Proteas Blu Resort

Proteas Blu Resort is an adults-only resort in Pythagoreio, with 112 rooms spread across two floors and a direct position beside the sea. Children aged 15 and under are not admitted, so the setting is geared towards grown-up stays rather than family logistics, pool noise and someone else's inflatable flamingo.

You can move between the beach, the pool, the spa and several dining spaces without turning the evening into an expedition. The hotel team speaks English, French, German and Italian, which makes the practical conversations around meals, rooms and arrangements straightforward. Wi-Fi is free, and the resort also belongs to Marriott Hotels & Resorts.

The resort stands in Pythagoreio, on the Greek island of Samos, directly beside the sea. Its private sandy beach has sun loungers and parasols, so you can go from your room to the shoreline without needing a vehicle or a complicated plan.

Pythagoreio town is close enough for a look around, while Glicorisa Beach and Patmos Port are among the nearby places of interest. The airport is about 15 minutes away by car. Airport transfers are available, and car hire is also offered if you want to explore further across Samos.

The accommodation covers standard rooms, suites, cottages and bungalows, with several categories oriented towards the sea, the water or the pool. If the view matters to you, the sea-view rooms, suites and bungalows put that choice at the centre of the booking rather than leaving it to chance. For a solo stay, single rooms and single bungalows are available; couples can choose double rooms, suites or bungalows with a double bed or twin beds.

Balconies feature in selected standard rooms, suites and bungalows. A suite with balcony includes air conditioning, a fridge, minibar, safe, television, Wi-Fi, bathrobe and slippers, while a sea-view bungalow with balcony carries a similar set of practical comforts. These are the details that matter when wet kit, salt and a long day have left you wanting a cool room and somewhere to sit before dinner.

Private bathrooms run across the accommodation range. Selected rooms and bungalows include air conditioning, while suites and bungalows are also available with views over the sea or pool. Soundproofed rooms and room service are part of the hotel facilities, with room service available around the clock. The resort also offers a honeymoon suite for a more special occasion.

Dinner gives you several different directions. Panorama International Restaurant works with international cuisine and a sea view, while ΘαλαSEA Fish & Oyster Restaurant focuses on seafood in an atmospheric setting. Π2 Theory Greek Creative Cuisine takes the meal outdoors, with Greek cooking under the moonlight. Smart casual dress applies across these evening restaurants, so flip-flops straight from the beach may need a tactical retreat to the room.

Simplicity Pool Restaurant covers breakfast, lunch and dinner beside the pool, with juices, cocktails and spirits alongside the food. At Cavo Pountes Beach Club, dinner is served on the beach, while cocktails and finger food are available from early morning until late at night. The resort also has two named bars: Lush Pool Bar for cocktails by the pool and Esperos Lounge Bar for all-day lounging in the lobby.

Breakfast is available, including a buffet option, and breakfast can be served in your room. The exact meal arrangement depends on the booking details, so check whether your stay includes breakfast or another board option before confirming. Room service runs 24 hours, useful when the appetite arrives after the restaurant has stopped taking orders.

The infinity pool is the obvious place for a slow afternoon, with views towards the caldera and space to swim or sunbathe. The resort also has indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a spa bath, beach and pool equipment, and beach towels. With a private sandy beach immediately beside the property, the simplest plan may remain the most effective one: swim, dry off, read, repeat.

The spa offers massages, facial treatments and a private cave hammam with aromatherapy. A fitness centre, yoga and meditation facilities give you something more structured when sitting still becomes surprisingly difficult, and the resort also has a tennis court, fitness equipment, windsurfing and snorkelling. A library, garden, terrace, solarium and picnic area cover the quieter end of the afternoon.

The hotel has a 24-hour reception, concierge, car hire, laundry and dry-cleaning services, as well as a shop and an exchange bureau. Accessible facilities, a lift and wheelchair access are also available.

Check-in runs from 14:00 to midnight, with check-out by 11:00. The reception operates around the clock, and express check-in and check-out are available.

Airport transfers can be arranged through the hotel, either privately or as a shared service depending on the available option. The airport is about 15 minutes away by car, and free parking is available if you hire a vehicle or arrive by car. Car hire can also be arranged at the resort.

Free Wi-Fi covers the property, while air conditioning is available in the resort and in selected room categories. Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Diners Club are accepted. The hotel is non-smoking in its accommodation, with designated smoking areas elsewhere, and pets, including assistance animals, are not accepted.
