 Domes Zeen Chania, A Luxury Collection Resort, Crete 

A laid-back retreat with local culture at the heart

This peaceful and luxurious Cretan retreat puts a modern spin on rustic design and has a ‘living well’ philosophy at its core.

This serene retreat has been inspired by the cool but laid-back beach retreats that line Mexico’s Tulum coastline. It’s all about bohemian luxury here, with sandy tones and natural materials, updated with a 21st-century vibe – think minimalistic clean lines, exposed concrete and accents of grey. It manages to cater equally well to both families and couples, and there’s a real emphasis on living like a local thanks to a collection of authentic experiences designed by island insiders. You can visit a local vineyard and olive farm to taste their produce, get hands-on during a ceramics workshop guided by an expert or take a tour of Chania’s characterful Old Town on foot. Back at the resort, there’s a great kids’ club with cool yurts and teepees, as well as the soothing Jungle Spa – an open-air paradise where muscle-melting massages and rejuvenating treatments are on hand to lull you into a daze. 

Why we love Domes Zeen Chania, A Luxury Collection Resort, Crete

  • It’s ideally located for exploring the city of Chania, with its charming Old Town a 13-minute drive away.

  • There’s a focus on local culture, with daily and weekly ‘Epicurean Moments’ and ‘Be Authentic’ experiences offered around the resort to give you a glimpse into local life – from Cretan treats to hands-on artisan demonstrations.

  • The resort has also curated a number of experiences – think olive oil and wine tasting, ceramic workshops and hiking in the Samaria Gorge.

  • It caters to both couples and families, with stylish accommodation to suit honeymooners through to multi-gen families. Residences and villas come with their own private pool, while some rooms come with a shared one.

Rooms

The 101 rooms have been thoughtfully designed with a handful of the rooms and pavilions that are perfect if you have kids in tow and others that are perfect pour deux. But it doesn’t matter who they were designed for, they all share the same exceptional style you’ll see throughout the resort with sustainable hand-crafted materials, soft furnishings that you’ll just want to sink into and large floor-to-ceiling windows that open up to let you bring the outside in. The Tropical and Sapphire Bungalows are a great choice for couples but we highly recommend one of the Sapphire Pavilions with a private pool. For families, there are the Tropical Family Bungalows which have the room for an extra bed or cot. Again, it’s well worth the upgrade to one of the Pavilions with a pool – either one that’s shared with your neighbours or a private pool.

Haute Living Selection
A collection of the rooms come with extra Haute Living Selection benefits such as access to the Haute Living Room (10am to 11pm) where all-day hot and cold snacks, fruits, salads, traditional delicacies, tea varieties and freshly made coffee, branded wines, beers, soft drinks and juices and branded evening spirits are served. You'll receive a What's App number for direct and round-the-clock communication with the Domes Concierge Experts, have the services of a HLS Manager, enjoy a Domes exclusive check-in service and have the pick from a pillow selection menu.

Enino Gastronomy Restaurant
Indulge in a wine-themed, six-course tasting menu at this fine-dining restaurant, serving Cretan, Mediterranean and international dishes in elegant seascape surroundings.

The Beach House Bar
Set just a few steps from the pool and a short walk from the secluded beach, this serves iced coffees, soft drinks and cocktails created by award-winning mixologists.

Enino is exquisite, with delicately-presented tasting menus taking inspiration from Crete and beyond.
