Pair up with our top local insider on a journey along the golden expanse of West Crete by the comfort of a luxury chauffeured vehicle at disposal Submerge into a tailor made adventure fueled by the shimmering authenticity of ancient villages, hospitable locals who live close to untouched nature, lavish gorges spilling their rivers into the sea and storied Byzantine Monasteries nestled within utopian wonders.

Tuck into the genuine flavors of our legendary forefathers Unearth the archaic hamlet of King Agamemnon where water resources and vegetation are pure, the temperature is ideal, and the local knowledge of food is an art. Prepare to be mesmerized by delicious aromas of slow grilled lamb and melt in mouth river fish placed around an open fire straight in front of you.

Domes Zeen Chania

Design-led luxury resort in Chania, Crete — raw stone, sea light, private beach and curated travel design that turns slow living into art.
Chania, Crete

Domes Zeen Chania

  • 106 Rooms & Villas
  • 2 Restaurants & 2 Bars
  • Private Beach & 2 Pools
  • Earthy Architecture
Overview

Between bamboo and olive groves, Domes Zeen Chania slopes gently toward the Cretan Sea, a hillside village built of raw stone and calm geometry. Light filters through linen; terracotta meets brushed concrete; black steel outlines every horizon. The mood is elemental, elegant, alive.

 

You feel the resort before you see it — the scent of rosemary, the hush of the sea, the soft percussion of footsteps on gravel. Everything moves in rhythm: architecture, nature, and time. A morning swim becomes meditation, a walk through the CORE Agora turns into conversation, dinner glows with the last golden light of Chania.

 

Our travel design shapes this flow. Transfers, timing, dining, discovery — all blend seamlessly into your pace. This design hotel in Chania isn’t about escape; it’s about presence. Luxury here is not noise, but silence perfectly tuned.
