Overview
Set at the foot of the spectacular Taygetos Mountains, the luxurious Grecotel Filoxenia Kalamata lies on the outskirts of Kalamata in the Peloponnese region of Greece. The property is surrounded by exotic gardens that edge a gorgeous, pebbled beach on the azure Messinian Gulf. The hotel boasts elegant rooms with beautiful views, gourmet cuisine, two bars and three pools – including an outdoor pool, a kids’ pool and an indoor pool with a hydromassage tub. The intimate atmosphere is ideal for couples and families alike with an on-site spa and tennis court, as well as kids’ clubs for younger children and teens.
Unlike most hotels in the area, Grecotel Filoxenia Kalamata affords direct access to the picturesque Kalamata Beach, which curves along the Ionian coastline towards Kalamata town. You can walk down the beach or jump on a local bus to reach the town centre, around three miles away, where you’ll find a charming historic quarter awash with churches, museums and souvenir shops. You can also reach the small villages and breathtaking walking trails of the Mani Peninsula in about two hours by car. The region is known for producing Kalamata olives, so you might want to book a tour at one of the local factories. Kalamata International Airport is situated less than ten miles west from the property.
The spacious rooms are decorated in a contemporary Mediterranean style, with calming natural tones, cool tiled floors and wood and wicker furnishings. They all provide a private balcony or terrace with garden, pool or sea views. Classic Jardin rooms are situated on the main building’s ground floor and open onto a covered veranda, with direct access to the hotel’s exotic gardens. If you seek extra space, the open-plan family rooms comprise a combined living and sleeping space with a king-size bed and bunkbeds. Alternatively, families can choose a larger Master Family room, which features a separate bedroom-suite and a living room with a sofa bed.
