Guests and staff at luxury Greek resort escape wildfire unhurt

"All guests and staff were safely and swiftly moved to alternative accommodation. We are very grateful to the local authorities who worked tirelessly to contain the fire and who remain on site to continue to monitor the situation.

"This morning (Tuesday 5 July), we can confirm that the extent of the fire is not as bad as initially feared. We are relieved to report that all main areas of the hotel have been preserved, with exterior damage to just a limited number of pavilions, while all villas remain intact. Sections of the surrounding landscape have been impacted."

Operations at Amanzoe have been suspending pending further assessments. The spokesperson said Aman wanted to thank guests for their understanding. Those with imminent reservations are being contacted, with further updates to follow "in due course".
