Five years of restoration have turned a forgotten sanatorium into MANNA, one of Greece’s most luxurious escapes, in the mountains of Arcadia. Design teams K-Studio and Monogon Office of Architecture worked alongside archaeologists to preserve the listed building’s character while introducing contemporary interiors, with heritage architecture and modern design held in rare, intentional balance.
Beyond the walls, Arcadia lives up to its near-mythological reputation. Ancient fir forests, clear rivers, and mountain lakes form the backdrop for a wide range of activities, from mushroom foraging and horse riding to canoeing and mountain biking.
This is a landscape long associated with healing and freedom, and MANNA has built its philosophy around those qualities, with a wellness hub, a restaurant led by an award-winning chef, and 32 rooms across the restored 1929 building.
