The Revery, a new luxury retreat in Crete, has officially opened its doors near Elafonisi Beach in southwestern Chania. This highly anticipated destination aims to redefine luxury with its 24 safari-inspired tented pavilions and clifftop suites, designed to immerse guests in the island's natural beauty and cultural heritage.
Located amidst olive groves and the Mediterranean's clear waters, The Revery offers a serene escape with a focus on sustainability. The retreat features two distinct accommodation styles: The Revery Wild, eco-luxury tented pavilions with hydrotherapy pools, and The Revery Suites, carved into cliffs with private heated pools. The Revery Villa, the most luxurious option, provides expansive indoor-outdoor living space and accommodates up to six guests.
Designed by local architect Eirini Apostolaki and interior designer Sophia Vantaraki, the retreat reflects Cretan minimalism using materials like canvas, timber, and stone. Sustainability is central, with features such as solar energy, natural ventilation, and eco-conscious materials.
The Revery also emphasises community and culture, collaborating with local artisans and conservation groups. The Fílema restaurant, offering traditional Cretan cuisine, and the ROÉE Spa, with treatments inspired by local healing traditions, are key highlights. Guests can enjoy various activities, including guided hikes, craft workshops, and stargazing.
The Revery is accessible via Chania International Airport, a two-hour drive away, with rates starting from $640 (£520).
