Experience elaborate architectural design in a piece of history at Tainaron blue - a fabulous hotel in a converted Tower of Mani set by azure shores on the southernmost tip of mainland Greece.
  • Sleeps: 2, 3 or 4 per room
  • Bedrooms: 4
  • Bathroom: 1 per room
  • Minimum stay: 2 nights

The stone Towers of Mani were originally built as points of defence, thanks to their enviable vantage point overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the southern slope of Taygetos Mountain. Today, Tainaron Blue Retreat invites you to experience those sensational views for yourself – all the while relaxing in the lap of luxury at this exclusive hideaway.

A painstaking renovation has revived the stone tower of Tainaron Blue Retreat to its original appearance, all the while incorporating exquisite design and restful interiors inside. With four idyllic rooms, you and your companions will feel truly spoiled by the attentive staff as you begin to unwind away from the crowds and bustle of larger hotels.

Whether you’re watching the sun as it sets over the sea, or rising early to catch the first rays of light spreading across the Peloponnese coast, indulge in breath-taking scenery and a sense of pure serenity. A hydrotherapy infinity pool invites guests to cool off in bliss, while stylish poolside loungers tempt you to relax in the Mediterranean sunshine.

There’s also a fabulous restaurant for hotel guests exclusively to indulge in sumptuous Greek gastronomy – an intimate space on a first-door terrace overlooking the coast and sea. As the sun goes down before your very eyes, enjoy mouth-watering dishes made from delectable local ingredients, paired with a selection of excellent wines.

Inside Tainaron Blue Retreat, another world awaits – as it’s here you’ll find the truly magnificent bedrooms. Throughout the tower, exposed stone walls blend with touches of natural wood and bespoke metalwork, creating an unmatchable blend of historical and contemporary ambience.

A traditional narrow staircase takes you from the cosy reception/kitchen area up to the spectacular Master Suite, which spreads across the top two floors of the tower and offers the most fabulous sea view. With two utterly wonderful double beds – one in the main bedroom and one in the loft above, accessed via a beautiful boat ladder – it’s perfectly sized for a family. The private bathroom features a small bathtub, fluffy robes and slippers. You’ll even find a small wooden balcony for basking in the warm Mediterranean breeze.

The equally refined remaining bedrooms are found on the ground floor – two stunning rooms with magnificent vaulted ceilings and the added benefit of a connecting door for larger groups of guests. The Junior Suite sleeps two adults and one child between a double bed and a totally unique single bed, built into the stone wall! With the mountain and garden view, easy access to the patio and a bathroom with a glass shower cabin, you’re guaranteed total indulgence.

What the guests of Tainaron Blue say

“My decision to book for the third season in a row is probably one of the easiest decisions I’ll make this year! You have a very, very special place that for whatever reason has deeply touched my soul. I’m not usually one for great sentiment however Tainaron Blue has a quality about it that I’ve not found at any other place I’ve visited. I wasn’t joking either when I said that the moment you step through those gates something happens…..it truly is like the burden of work/life that you’ve been carrying with you for the year is lifted. It’s very hard to put into words but the sense of calm and serenity (coupled with incredible food & hospitality of course) is second to none.
I’m already counting the days until I’ll be back.”
Tom M, London

“We still look back very fondly on our time with you and feel very privileged to have spent our honeymoon in your incredibly curated oasis.”
