Set south of Athens, on the shores of Lake Vouliagmeni, the Roc Club is all about framing that view. Oak-finished interiors are drenched in natural light, and private terraces put the Riviera’s glistening Aegean coastline on decadent display. For those who like their luxury, Astir Marina’s superyachts are an amble away, lauded chefs transform Attican ingredients into delight-prompting dishes on the rooftop and Helios shines bright over the pool — this celeb-drawing spot certainly knows how to work its angles.

Our favourite rooms

Every room at the Roc Club has its own private terrace, but the Club Deluxe Room takes the win for its uninterrupted Aegean and Astir Marina views. If you’re travelling as a four, the Club Suite has two bedrooms and doubles down on idyllic alfresco spots.

Poolside

Hail Helios from the outdoor pool (open from 11am to 7pm), a glimmering, sun-drenched spot etched into the coast with undisturbed views of the Astir Marina’s superyacht setting. And if you’re sensitive to this Greek god’s strength, lofty pine trees make for shaded idling.

Spa

There’s no spa here, but staff can arrange for masseurs to provide healing treatments in your room.

Make yourself at home with this glamorous Riviera crowd and bring your gold Grecian sandals and designer threads.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Any of the sea-facing alfresco seats up on the roof make for enviable evening spots.

Dress Code

Jackets and ties aren’t essential, but the rooftop restaurant does ask you bring your best threads out for dinner — save the boardies and beachwear for the poolside bar.

Hotel restaurant

There are two to pick from: a panoramic rooftop restaurant and casual lounge bar. If you’re after something easy, say bite-size burgers and all-day club sandwiches, then the latter delivers. For more of a formal evening affair, reserve a table on the rooftop for inventive Mediterranean plates and panoramic views of the Aegean and Laimos Bay. 

Hotel bar

Craft cocktails and light coastal bites fill menus at the pool bar, and at both restaurants there’s a lengthy list of local Hellenic wines to choose from, as well as beers and spirit-based concoctions.

Last orders

Breakfast is available at both restaurants between 7am and 10.30am and dinner is 6pm to 11pm. Lunch is served at the lounge bar from noon till 6pm, and the pool bar is open from 11am to 7pm.

Room service

Breakfast can be brought to your door from 7am to noon, and an all-day menu is available after that, until 11pm.

Address
The Roc Club
Panos & Chlois Street
Vouliagmeni

Greece

Gazing over the Saronic Gulf, the Roc Club rests in the Athens Riviera’s coastal town of Vouliagmeni, steps from its namesake lake and the yacht-lined Astir Marina.

Planes

Athens International Airport is your closest, with direct routes from Europe and the States’ busiest hubs. From the airport, it’s a 40-minute drive to the hotel and staff can arrange private transfers for an additional charge.

Automobiles

You shouldn’t need a car around town and traffic can be off-putting in Athens, so if you’re planning on visiting the capital, it’s best to hop in a taxi. For those exploring further afield and arriving with their own set of wheels, there’s free parking at the hotel.

Other

It’s superyachts only at nearby Astir Marina, so if you’re looking for somewhere to moor a smaller boat, book a spot at Varkiza Marina — around a five-minute drive away.

Worth getting out of bed for

You can leave the Greek guidebooks at home for this one — the Roc Club has a dedicated concierge team on hand to plan your excursions down to the last detail. A guided visit around Athens’ Acropolis brings its rich history into focus; enjoy personalised art tours around the city’s museums and watch the sun set over the Temple of Poseidon. If you’re more interested in literary legends, hop aboard a boat to the island of Hydra for a day trip around Leonard Cohen and Kenneth Koch’s old hangouts. For those most at home in the water, kayaking can take you to the Riviera’s secluded coves; you can scuba dive among ancient wrecks around Patroklos Island or cruise just offshore with a private boat tour. And for the oenophiles — local vineyards show off Greece’s terroir with enlightening wine tastings.

Local restaurants

You won’t struggle to find seafood around Vouliagmeni, and the Agora Riviera Restaurant is a fine introduction to this town’s coastal cuisine. Sample feta-filled spicy clams, grilled sea bream and garlic-dosed mussels as orange tints glimmer against the Aegean. In the Astir Marina, fine-dining restaurant Moorings brings a modern twist to Mediterranean fare, freshly prepared by head chef Kostas Lolas. For something more relaxed, Sardelaki me Thea’s locally loved seafood does Poseidon proud.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this coastal resort in Vouliagmeni and unpacked their designer shades and swimsuits, a full account of their Grecian break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside the Roc Club on the Athens Riviera…

In the 1960s, the 40-mile, sun-soaked Athens Riviera was a worthy rival to the Côte d’Azur for its flock of holidaying movie stars. These days, you won’t find Jackie O soaking in the storied waters of Lake Vouliagmeni as she did for many summers, but instead, the equally elegant Roc Club.

Much like the former first lady, you’ll be set to live a life of luxury. Personalised itineraries, an Aeagan-admiring pool, in-room massages and all the alfresco aperitifs you can handle will have you ensconced in the high life. But really the locale is this set’s shining star. Light-bathed lodgings are steps from Greece’s coveted beaches and Astir Marina, where superyachts are the norm and you won’t be hard pressed to find a scenic dinner spot. The hotel’s rooftop is the place to linger over seasonal Mediterranean fare and punchy cocktails, backdropped by sweeping views of Laimos Bay. Frills at the Roc Club may be distinctly 21st-century, but this is a polished retreat set to have enduring star power.
