Building upon the legacy of hospitality excellence from Pilot Beach Resort, ÓROS – a name that signifies both a “landmark” and the boundless horizon – will debut in May 2025 as our new luxury beach resort.
This upscale retreat seamlessly blends refined luxury with the island’s authentic Cretan architectural charm. Infused with the warm glow of gold – a hue that mirrors the island’s sunlit beaches and rich heritage – ÓROS presents spaces designed with timeless sophistication and offers lifetime experiences that etch everlasting memories.
ÓROS invites you to immerse in the art of disconnecting from the ordinary and reconnecting with your loved ones, tempting in a captivating embrace of abundance, euphoria, and wellness that unfold with each passing moment. Neutral earthy tones like sand, and taupe, allow a harmonious connection with the stunning surroundings. High quality materials like stone, wood, glass, marble and granite create a timeless and contemporary aesthetic. Perched above the pristine golden sands of Episkopi, Rethymno, overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Cretan Sea, ÓROS is a sanctuary for those seeking the ultimate escape.
A haven for Sunseekers and Nature Lovers.
THE OPUS MAGNUM OF DESIGN
At ÓROS, every element of design is crafted to glorify the quintessence of hospitality. The architecture reflects a harmonious balance between the timeless beauty of Crete and modern sophistication, creating a sanctuary that feels both innovative and enduring.
Cutting-edge materials blend seamlessly with nature, composing a world of elevated comfort. Handpicked fabrics, bespoke furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows, and refined details embody the highest standards of luxury. Each space is thoughtfully designed to merge style with function.
Luxurious woods, polished stone, and gleaming glass unite in an atmosphere of minimal elegance and lavish quality, in a soothing palette of earthy tones—warm wood, soft sand, & washed white. Every corner, every curve, every texture is a testament to the dedication behind the architecture and interior design, all crafted with the finest precision and passion for excellence.
Every single detail – whether in the furnishings, the lighting, or the spaces themselves – is purposefully selected to fulfil the vision of a truly magnificent retreat. Succumb in the artistry of hospitality, where luxury is not just a promise—it is the manifestation of our commitment to providing a multisensory world-class experience.
WE ARE CRETE — ÓROS stands proudly as the island’s premier destination, boldly redefining luxury with its avant-garde vision and fresh, innovative spirit.
Where boundless blue horizons meet the shimmering embrace of the Cretan Sea, ÓROS emerges as an exclusive sanctuary of uncompromising and sophisticated luxury, crafted for the most discerning traveler. A destination where light glides across the water, and every perspective is infused with the soul of the Aegean.
Witness the fusion of mind and matter as they harmonize with nature’s rhythm.
