| Samos is the 8th largest Greek Isle and the landscape is breathtaking with two mountains, Kerkis standing at 1443 meters
(higher than Ben Nevis) and Ambrelos measuring 1160 meters. This creates a stunning backdrop for the
coastline and also creates the opportunity for outdoor pursuits such as rock
climbing, walking and mountain biking.
There is plenty to do on the island - Samos had the largest
ancient temple in Greece, The Temple of Hera. Samos has 2 cities which make way for plenty of shops, restaurants
and waterfront bars with pretty fishing villages leading to cobbled
backstreets. Food is a social
event where meals can sometimes last 6 hours.
Access to Samos is excellent, with Direct flights from the
UK in peak season and connecting flights from Athens. Samos also has 2 ferry terminals. It’s worth bearing in mind that only 11% of tourism is currently
made up from us Brits with a staggering 40% of Samos tourism being from the
Greeks themselves. Other key markets include Scandinavia, Germany, The Netherlands and Austria – all have direct access to Samos.
There is currently only one 5* hotel on the island, The
Doryssa Bay, leaving visitors no other choice in luxury accommodation. The 5 star hotel runs at an occupancy
rate of 83% (an independent hotel and therefore currently only open 214 days
per year) so this proves there is high demand. This is one of the reasons the government are providing the
maximum subsidy towards the build cost here – 46%!!
The good news is that Halcyon Hills has seen high demand
from Greek buyers based in Athens.
This shows that there is a strong local market which is a good sign that
the islands property market isn’t an artificial bubble inflated by foreign
investors.
The Resort...
Halcyon Hills is a 5 star hotel resort being developed on
the south east coast of Samos. The resort will be finished to an exceptional
standard (we need to deliver on this promise to gain the
maximum subsidy allowance)
The resort is front-line, on 120,000sq meters of land with an
incline of 50m from the beach to the top of the resort where the main
facilities are located which will all benefit from the superb views.
The resort is made up of only 209 units in total, properties
range from studios at £176,000, ranging up to 3 bed premier villas at £735,000.
There are no blocks of apartments planned on this resort, just small clusters
of properties grouped together to give a more exclusive’ village hub’ feel. No two properties will be the same; each property will look
different and be a differing size.
All will benefit from a sea view which will reach over towards the coast
of Turkey.
The resort is centred on the world class spa and the 36
birth marina, large enough to accommodate super yachts. The
spa is designed by Blue Spa and will be managed by them on-going. The spa’s ‘piece de la resistance’ is the infinity pool with
amazing views. Signature
treatments will be on offer in the 7 indoor/outdoor treatment rooms offering unrivalled
views.
The resort will be managed by a leading hotel group (to be
announced). Click here for Brochure
