MGallery Collection opened Nírema Hotel & Spa Samos in September 2026 at the entrance of Vathy village on the Greek island of Samos. This addition expands MGallery’s Greek portfolio, which includes properties in Athens and Crete.
Hotel Features and Location
Nírema Hotel & Spa Samos has 72 rooms, including eight suites with private pools and expansive terraces. Positioned seafront, it offers views of the Aegean Sea, Vathy Bay, and the Ampelos hills. The hotel includes a private beachfront area reserved for guests and is located beside the Samos Wine Museum, integrating the island’s cultural heritage.

SWOT Hospitality Management, based in Athens, manages Nírema Hotel
& Spa Samos. The company specializes in hotel management, asset management, investment management, sales, marketing, and advisory services. SWOT aims to deliver experience-driven hotels that honor the destination’s character and heritage. The partnership with Accor’s MGallery Collection marks a key milestone in SWOT’s expansion in the luxury hospitality sector.
Dining and Wine Experiences
Dining options include a sea-view à la carte restaurant and a mixology-focused pool bar. The on-site wine cellar named Curvus showcases the island’s Muscat grape through curated tastings and pairings, connecting guests with Samos’s winemaking tradition. The hotel’s location adjacent to the Samos Wine Museum underlines this focus on local viticulture.

The hotel features a spa with a holistic wellbeing approach inspired by the island’s natural elements, a fitness center, and an outdoor pool. Guests have access to a private beachfront area with sunbeds and a beach bar. The Cup of Pythagoras, a signature experience in the Curvus wine cellar, offers a traditional Samian wine ritual using Pythagorean cups accompanied by local food pairings such as honey, olives, and herbs.
