Crete / The Island Concept

White Cycladic style offset by dashes of dazzling blue; this boutique hotel brings a surprising ‘Santorini with the sand’ experience, for cosy couple moments and champagne celebrations.

Santorini has long wrapped rings around lovers’ hearts; but with this coastal Crete jewel capturing all its romantic radiance in the privacy of a luscious green peninsula; it’s bound to get even the loyalist fans turning their heads. Striking a balance between stunning sea views on all three sides and an intimate alcove-bay that adds a little Cretan spark, the landscape is open but the feeling is intimate. Surrounded by traditional white powder walls that create a shaded embrace for each of the rooms, this is all about those moments where you lean back, look around, and let your love shine. 

Travel notes:

  • 15 individual rooms available during the summer months
  • Take over exclusively as a 15-room villa for larger parties and events for the remainder of the year
  • Private, secluded sandy alcove-bay, with a lively public beach offering watersports just a five-minute walk away
  • Outdoor heated pool and spa including signature treatments in collaboration with Germaine de Capuccini
  • All day restaurant serving traditional Cretan food
  • Activities in the local areas include hiking, sailing, wine tours and a boat trip to Spinalonga Island

A sense of place

Pops of colour spark along flower-lined pathways, in this boutique haven that’s so perfectly stacked together, the panoramic sea-view is soaked in with every turn. It’s fresh, stylish and gloriously Greek; accessorised, of course, with traditional line-painted vases, swinging chairs, and abstract fabrics that each create imaginative stories (we love the one that looks like birds taking flight). As the stars come up, so too does the twinkling pool light and the chance to take a wander down stone-lined steps to a moon-lit sea view.

In pursuit of…

undisturbed intimacy. Relaxed, tranquil, still. There’s twice as many helping hands as guests here, so you can focus on the seamless bonding with the loved ones you came with. Flourishing in everything from the 24-hour room service to its exclusive and secluded spaces; everything feels comfortable and well-cared for. Whether this be in your two-person cubby hole at the spa, or on your private patch of sand for the day; this is where eye-catching glances are never lost, but warmy recognised. 

"A salt-tinged taste lives at the tip of your tongue, in this stay that plays by the rhythm of the sea."

Wake up here

A sprinkling of Greek island names, signified by an atoll motif, is the first indicator of each room’s unique perks and quirks. All seamlessly slotted together yet occupying their individual patch, the choice is made on what matters most. In the Aegean Suite, this could be the extra space to lounge around, while the Mykonos Suite promises a sea-view bed-vista from your waking moment. Mostly decked out with their own pool or jacuzzi, plus a little canopy and loungers to lay out in the shade, each makes up one small-slice of a sanctuary-pie.

On location

A salt-tinged taste lives at the tip of your tongue, in this stay that plays by the rhythm of the sea. It’s where sparkling views are basked in from the cliff edge of the heated swimming pool, and dining al fresco means the serving of largely local seafood at Blue Fish restaurant. An outdoor gym, private pilates classes and anti-gravity yoga, too, mean that mountain top poses are only matched by the real-life Cretan mountains looking back at you, just a little ocean apart.

 

A Carrier curation

There’s nothing quite like a special milestone to celebrate the blossoming buds of growth. For just the two-of-you, share a candlelight dinner by the beach, or pop-the-bottle for the beginning of your next chapter with the big ‘I do’s’ on a picturesque proposal terrace. Or, if it's the whole brood you're bounding together, invite the extended family and friends and buyout the whole place exclusively to have it all completely to yourselves; turning big events into crystal-clear memories.
