Map & location
Stoupa, Peloponnese, Greece
Kolokotronis Hotel & Spa sits on a tranquil hillside just above the coastal road in Stoupa, surrounded by olive groves and backed by the dramatic Taygetos Mountains. From here you’re perfectly placed to enjoy the gentle curve of Stoupa’s sandy bay and nearby Kalogria Beach, while still feeling tucked away from any seafront bustle.
The resort itself is classic, laid-back Mani: seafront tavernas, low-rise buildings and glowing sunsets over the Messinian Gulf. Venture inland for walking trails, mountain villages and historic sites, or head along the coast for boat trips and hidden coves.
- Beach 400m
- bars and tavernas 500m

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s outdoor saltwater pool is the focal point of the complex, edged by sunbeds and parasols and oriented to make the most of those big sea and sunset views. A shallow children’s section lets little ones paddle close by, while grown-ups can stretch out on the terrace or retreat to the bar for a cool drink. Pool towels are available (local charge may apply), and facilities can vary by season.
Down the hill, around 400m away, you’ll find Stoupa’s sandy beach – ideal for safe swimming, paddling and simply wandering along the waterfront between cafés and tavernas. Kalogria Beach is also close by for a change of scenery and clear, shallow water.

Resort insights – Stoupa & the Mani Peninsula

– Language: Greek
– Currency: Euro (€)
