Six Senses Porto Heli adds desalination plant and staff housing in new study

A revised Environmental Impact Study for Six Senses Porto Heli, in the Hermionida region, reveals the infrastructure that will make it functionally self-sufficient. The project, previously known as Infinity, is being developed by Costa Perla S.A. on the site of the former Costa Perla hotel, which operated until 2009.

The approved plan provides for 271 beds in total: a 171-bed hotel, 12 tourist residences with 100 beds, and a wellness center for 100 people. Six Senses presents the resort with around 60 rooms, one retreat villa and 12 branded residences. The plot was expanded to 103,862 square meters without increasing tourist capacity.

The study includes a staff accommodation complex of 113 rooms and 225 beds across three buildings, a seawater desalination plant with estimated daily demand of about 210 cubic meters, and photovoltaic panels on parking pergolas with annual output of about 425,000 kilowatt-hours. Along the coastline, five piers totaling 146 meters and coastal protection works are planned, with no commercial marina created.

The construction and environmental scope of the revised study amounts to 60 million euros, financed 40% by equity and 60% by investor capital. The total contractual scope of builder EKTER reached 101.07 million euros plus VAT, while financing of 95 million euros has been secured from Piraeus Bank. The investment scheme includes CBE Capital, Golden Land Goutos, Taconic Capital Advisors and Cedar Capital Partners.

Work began in July 2025, with the construction program expected to be completed gradually by March 2028.
