The Syntopia, design vacations in the heart of Crete.

Just a few days ago, we took off for Rethymnon in Crete to discover the hotel everyone’s talking about: The Syntopia. On arrival, we were immediately struck by the hotel’s meticulous design, attention to detail and magnificent swimming pools. We were in for a few days of totally Instagrammable life.

A combination of the Greek words “syn” meaning together and “topos” for place, Syntopia blends cultures and influences to create a timeless cosmopolitan venue. Created for trendsetters and global citizens who prefer to go barefoot and appreciate local authenticity, this upscale sanctuary is located just outside Rethymnon in Crete, Greece, a few steps from the beach. The Syntopia, the temple of hippy chic lifestyle mixed with all-you-can-eat Cretan hospitality.

Designed to merge a relaxed, carefree lifestyle with the sophistication of clean, contemporary lines, each of the 119 rooms (some with Jacuzzi) tells its own story, decorated with olive-wood furnishings that blend nature and design.

The lungs of the hotel, the pools. In the middle of the huge main pool, a grandiose teepee stands out against the cacti and palm trees. The second pool is quiet and surrounded by cactus and greenery.

Each pool is surrounded by cabanas or designer beach beds with comfortable mattresses.

An all-you-can-eat bar is available throughout the day and night, offering a fine menu of cocktails and snacks. The hotel team regularly comes to your cabana to take your orders. A paradise of relaxation.

The bite is there to tantalize your taste buds, with a restaurant area featuring carefully-crafted international dishes combined with the best of local produce, as well as The canteen streetfood bar with burgers, club sandwiches and salads to devour on the spot or in the pisicine.

There’s a boutique spa to pamper you and a well-equipped gym to
keep up with your fitness routine.

A carefully curated calendar of events – morning yoga, evening concerts, wine tasting, open-air cinema.

Everything is designed to make you feel like the king of Instagram, everything is beautiful, including the visitors. You’ll meet models, influencers, communications and design professionals who want to spend their vacations in an idyllic setting.

A vacation in paradise!
