Eagles Palace
Ouranoupolis | Halkidiki, Greece
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An enchanting hideaway on the Athos peninsula, Eagles Palace blends old-world elegance with beachfront barefoot luxury.

With two shimmering outdoor pools, a refined spa, standout gastronomy and bungalows with private pools, this is one of Halkidiki’s most sophisticated choices for couples and discerning families.
Framed by Mount Athos, fragrant gardens and clear Aegean waters, Eagles Palace feels more private estate than hotel.

For couples and families who want Greece’s authentic charm wrapped in polished service, Eagles Palace is a standout on the Athos peninsula.

Location | Eagles Palace
Location
Set on the edge of the Athos peninsula, Eagles Palace enjoys a peaceful, almost island-like setting close to the historic village of Ouranoupolis. The sandy shore in front of the hotel has coveted Blue Flag status, with cinematic sunsets and views towards Ammouliani island and the Drenia islets.
The resort of Ouranoupolis itself feels charmingly unspoilt – think cobbled streets, Prosforio Tower standing guard over the harbour, and boats heading out daily towards Mount Athos and neighbouring islands. From here it’s easy to combine days on the beach with culture, boat trips and little tavernas serving local seafood and meze.
