One Destination, Two Ways to Wander

 Greek Escapes for Curiosity and Calm

As demand grows for all-inclusive holidays that offer more than just convenience, two of Zeus International’s resorts in Greece are setting a new standard for purposeful, place-inspired travel. Mirabello Bay Luxury Resort in Crete and Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa Resort in Halkidiki cater to distinct summer mindsets—one for cultural exploration, the other for restorative stillness. 

Mirabello Bay introduces a new collection of spacious Signature Villas this season, ranging from 225 to 380 square meters. With private pools, sea-view terraces, and refined stone-and-wood interiors, these villas are designed for larger groups of up to 12 guests—ideal for family holidays, reunions, or friends travelling together. Guests booking the villas can also take advantage of the “Mirabello Exclusive Program” which includes a package of premium perks and access to a 2,000 m² VIP beach area for an elevated, private experience. 

For those drawn to authentic experiences, the resort offers a variety of curated activities that bring Crete’s heritage to life. These include sunset wine tastings in a natural cave at SPILIA - with family-friendly formats available - private Kaiki boat excursions to the nearby islands of Elounda and Mochlos, and off-road jeep safaris through the region’s rugged caves and gorges. Guests can also take part in cooking classes inside a traditional Mittato hut, visit local olive mills to taste small-batch oils, and craft herbal creams using techniques inspired by 4,500-year-old Minoan recipes at Bioaroma. 

Dining is wide-ranging and locally rooted, with 13 distinctive restaurants and bars on offer. Amalthea Main Restaurant serves Mediterranean and international cuisine via an extensive buffet. Bahia Mar Grill specialises in beachside barbecues featuring grilled meat and fish, while Mezedaki presents Greek-style meze platters designed for sharing. At Kafenion, guests enjoy classic, hearty taverna fare, complemented by live dancing shows that invite everyone to join the celebration. 

The experience continues beyond the table, with Blue Flag-awarded beaches, a family-friendly waterpark, and an open-air cinema where guests can watch films under the stars—creating opportunities for entertainment from morning through night. 

For those seeking serenity and stillness among Thessaloniki’s lush pine forests, Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa Resort offers a peaceful retreat designed for slow, mindful travel. Villas come with private gardens, expansive patios, and large pools, making them ideal for intimate gatherings or quiet escapes surrounded by nature. 

Wellness takes center stage at Ajul. The on-site spa blends ancient healing practices with modern luxury, offering massages and body treatments enriched with olive oil, honey, and shea butter sourced from the local region. Guests can unwind by an outdoor infinity pool with panoramic sea views or take time out in the tranquil indoor pool. The nearby Thermal Spa of Agia Paraskevi provides access to naturally healing spring waters, hydromassage pools, hammams, and saunas. 

Dining is unhurried and designed to complement the resort’s calming atmosphere. Thimari offers traditional Greek dishes accompanied by soft live music and views over the Aegean Sea, while Ambrosia delivers refined Italian cuisine ideal for romantic occasions or special celebrations. At sunset, Ananas Pool Bar serves creative cocktails in an open-plan setting, and themed evenings—ranging from Mythology Night to Disco Night—offering relaxed entertainment with a touch of theatre. 

A private pebble beach, reachable by resort buggy, provides secluded waterfront access. With on-site parking for rental cars, guests can easily explore the surrounding Halkidiki region, which offers everything from forest walks and mountain treks to coastal diving spots suitable for all experience levels. 

Whether you are chasing culture or carving out space to slow down, Mirabello Bay and Ajul offer tailored all-inclusive escapes designed around your pace. Visit the resort’s websites:
