Seaside escape honouring Greece's heritage
Set within a wooded, beachfront estate on the west coast of the Peloponnese region, the Grecotel LUXME Oasis at Riviera Olympia Aqua Park delivers fun, relaxation and luxury in equal measure. It’s perfectly set up for all types of travellers, boasting a whole host of fantastic amenities geared towards all different age groups to ensure an unforgettable Greek holiday experience.
For starters, it’s got a two-kilometre, Blue Flag beach right on its doorstep with clear, shallow water that’s perfect for cooling off in. That’s just one of many inviting swimming spots throughout the complex, which features six pools of all shapes and sizes, including an adventure pool with a lazy river and water slides, an exotic, saltwater pool surrounded by palm trees, a freshwater main pool, and an indoor pool that’s heated during May and October.
The star of the show, however, might just be the mega water park, which is the largest in a Greek resort and comes packed to the rafters with exhilarating rides guaranteed to get the adrenalin pumping – as well as plenty of gentler ones offering a more leisurely kind of fun. Add in all kinds of daily activities, ranging from beach volleyball and water polo to yoga and Pilates, and you’ll find a seemingly endless number of ways to spend your time here. The same applies to children and teens, too, thanks to the superb entertainment programme at the Grecoland kids' clubs.
And when you’re in the mood to take it easy and indulge in some soothing downtime, the Elixir Alchemy Spa is the place to be – a luxurious complex inspired by ancient Greek temples which houses an Aqua Elixir hydrotherapy indoor pool with jets, massage stations, currents and waterfalls. There's also a cool plunge pool, two open-air whirlpools, 26 massage rooms (private and outdoor), a ftiness room with cardio equipment and lots more.
At meal times, you’ll also be spoilt for choice – the restaurant scene here is seriously impressive. There’s bound to be plenty that takes your fancy at The Seasons buffet restaurant, while the taverna offers an authentic Greek dining experience on a delightful sea view terrace. Other must-try venues include the Italian trattoria, the food court, the hot stone restaurant and the Asian restaurant, as well as a gelateria and a creperie. Plus, you'll get the opportunity to dine out in a local taverna*, too. You’ll find bars in the lobby, at the beach and by the poolside, so whether you’re after a morning coffee or a pre-dinner cocktail, there’s no shortage of options.
When it's time to call it a day, head back to your roo. Bathed in natural light, the rooms at the Grecotel LUXME Oasis are spacious and come with floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as sea or garden views. There's plenty of choice, and whether you opt for a family room, a bungalow, a maisonette, or one of the luxurious beachfront villas, you'll be in for a treat.
Please note that due to the layout of the hotel, public areas and rooms may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.

Find out more about Kyllini
If you’re looking to balance beach time with a little history, you’re in luck. This pocket of the Peloponnese is riddled with traces of ancient civilisations. South of Kyllini, you’ll find the legendary Ancient Olympia, where the Olympic Games happened for over a thousand years, and from the Frankish Castle of Chlemoutsi, you can catch views across Kefalonia.
