Burberry has launched a seasonal partnership with One&Only Aesthesis, transforming the luxury resort into an immersive branded destination along the Athenian Riviera.
For the summer season, the property has been reimagined through Burberry’s design aesthetic, featuring a bespoke turquoise interpretation of the fashion house’s signature 'House Check' pattern. This visual identity has been integrated across a variety of guest-facing touchpoints, including the main pool area, landscaped gardens, tennis and paddle courts, bicycles, loungers, and resort transportation vehicles.
The collaboration aligns with One&Only Aesthesis’ focus on "celebrating the heritage and glamour of the Athenian Riviera, a destination known for its cultural significance and popularity during the mid-20th century." In addition to the resort-wide design transformation, guests can access personalized Burberry styling appointments before arrival to curate their travel wardrobes. Burberry’s '2026 High Summer' collection is also available throughout the property, creating a connection between luxury hospitality, retail, and experiential engagement.
