Amanzoe - the real star of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

The number one Netflix film this Christmas and New Year is the Daniel Craig whodunnit - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

But where was Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery filmed? The movie is set on a fictitious island in Greece but one of the world's finest resorts - Amanzoe - is the actual backdrop!

Enjoying a secluded hilltop position with panoramic views of the Peloponnese countryside with abundant olive groves, vineyards and cypress trees, the classically inspired yet sleekly contemporary Amanzoe - part of Aman Hotels & Resorts - is the ultimate luxury escape for those aspiring to a Grecian private retreat. The resort offers 52 understated luxury pavilions and villas each with their own private pools, set over a 96 hectare estate – all with superb views over the countryside or an azure-blue Aegean Sea.

With six restaurants and bars including The Amphitheatre – that boasts a Greek degustation menu, The Restaurant for contemporary Greek and Mediterranean cuisine and Nama for sophisticated Japanese fine dining. Amanzoe offers a 25-metre main pool at the heart of the resort and at the Beach Club just minutes’ drive from the resort, facilities include a dining area; two lap pools and two children’s pools; non-motorised water sports; a spa treatment room; a small gym and a boutique with a range of beachwear and accessories.

At the main hotel, the 2,850 square metre Spa offers an extensive menu of ancient Greek beauty rituals with Asian techniques and the Aman skincare product range in six treatment rooms, some with steam rooms, a Thai massage room, Watsu pool, a hair salon and a finishing salon. Changing areas feature hammams, sauna, cold plunge pools and steam rooms. The property also offers a fully equipped gym, a Pilates and yoga studio, two hard-court floodlit tennis courts, a two-story marble library with over 1,000 books, a youth centre and a boutique.

You will see much of the hotel in the film! Also, the beautiful island of Spetses is also featured in Glass Onion - just a short yacht ride from Amanzoe.

Glass Onion - which also stars Edward Norton and Kate Hudson - is the sequel to Knives Out - which was a huge international hit in 2019.
