Dexamenes Seaside Hotel in the Peloponnese has reopened for the 2026 season with eight new Seaview Terrace Suites and an expanded, experience-led dining program anchored by dex.Silo.01.
The News
Dexamenes Seaside Hotel, a Design Hotels member on Greece’s western coast, is reopening for the 2026 season with new accommodation and a reworked culinary lineup. The property, created from a former wine factory by entrepreneur and hotelier Nikos Karaflos and designed by K-Studio, first opened in 2019 with suites set inside restored fermentation tanks and social spaces embedded in the site’s industrial infrastructure.
The latest addition is a new set of eight Seaview Terrace Suites, built as an elevated structure above the existing concrete tanks. Alongside the room expansion, the hotel is extending its dex.Silo.01 dining concept with a new summer experience, Tomato, and adding further programming including a planned wine and food pairing in the hotel’s vineyard.
Design & Atmosphere
The new Seaview Terrace Suites stay close to Dexamenes’ original language: postwar concrete, restrained detailing, and a disciplined material palette that keeps the architecture legible. Each suite is conceived for threshold living, with folding floor-to-ceiling windows that open the room to a wide veranda. A timber canopy, pergola-like in proportion, is designed to read as a light plane hovering above the terrace.
At the outer edge, a slim water channel acts as a framing device, pulling the eye toward the horizon line. Inside, the layout remains deliberately pared back: an open wardrobe system, a bathroom screened by textured glass, and a quiet emphasis on light, air, and the long view over the Ionian Sea.

The Experience
Dexamenes’ food program continues to treat dining as a cultural format rather than a default resort amenity. The 1920s silo tank, operating as dex.Silo.01, hosts curated fine dining suppers developed with consultant chef Gikas Xenakis. Existing experiences include Traditional, Illegal, which examines how certain traditional and sustainable food practices have been restricted by modern regulation; Zymosis, a thematic exploration of fermentation that ties directly to the site’s winemaking past; and Full Moon, No Moon, staged only on full or new moons and structured around a site-specific projection and soundscape.
New for summer 2026 is Tomato, a menu built around one of Greece’s defining ingredients, approached through regional varieties and technique-focused interpretations of familiar dishes including yemista and hondromenoudelo. The hotel also plans a wine and food pairing in the Dexamenes vineyard, alongside continuing food-led programming positioned as a form of cultural inquiry.
TheHotelTrotter Insider Tip
Book the Seaview Terrace Suites for late afternoon light and privacy on the veranda, and time a dex.Silo.01 dinner for a full or new moon date if the Full Moon, No Moon experience is running during your stay.
