Nestled on the captivating cliffs of the Greek island of Crete, ACRO Suites commands a breathtaking vantage point on the precipice, granting guests awe-inspiring panoramic vistas of the enchanting Aegean Sea that stretches along the picturesque coastline of Agia Pelagia.
Aptly named after the Greek term “Akros/Akron,” signifying ‘on the edge,’ this idyllic retreat epitomizes its stunning cliff-top location.
A Minimalistic Marvel
Founded by the Orfanake family, ACRO Suites embraces a minimalistic design, adorned with a colour palette inspired by earthy tones. This aesthetic seamlessly melds with the pristine natural surroundings, presenting guests with an unobstructed view of the Mediterranean landscape.
Throughout the property, tranquillity reigns supreme. ACRO Suites’ communal areas have been meticulously crafted to exude serenity, simplicity, and a profound sense of calm. Collaborating closely with local artisans and designers, the family seamlessly wove regional design elements and the surrounding nature into the very fabric of the hotel.
ACRO Suites comprises 49 spacious suites, lofts, and villas, each graced with an uninterrupted view of the boundless blue Aegean Sea through expansive walls of glass. Among these remarkable lodgings, you’ll discover the Cave Suites, intricately nestled within the rugged cliffs, artfully carved by talented Cretan sculptors. Upon stepping inside, guests are welcomed by the dramatic cave mouth, offering a unique experience that harmoniously combines nature and luxury.
Embracing Nature’s Finest
Every accommodation type within this exquisite retreat has been thoughtfully designed to deepen guests’ profound connection with the surrounding environment. Custom-made marble furniture adorned with local wooden accents, coupled with the use of natural materials sourced from Crete – such as stone, glass, and raw silk – imbue each space with an air of authenticity and harmony. The expansive panoramic windows welcome the gentle morning light, while private saltwater pools, overlooking the sea, bestow a sense of exclusivity, ensuring an unforgettable stay.
Culinary Delights
At Acro Suites, culinary enthusiasts can embark on a delightful gastronomic journey with two unique restaurants.
Umi masterfully blends the culinary traditions of Peru and Japan, offering an elegant fusion of Japanese cuisine with the bold freshness of Peru. Situated just a short buggy ride away from sister property, Seaside A Lifestyle Resort, dining at Umi is a memorable experience complemented by a range of cocktail offerings.
Meanwhile, Cremnos reinterprets classic Greek recipes with a modern twist. Chef Yannis Rokanas and his team craft visually captivating dishes using locally sourced, organic ingredients, deeply rooted in the authentic and healthy Cretan culinary heritage. From Roasted Beetroot Salad to Sea Bass Fillet and Chocolate and Carob dessert, both restaurants embody their commitment to exceptional cuisine, all within the serene grounds of Acro Suites.
A Wellbeing Oasis
At ACRO Suites, the terms ‘haven’ and ‘hotel’ are interchangeable. A stay includes access to extensive well-being facilities. Yoga and fitness enthusiasts can relish classes beneath the dramatic, vaulted bamboo roof of the Asana Yoga Shala building. Additionally, the resort’s Hamman-style Bath House, designed in collaboration with Utopia Hotel Design, features a sauna, treatment rooms, two swimming pools, and a spa, ensuring that every guest finds their perfect state of relaxation.
ACRO Suites extends an invitation to embark on a journey of unparalleled luxury, serenity, and adventure. Escape to the edge of paradise, where the beauty of Crete meets the artistry of luxury hospitality. Your stay at ACRO Suites promises an experience like no other.
