Swimming pool at Brown Beach Chalkida
Both beach-front properties are located on Evia Island, just a one-hour drive from Athens.
ATHENS, GREECE – International hotel collection Brown Hotels has announced the opening of two new properties from its new four-star line of resorts: Brown Beach Eretria and Brown Beach Chalkida. Located on Evia Island, just a one hour drive from the city of Athens, the new “Brown Beach” branded resorts are the first to launch under the new sub-brand, with Brown Beach Eretria being the first ever property by the group to offer all-inclusive packages. Brown Beach Eretria and Brown Beach Chalkida join Brown Hotels’ growing portfolio of Greek properties, now totalling at nine, following the Athens-based Brown Acropol, Villa Brown Ermou, DAVE Red Athens, Lighthouse Athens, Kubic House, the new DAVE by the beach Loutraki, and the group’s first five-star property, Isla Brown Corinthia.
Known for its quirky, design-driven collection of boutique urban properties, Brown Hotels expanded into beach-side offerings earlier this summer with the launch of its inaugural resort, Isla Brown Corinthia. Brown Beach Eretria and Brown Beach Chalkida introduce a hospitality concept new to the group, presenting four-star, beach-front resorts both complete with swimming pools, a bar and restaurant, wellness centre, spa and events space. Brown Beach Eretria is home to the brand new “Blue Stories” water-sports centre by Brown Hotels, offering an extensive range of activities for both adults and children including water skiing, wakeboarding, diving, sup boarding, parasailing, and flyboarding, to name a few. Located on the increasingly popular Evia Island, just a one hour drive from Athens, the new Brown Beach resorts present the perfect getaway for international travellers and local Athenians alike, with Brown Beach Eretria providing additional leisure facilities and on-site entertainment, operating as the first all-inclusive resort by Brown Hotels.
Leon Avigad, founder of Brown Hotels, said: “Evia island is one of the largest and closest islands to Athens, yet still remains relatively unknown. Being so closely located to Athens, accessible by a one hour car drive, and with such a beautiful coastline, we saw an opportunity to invest in this untapped destination as domestic and international tourism continues to rise. The new Brown Beach resorts usher in a new hospitality offering to the Brown Hotels collection, and we’re excited to be diversifying and connecting with new audiences as the group expands”.
Brown Beach Eretria
Unique to the other Brown Hotels’ properties, the new Brown Beach Eretria is the first hotel by the international hotel group to offer in-house entertainment and extended leisure facilities, with all inclusive packages to suit every traveller. Situated on the water’s edge in Eretria town, just a 90 minute drive from Athens airport, Brown Beach Eretria presents the perfect destination to relax and unwind, offering spectacular 360 degree views of the Evian Gulf that stretch out across the hotel’s private beach. With two swimming pools, spa and wellness centre, gym, in-house entertainment programme, the Blue Stories water-sports centre and aqua park, events space, bar and all-day-dining restaurant, Brown Beach Eretria caters to the needs of each and every guest, for an effortless experience.
With a clean and minimalistic design aesthetic, the rooms at Brown Beach Eretria feature a calming colour palette of neutral hues with ochre and marine blue accents, natural materials and refined furnishings, for an atmosphere that encourages the ultimate tranquillity. Boasting 175 spacious rooms, guests can choose from the “Classic Garden View” and “Classic Sea View” sleeping up to three, or “Classic Partial Sea View” room, to suit their preference. All rooms at Brown Beach Eretria offer spacious balconies, complimentary high-speed WiFi, bathrobes and slippers and luxury bathroom amenities.
Brown Beach Chalkida
Brown Beach Chalkida presents the perfect weekend getaway, located on the Agios Minas beach at the entry point to Evia island, less than an hour’s drive from Athens. With picturesque sea views, 119 stylish rooms, swimming pool and pool bar, restaurant, tennis courts, gym, spa and wellness centre and events space, Brown Beach Chalkida is ideal for both couples and families looking for an easy-to-reach, beach-front retreat. Offering “Sea View”, “Garden View” or “Pool View” rooms, each room benefits from a balcony and is fitted out with complimentary high-speed WiFi, bathrobes and slippers and luxury bathroom amenities. Cultivating the “Brown Beach” aesthetic, the hotel’s interiors mimic those of Brown Beach Eretria, with similarly decorated stylish rooms boasting a neutral colour palette, clean lines and natural wood furnishings.
Brown Hotels, which operates 20 hotels in Israel and one property in Croatia, expanded into Greece in 2020 with its inaugural property Brown Acropol, a retro-style 165-room-and-suite hotel located on Athens’ Omonia Square. 2021 saw the arrival of Villa Brown Ermou, a cosy 51-room boutique property with Greco-French influences nestled in the picturesque Plaka neighbourhood of Athens, and DAVE Red Athens, an 87-room hotel with an industrial style interior design from the “DAVE” collection of affordable hotels. Lighthouse Athens, a contemporary, high-tempo 220-room on Omonia Square, Kubic House, a recently renovated 122-room “smart hotel” located next to the National Theatre of Athens, and Isla Brown Corinthia, the group’s first five-star beach-front resort also opened earlier this spring. The second Greek outpost of the group’s “DAVE” line, DAVE By The Beach Loutraki, opened this summer with 39 cheerful rooms located by the Loutraki coastline, and continuing to expand its portfolio, Brown Hotels seeks to spread the success of its devotion to service, design, creativity and style with the acquisition of further properties, totalling at 40 hotels across Greece by 2024.
