The impressive 5-star luxury hotel GRIFID Noa, newly built in the summer of 2024, captivates with its minimalist design in harmony with natural materials. The hotel features 503 rooms distributed across the new 12-story building and the annex building, which was renovated in winter 24/25. The standard rooms (D/DMS/DF2/DF3) are located in the annex. The bright and spacious lobby offers a 24-hour reception with a welcome area, elevators, guest service provided by the "Grifid Angels," and a tasteful lobby bar, the "LIVING ROOM BAR" (approx. 3:00 PM – 2:00 AM). As an additional highlight, the hotel offers an exclusive Signature SplenDOOR floor with an adults-only (16+) relaxation concept featuring swim-up rooms, as well as a fascinating adults-only area (for all hotel guests 16+) on the rooftop terrace with an infinity pool and a sky bar for special moments of well-being (sun umbrellas, sun loungers, and pool towels included). On the 11th floor, you can enjoy an exclusive panoramic view of the sea in the "Cigar Bar" (16+) (open from approx. 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM).
There is also a beach club with a pool (16+) on the beach. On the 2nd floor, there is a relaxation pool with sea views and sun loungers in the water (water depth 0.6 m) as well as a champagne/sparkling wine bar (sun loungers, sun umbrellas, and bath towels are also included here). Another swimming pool, a children's pool with slides (approx. 40 cm deep), the Moonshine bar, and a "Waffle & Donut Station" are located directly on the beach. One sun umbrella and two loungers per room are included on the beach (only for 2 full-paying guests and subject to availability). Lifeguard service is available at every pool (except the relaxation pool). The heated indoor pool (12+) and a whirlpool (16+) with a breathtaking sea view are a wonderful alternative for cooler days in the off-season. For our very youngest guests, there is a special highlight: the indoor pool basin with a depth of approx. 50 cm and a slide.
Culinary-wise, the hotel leaves nothing to be desired in the two main restaurants (divided by room category) with open-air terraces, as well as in the 5 à la carte restaurants.
