Accor, the global hospitality giant, has announced the signing of the Mövenpick Resort Agios Nikolaos Sivota, marking Mövenpick’s much-anticipated entry into Greece. Scheduled to open in Spring 2025, the resort will be operated by Pitoulis S.A., a leading player in Greek hospitality.
Nestled in the breathtaking Epirus region, the resort promises a luxurious and immersive experience for travellers, blending Mövenpick’s signature culinary excellence with the timeless charm of Sivota. The property will feature 67 elegant accommodations, including deluxe and executive suites with private pools and patios. Guests can enjoy two swimming pools overlooking the Ionian Sea, along with dedicated family and adult-only areas, creating an oasis for relaxation.
A Culinary Destination in the Making
True to Mövenpick’s reputation, the resort will feature an exceptional culinary offering. Dining options will include: ‘Skipper’s Beach Bar’, perfect for seaside refreshments, ‘Island’s Bar’, an idyllic poolside retreat and the ‘Thalassa Restaurant’, showcasing Greek and Mediterranean cuisine crafted from fresh, local ingredients.
A Legacy of Hospitality and a New Chapter
The Agios Nikolaos Hotel, established by the Pitoulis family in 1996, has long been a symbol of quality and warmth in Sivota. Starting as a boutique property with just 40 rooms, it has grown into a cherished landmark in the region. Now, through its partnership with Mövenpick, the hotel is set to evolve into a world-class retreat while preserving its rich heritage.
“This collaboration represents an extraordinary opportunity to share the essence of Sivota with a global audience,” said Vassilis Pitoulis, co-founder of Pitoulis S.A. “We are proud to build on our family’s legacy, ensuring the region’s beauty and culture shine while evolving our hotel to meet the standards of a world-class brand.”
Bringing Greece to the World Stage
At the signing ceremony, Patrick Mendes, Accor’s CEO for Premium, Midscale & Economy brands in Europe and North Africa, highlighted the significance of this milestone: “The signing of our first Mövenpick address in Greece marks a significant moment in our expansion within this vibrant and culturally rich country. Mövenpick Resort Agios Nikolaos Sivota will perfectly exemplify the brand’s ethos, blending culinary excellence, human connection, and sustainability.”
Mövenpick’s Global Heritage
Founded in 1948, Mövenpick is celebrated for revolutionising the Swiss restaurant scene and expanding into an international hotel brand with over 120 properties worldwide. The brand’s focus on inventive cuisine and meaningful human connections continues to shape its identity, and the Sivota resort will embody these values while spotlighting the beauty and culture of Epirus.
As the opening date approaches, the partnership between Mövenpick and Pitoulis S.A. signals a new chapter for Greek hospitality, blending tradition with innovation to create an unforgettable destination for travellers.
