Casa Cook SAMOS, GREECE
According to legend, Samos is the birthplace of the goddess Hera. It’s an island as rich in history as it is in natural beauty. For those wishing to uncover a tapestry of ancient culture, while basking in a wealth of greenery and breath- taking blues, Samos is the stuff of legends. The hotel is nestled on the forested shores with
expansive views over the Aegean. The 128-room property is characterised by the signature Casa Cook aesthetic, a pioneer of bohemian laid-back luxury. Inspired by the kamares (traditional Greek houses) found in Samian villages, the architecture is down to earth and inclusive. The concept of a historic Grecian village has been embodied in the modern space, where the hotel’s infinity pools act as the ‘town centre’ of each small ‘neighbourhood’ within the hotel — offering space to connect with those around you when the mood strikes, or retreat to your room to recharge in complete solitude. The earthy textures and colours that make up the space are inspired by the surrounding landscape: the abundant greenery echoes the island’s fertile vegetation, which
includes palms, pines, agave and wild olive trees, while the pools of water throughout mimic the landscape’s waterfalls, rivers and shores. Arriving at the hotel, guests are welcomed
as if returning to the home of a friend — each aspect of the experience led by the brand’s ethos of Paréa, a Greek word that means a wholesome get-together with friends. The shaded restaurant looks out over the azure sea and offers a seasonally inspired menu led by local traditions and ingredients. Expansive, communal tables, encourage guests to take time to connect with like-minded travellers as they feast — an opportunity to engage and create meaningful experiences and long-lasting memories. Beyond sampling local delicacies and enjoying the enchanting natural surroundings, guests are invited to take time to rejuvenate, with an emphasis on wellbeing beyond the traditional sense — whether it be a meditative yoga practice out on the breezy shala or an indulgent spa treatment, mind, body and soul are catered for throughout the stay.
