As the only 5* hotel in the island, the services offered are designed to meet the highest and most strict demands. For this reason and since the beginning of the pandemic, Aegialis Hotel & Spa underwent a thorough inspection on its hotel grounds and the staff received additional training in order to be completely aligned with the current health and safety protocols, thus making it one of the very first businesses in Greece to have been certified with the Covid-Shield by TUV AUSTRIA.
Every year the hotel undergoes several thorough renovations, making it an exciting destination for new and repeated guests who are always finding something new to experience. Over the past 2 years, the lounge and restaurant areas went through a major renovation, with the introduction of the brand new Apeiro lounge bar and a completely updated restaurant area, both of which feature large glass panels that offer breathtaking views of the Aegean.
