Amanzoe

Edward Tuttle, the architect behind the original Amanpuri, drew Amanzoe from the temple and the agora: flat roofs carried on slender colonnades, a long reflecting pool, terraces that open to the olive groves and the Aegean beyond. It is the most overtly architectural of Aman's Greek ventures, a deliberate echo of antiquity that risks coldness and, by most accounts, largely avoids it.

The landscape, by the Athens studio Doxiadis+, does the quiet work. Rather than impose on the hill, the planting lets the buildings settle into the slope, so that the colonnades read less as a statement than as something the ridge had been waiting for all along.

Accommodation runs to thirty-eight freestanding Pavilions, each with its own pool, alongside beachfront units and a group of multi-bedroom Villas. A spa of some 2,850 square metres and a private Beach Club in a sheltered bay anchor the wider estate, a short descent from the ridge to the water.

The scale is considerable, yet the plan keeps each Pavilion to itself. Privacy here is structural, written into the spacing of the buildings rather than promised in a brochure.

Eating here is deliberately plural. A main restaurant handles Mediterranean and Greek cooking; a poolside venue turns to washoku, Japanese, by night; and down at the Beach Club, Nura is a Mediterranean grill and seafood room with the water at its edge.

It is a programme built for long stays, where the point is variety across a week rather than a single defining meal. On the record, it reads as competent and considered, in keeping with the address.
