THE ART OF SLOW LIVING

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

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.

BEACH & POOLS

Snami Travel

Zeen’s private cove is the resort’s heartbeat — an amphitheater of soft sand, olive trees, and bamboo cabanas descending toward the Cretan Sea. The design flows in levels: adults drift to the calm infinity pool facing the horizon, while families gather around the lower terraces shaded by palms.

Staff move silently, trays glinting in the light; cocktails, cold towels, and soundtracks curated by local DJs complete the mood. Every line of the architecture directs you toward the water — a perfect expression of the design-led luxury resort in Crete.

Restaurants & Bars

  • Gallina Restaurant

    Fine dining by the Aegean. Nordic precision meets Cretan produce; a MICHELIN-listed destination of light textures and sea flavor. Our designers reserve it to match your sunset hour.

  • Beach House Restaurant & Bar

    All-day Mediterranean under woven bamboo. Breakfast drifts into lunch and evening wine; the sea just a breath away.

  • Ef Zeen Pool Bar

    Calm beats, craft cocktails, poolside ease from day to dusk.

MINDFUL WELLNESS

Opening Hours 10:00 – 20:00

“Where Stillness Becomes Strength.”

Sunrise yoga by the cove, olive-oil spa rituals, and nutrient-led menus shape a stay that feels naturally restorative. Our travel designers tailor each wellness chapter to match your rhythm — balancing stillness and strength through the island’s elements of sea, sun, and silence.

GYM PAVILION

Opening Hours 07:00–21:00

“Strength in Simplicity.”

Workouts surrounded by olive trees and sea air redefine what a fitness space can be. The Gym Pavilion at Zeen combines architecture, sound, and light into one sensory flow — connecting body, design, and nature in harmony.

Facilities

Family & Lifestyle

Zeen was designed for balance — children free to create, parents free to pause. The Montessori-inspired KiEPOS Kids Club embraces discovery through art, gardening, and play. Family dining and daily rhythms are crafted by our travel designers to align with natural light and local culture. Togetherness becomes design, not routine.

Haute Living Privileges & Concierge

Guests of the Haute Living Selection enjoy a level of comfort that redefines personalization. Private check-in, exclusive lounge access, and a dedicated Lifestyle Manager connect seamlessly with our Snami Travel Designers to orchestrate on- and off-resort experiences. From sunrise picnics to curated island tours, the art of precision meets emotional intuition — the essence of personalized luxury in Crete.

Tailored Island Rhythms

At Domes Zeen, exploration is not an activity — it’s movement crafted with aesthetic purpose. Our Curated Journeys are sensory experiences that unfold like design pieces. Think vineyard lunches among stone terraces, spontaneous art walks through Chania’s creative quarter, or private sails into the gold of sunset.

Each journey is planned through our concierge and driver network, ensuring comfort and continuity, but never rigidity. Logistics become invisible — allowing the guest to live in pure flow, the hallmark of Zeen’s travel design philosophy.

Architecture & Design Works

A 20-minute design walk around Zeen reveals its architectural soul: raw materials, organic geometry, and the dance of light through minimal space. Our guides share insights from the resort’s creative team, transforming observation into understanding — architecture as emotion, design as experience.

Location

Kato Daratso, Chania – Crete, Greece
Five minutes from Chania Town, 25 minutes from Chania Airport, and surrounded by the light and scent of the Mediterranean.

Location

Found on Crete’s northwest coast, near the lively heart of Chania, Domes Zeen sits between the island’s cultural pulse and its tranquil shorelines. The resort’s hillside position grants views of both sea and city — a composition of nature, design, and heritage.

Distances

  • Chania Old Town & Venetian Harbor — 10 minutes

  • Chania International Airport (CHQ) — 25–30 minutes / approx. 24 km

  • Souda Port — 20 minutes

  • Agioi Apostoloi Beach — 2 minutes

  • Falassarna Beach — 70 minutes

  • Elafonissi Beach — 75 minutes

Sightseeing

Crete’s western coast reveals itself as a collection of quiet stories. Private jeep safaris trace hidden gorges; culinary journeys lead to family vineyards and village kitchens; artists open their ateliers for private viewings. From luxury private tours in Chania to mountain hikes and seaside picnics, every experience is woven into the Zeen rhythm — intimate, design-conscious, deeply local.

Return to the resort at dusk, where the geometry of your villa receives the same light that once brushed the harbor walls. This is slow travel by design, the art of discovering less and feeling more.
