OUR STORY
​The Kertenia story began with the Kertens, a family whose passion for surfing, windsurfing, nature, and exploration led them on journeys across the globe.
After countless destinations worldwide, it was the timeless appeal of Greece and Portugal that forged their most profound connection through a shared love of watersports and natural beauty.
What started as personal journeys across these historic waters, evolved into a concept: to create exceptional retreats that would combine their love of watersports and nature with refined hospitality.
OUR VISION
At Kertenia, we have created exceptional sanctuaries where physical vitality and mental serenity converge naturally.
​
Our vision emerges from a deep understanding that true luxury lies in the harmonious balance between active pursuits and peaceful reflection.
We have thoughtfully crafted environments that honor individual journeys toward wellness and self-discovery.
​
Our properties seamlessly integrate transformative practices like yoga and water sports, with carefully considered spaces for quiet contemplation.
​
Each element of Kertenia has been chosen with intention, creating an atmosphere where guests can explore their potential through movement, stillness, activity and rest.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Kertenia, we believe that true luxury emerges from authenticity and connection - with nature, with oneself, and with the rhythms of coastal life.
​
Our approach to hospitality centers on creating environments where these connections can flourish naturally.
