Eagles Villas rises on a hillside of the Athos peninsula in Halkidiki, near the fishing village of Ouranoupoli and within sight of Mount Athos. Family-run, with 100 years of hospitality behind it, it is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World member and the villa enclave of the Eagles Resort, whose Eagles Palace finished a three-year renovation in May 2026. Each of the 42 villas has a heated private plunge pool, from Junior Villas for three to the 165-square-metre Residential Three-Bedroom Pool Villa, for eight. The Kids' Club takes children from four months to 12 years, with activities built around storytelling and nature, inspired by the childhood memories of Konstantinos Tornivoukas. Guests share the Palace's private sandy beach, which has held Blue Flag status for more than 30 years, along with three pools, water sports including PADI diving, tennis and a spa with a rasul mud chamber. Weddings are a strength, with the Theodora Hall for up to 150 guests, and the actress Vicky Krieps held her wedding weekend here in 2025. Dining spans Lofos, Eleonas for Italian cooking in high summer, and Kamares, the fine-dining restaurant at the Palace.
