Grace Hotels has announced plans for a new beachfront luxury hotel development in the Peloponnese region of Greece to open in 2017.

The 125-bedroom hotel, to be located near the city of Kalamata, will include a spa and wellness centre offering a range of treatments, a gym, two restaurants, conference facilities, water sport facilities and children’s facilities.

The hotel will be built on 300m (984ft) of secluded beachfront and will be located around 20km (12.4m) west of Kalamata.

“This resort is a perfect destination for a Grace hotel. It is in an authentic and charming town and has a beautiful beach frontage, yet it is within easy reach of Athens,” said Lena Livanidou, head of Mediterranean & Africa for Grace Hotels. “Lovers of Greece and Greek history will relish the variety of cultural and leisure experiences that a mainland destination like Kalamata can offer.”

Grace Kalamata will be the fourth development of the Grace Hotels Group in Greece with the Grace Mykonos and Grace Santorini already established, while the Grace Kea is currently under development.
