HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Tella Thera is a beautiful boutique resort set among olive groves near Kissamos on the west coast of Crete. The atmosphere is calm and nature-focused, with suites and a signature villa designed to blend into the landscape. The style is modern and minimal, with earth-toned materials, soft curves and wide windows that frame the surrounding hills and the sea in the distance. It feels peaceful and private, with only 20 suites and 1 villa on the entire property. Guests can relax by the outdoor pool, visit the spa with its indoor pool, sauna and treatment rooms, or join yoga and Pilates sessions on a rooftop deck. The restaurant serves seasonal, plant-forward dishes using local produce, and the resort follows a sustainability philosophy that shapes both design and dining. Tella Thera works well for travellers looking for a retreat surrounded by nature, with access to nearby beaches and the small town of Kissamos just a short drive away.
A retreat shaped by nature, where spa time, sea breezes, nourishing food and beautifully crafted interiors blend into days that feel calm, grounded and deeply restorative.

Crete
Crete is a vibrant island full of history, stunning beaches, and mountain villages that feel untouched by time. You can spend the morning swimming in turquoise bays, wander ancient Minoan sites in the afternoon, and finish the day with dinner in a cosy taverna by the sea. The landscapes are wonderfully varied, from dramatic gorges to olive-covered hillsides. Crete feels warm, welcoming, and full of life, with something beautiful waiting around every corner.
Balos Lagoon
Balos Lagoon is one of Crete’s most stunning natural wonders, with shallow turquoise water, soft white sand, and views that feel almost tropical. The lagoon sits between rugged hills and a tiny islet, giving it a dramatic, untouched look from every angle. It’s perfect for swimming, strolling along the sandbar, or simply taking in the incredible colours of the water. Balos feels remote, peaceful, and absolutely unforgettable.
