With the 2023 summer season fast approaching its time to take a look at award-winning luxury hotel client, Casa Cook, who operates an eclectic collection of 5-star lifestyle hotels across the Mediterranean and North Africa, including the Greek Islands of Mykonos, Rhodes and Samos.
A haven of stylish sophistication and traditional enchantment, Mykonos is a Greek island infused with a fun-loving spirit.
Opening its doors in June 2022, this intimate Casa Cook destination is an adults-only (+16) boutique retreat where the signature design character of Casa Cook is carried through to each of the 26 luxury suites and villas. Built according to the traditional Cycladic architecture, the hotel’s seven buildings imitate a traditional Myconian village with whitewashed exteriors and smooth, clean lines — albeit with a dose of the group’s modern luxe flair.
Perched on the pristine coastline, the hotel looks out over the island of Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the mythological birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, offering panoramic Aegean Sea vistas. When it comes to winding-down and recharging, time at Casa Cook Mykonos is yours for the taking – practice yoga is available to take part in a sunrise ritual, or why not take a wander down the coastal steps straight into the sea.
Make time for the finer things in life, whether it’s a wine and cigar experience in the hotel’s quaint curated cellar or cocktails and mellow DJ beats as the sun goes down. Round off the day with a meal in the elevated dining room offering unspoiled sea views.
The hotel is also heading into the final stages of its renovations that started last year which include uplifting the reception area and finishing the final three rooms ahead of the 2023 season.
An island full of contrasts, Rhodes is a Greek Island filled with bohemian charm and classic island vibes.
Launching the Casa Cook brand in May 2016, Casa Cook Rhodes set the tone for these luxury properties. Coloured by centuries and home to the friendliest people, Rhodes is an enchanting island, both alive with ancient and modern culture, so it’s no wonder that this is an epicentre from which tourism has developed over decades.
Inspired by the nomadic way of life, the cosy character of Casa Cook Rhodes comes from natural surfaces and earthy tones. Comfy pillows and hand-picked accessories add to the warm, bohemian atmosphere. A personal space in which to kick back and slow down. The true highlights are the private verandas which border a pool. With sunbeds or hammocks for deep relaxation, whole days can drift by in your private paradise.
Bites, beats and breezy beach style, the Kitchen Club seamlessly merges the bar, restaurant and pool together. From early morning and well into the night, it’s the central spot to relax and revel together. It’s also the ‘stage’ for frequent happenings – from daily sunset gatherings to chilled-out evenings filled with the DJ’s beats. Throughout the day they serve fresh and tasty delights that are made with passion and the purest ingredients, sourced from the island’s farms and even grow the herbs right on site.
Ready for the 2023 season, they have also welcomed 8 new villas to the resort, as well as transforming its small poolside restaurant into an a la carte dining area serving Mediterranean cuisine.
An Aegean Island where rolling green hills spill down onto the azure waters just off the coastline, Samos is an island blessed with century-old beauty.
Casa Cook Samos is nestled in the island’s forest-like landscape, gazing towards the boundless beaches of the northeastern Aegean Sea. This 128-room adults-only (+16) retreat, conveniently located 5 minute’s drive from the airport, opened its doors in May 2022 and continues to welcome guests as it heads towards its first anniversary in May. It offers the Casa Cook trademark laid-back luxury in one of the Mediterranean’s most historically-rich surroundings within the mythical birthplace of the Greek goddess Hera, Samos is for lovers of legends and that off-the-beaten-track kind of beauty.
Inspired by traditional Greek houses, or Kamares, found in Samian villages, the architecture is down-to-earth and inclusive. The historic concept of a Grecian village has been embodied in the modern space, where the hotel’s infinite swimming pools act as the town centre of each small ‘neighbourhood’ within the hotel. An eclectic programme of activities, state-of-the-art facilities and a prime seaside location mean a visit to Casa Cook Samos brings a plethora of opportunities to refresh body, mind and soul.
With a breathtaking panoramic view of the Aegean Sea, the restaurant serves up the flavours of the Greek islands and beyond, fresh ingredients fuse together with culinary flair to create memorable dishes.
