Domes Zeen Chania, Crete, Greece, Mediterranean

Wonderfully hugging a hillside with glorious views out across the sea on Crete’s north-west coast, within walking distance of pretty Chania, Domes Zeen is a beachfront resort with a boho-chic vibe. Family friendly, the interior is a stylish design mix of stone, wood, muted textiles and rattan touches. The rooms and villas spill down the hillside from the elevated modernist reception to the black-tiled swimming pool and pebbly beach below. The name is a nod to the Ancient Greek term ‘ef zeen’, meaning the art of living well. There’s an inspiring ethos here of delivering hospitality with soul, through authenticity, wellness and simplicity. Its proximity to the energy of old town Chania is a real draw. Enjoy the 40 minute walk along the beach or 10 minute drive into Chania, with its iconic Venetian harbour, Egyptian lighthouse, narrow streets and waterfront restaurants. Chania is a cultural melting pot with a fascinating history and alluring old buildings with countless stories to tell. It is also home to a vibrant Cretan foodie scene.
