Hotel Synopsis
Déum Zante is an upgraded accommodation option in the popular area of Tsilivi Zakynthos, which combines high-end facilities and laid-back luxury service with a unique experience concept around outdoor living within a Mediterranean Garden. Bringing Nature to the heart of its premises, Déum shapes a unique set of experiences that take place mostly in the exterior spaces of the hotel, thus allowing its guests to live the true meaning of Greek Summer.
The 'Outdoor Lifestyle' mentality starts at the hotel’s rooms & suites, most of which have spacious exterior spaces — balconies, verandas, terraces, or even private yards and gardens. Moreover, many room types feature upgraded private facilities, such as private pools and hot tubs, while, in addition to regular patio furniture like tables and chairs, the rooms offer even greater comfort via hammocks, hanging chairs, and day beds. The hotel’s common-use facilities also take advantage of the extended outdoor spaces, like the Verde Buffet Restaurant with an exterior sitting space within the lush gardens, the main Azzurro Pool with the comfortable loungers and cabanas, as well as the Rooftop Wellness area with the al-fresco massages, yoga, and meditation, in front of an exceptional view.
Food is an integral part of the Déum experience, dominating all aspects of a guest’s stay. From the exceptionally rich breakfast buffet to the sumptuous lunch & dinner buffets, the Verde Buffet Restaurant is the main reference point for all guests, either staying on a Bed & Breakfast, a Half Board, or an upgraded All-Inclusive basis. On the other hand, the Marrone à la carte Restaurant offers the opportunity to stay and non-staying guests to taste even more upgraded dishes of local Zakynthian & Greek cuisine. The food experience continues at the main Azzurro Pool & Pool Bar, where the guests are able to enjoy an all-day Pool Brunch menu with light snacks, drinks, and cocktails, while for those who value their privacy, even more, the dedicated In-Room Dining menu is an excellent choice. But the local food experience does not end there, since Déum makes sure to offer a selection of local products such as wines, beers, and snacks through the upgraded mini-bar in all the rooms and suites, while the weekly Sunday BBQ within the main Garden, resembles one of the most popular Greek habits!
Valuing Wellness & Rejuvenation as an integral part of any holiday trip, Déum offers an entire building of relevant facilities and services, open to staying and non-staying guests. Calma Wellness & Fitness center features a fully-equipped gym on the ground floor, indoor rooms for massages (single & couple), and beauty therapies, as well as an open-air rooftop with specified spots for massages, yoga, meditation, and even relaxation with detox drinks and beverages.
Moreover, Déum offers an additional, guests-only space for relaxation and rejuvenation, with an indoor heated pool, a hammam, and a relax zone. Of course, wellness can be found in literally every corner of Déum, since the guests have the chance to relax and unwind within the gardens, anytime they wish to do so.
Authenticity and Honesty are among the hotel’s main pillars, that shape the overall guest experience, and that aim to satisfy Déum’s greatest goal: to offer to all of its guests Unique, Unforgettable, and Real Greek Holidays!
