness of the staff, be it at the reception, the restaurant, or house keepers.

This was a beautiful hotel with excellent service. It seems to cater to large American groups that are there either for weddings or especially for yoga. This means that it is much louder in the dining areas than normal because of large group tables. It also feels overwhelming to be with groups if you are just a couple.

Nice property. Very helpful staff. Room nice but bathroom and shower extra small.

The hotel was absolutely beautiful. The staff was accommodating, friendly, and professional.

This was my 2nd time staying at Aegialis Hotel & Spa. My first trip was in May for a yoga retreat, which exceeded my expectations. This time it was a solo trip to just relax. The staff always surprises me at how friendly and hospitable they are. And it is in every single department...from reception, concierge, restaurant, spa, house keeping...each person wants to make you feel right at home. And that is what they all did. Anything I needed and asked for was taken care of. My room was amazing - the best balcony I could ever want (big enough for me to practice yoga on or just bathe in the sun), comfy bed, a place for me to work remotely (which I had to do for a couple of hours at the end of my trip), and great bathroom with spa-like shower. The best part was that even though I was not there for a yoga retreat, the staff made sure to find me a yoga shala for me to practice my yoga in whenever I wanted. I also want to point out that this hotel & spa is a great destination for anyone. Yes, they do host a number of yoga retreats, but there is plenty to do on Amorgos if you are not there for yoga. The hotel has a number of different excursions for anyone to partake in, and they will take care of all of the details for you. This place has become my second home and the staff is my chosen family. I will continue to return to this specific hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

IF you don’t end up in the one unpleasant yoga shala, this is a stunning place to do yoga. All the Yoga shalas, except one, have beautiful views and big open floor to ceiling windows for fresh air and sea breezes and the sounds of nature. If this is important to you, do not book a yoga retreat here unless you can be assured you group will not be assigned to the Elyssia shala. All the groups get to rotate through the rooftop yoga location. The spot is really fun, unique, and quite a special experience. Chances are your group will only be assigned to the rooftop a couple of times, and that is OK because it can get to be too much sun exposure. Overall, the food is really good, (and I have quite high standards). They say that some of the produce is sourced from their garden, but from what I saw, I am doubtful very much of it actually is. It would be nice if it was labeled. They offer some excursions. The Amrgan experience sounded pretty awesome, but a bit expensive for what you get. The yacht experience was really fun, but definitely very overpriced for what you get. The monastery and beach swimming excursion was free for our group, and was well worth the time. Tholaria and Lagada are adorable little authentic villages just a few kilometers away. Be sure to visit them. You can rent a scooter down near the pier - about a 15 minute walk. We upgraded to the deluxe room and it was very nice to have a big shaded patio. The staff is incredibly wonderful and quick to meet your every need. After dinner, one evening, they did traditional Greek music and dancing and that was a total blast. I hear great things about the spa, but my massage was just average. They put you in some sort of machine for the detox massage, which was cold and hard, and Certainly not relaxing or enjoyable. In the massage part of it was pretty average technique. Overall, this is an incredibly special place with special people. Just beware of the Yoga shala situation. If you are an experienced hiker, there is a good trail from Tholaria down to a beach. Look on AllTrails.

It's a lovely resort with delicious food, wonderful massage and spa treatments and incredibly responsive and kind staff. There are incredible views of the sea everywhere you turn. The yoga rooms are very well-equipped. Perfect place for a yoga or wellness retreat.
