The Greek concept of “parea” means the celebration of people coming together and sharing good moments together. Opened in May 2019 and located on the coast of Crete (the largest of the Greek Islands), Domes Zeen Chania naturally pays tribute to this concept. Surrounded by vegetation, the hotel features views of the Mediterranean Sea and 106 rooms, which are nestled in villas clad in concrete and timber. The peaceful boutique hotel project is a collaborative work of architectural firm K-studio, interior design studio Lambs and Lions, and stylist Annabell Kutucu.

“The design approach was to use modernist-inspired architecture and to create a ‘village’ layout”, the K-studio team says.
