Paradise Resort Evia, member of Radisson Individuals, brings a large-scale beach resort to Greece | News
Radisson Hotel Group announces the opening of Paradise Resort Evia, member of Radisson Individuals, a 322-room beachfront resort in Eretria on the island of Evia, Greece. The resort is the brand’s first in Greece and strengthens Radisson Hotel Group’s growing presence in Mediterranean leisure destinations. Located less than two hours’ drive from Athens, the resort combines direct access to the Aegean beach, extensive wellness and sports facilities, five dining and bar locations and flexible meeting and event spaces in one of Greece’s most accessible island destinations.
The opening comes as Evia gains visibility among international travelers looking for a more authentic Greek island experience outside the country’s traditional tourist hotspots. As demand grows for destinations that combine nature, culture, accessibility and lower-density travel experiences, Evia has emerged as one of Greece’s most attractive alternatives, with mountain villages, thermal springs, ancient archaeological sites and an extensive coastline within easy reach of Athens.
“Evia is one of Greece’s most attractive emerging resort destinations, offering the authenticity, accessibility and natural beauty that today’s travelers are increasingly seeking,” said Joep Peeters, Chief Operating Officer Franchise EMEA, Radisson Hotel Group. “We are delighted to welcome Paradise Resort Evia to the Radisson Individuals portfolio as the brand’s first resort in Greece. The opening reflects our continued focus on expanding into high-potential Mediterranean leisure destinations and introducing guests to places with a strong sense of identity and discovery.”

Located on the beach along the Eretria-Aliveri Road on Evia’s west coast, the resort places guests within easy reach of some of the island’s most emblematic cultural and natural attractions. The Archaeological Museum of Eretria is a 5-minute drive from the resort, while the waterfront town of Chalkida and the famous tidal phenomenon of Evripos Bridge can be reached in about 25 minutes by car. The thermal springs of Edipsos and the mountain village of Steni Dirfyos offer day trips that connect visitors with the island’s natural landscape and cultural heritage.
