Located in one of the last under-the-radar corners of Greece, near Kalamata in the southern Peloponnese, Neilson’s Buca Beach Club is a haven for water sports and spa lovers alike. Everything from dinghy sailing and windsurfing to water skiing is on offer here, and there’s a large wellness area with a sauna, steam room, plunge pools and treatments, too.
There are just 57 rooms, giving the sleek resort a distinctly boutique feel, plus a glorious glass-sided swimming pool with shaded cabanas for the ultimate lounging experience. Beyond Buca’s perimeter, you’ll also find plenty of sandy beaches, hidden coves, rural villages, archaeological sites and the spectacular Taygetus Mountains to explore.
