Who We Are:Extraordinary places, passionate people, and shared learning experiences: this is Aethos.
We believe that traveling and hospitality should leave a lasting positive impact on the mind, body, and soul.
That's the reason why we choose our locations very carefully and work together with people who want to be part of a community instead of just having a job.
Everyone who works at Aethos can make a personal impact on the community and company - great ideas can come from anywhere.
We are a young and dynamic hospitality company that understands the value of time with friends and loved ones.
We make a conscious choice towards sustainability and wellbeing, and the luxury of time and space.
We stand for freedom from the stresses and anxieties of modern life.
We want to be the first choice for anyone who seeks respite and refuge from the boring, the stressful, and the unsustainable.
That's why we define hospitality differently: while all of our decisions should be made with the community and needs of our guests in mind, we always strive to create a community that we want to be part of and that improves the world around us.
