Few places on earth are as instantly recognizable as Greece. Tucked away on the northern coast of Crete in Rethymno, the Caramel hotel is a picturesque resort that captures the traditional essence of Greece with modern luxury.
The hotel features the primarily white palette and vibrant, colorful accents that Greece is known for. Everything is sleek and minimal but with a sense of comfort. It’s that intrinsic charm of the ancient region that makes it feel so comfortable and yet so chic.
It is located on Crete’s longest beach and features absolutely breathtaking coastal views. The landscape has definitely inspired the whole of the hotel, as there are glass doors and windows all over the place and incredible garden areas. The architecture of the building is also full of character, featuring open archways and domed structures and a village-like layout that makes you feel like you’re staying in a small community.
Enjoy this incredible and inspiring hotel tour of the Caramel in Crete.
The many curves in the outdoor space make everything feel more natural and free-flowing.
In one of the lounge areas, gold accents and animal print look ultra glamorous.
Emerald gold sofas and stools richly pop against the white-on-white backdrop.
Very cool lounges in the pool look like lily pads floating in the water.
Many of the rooms feature arches and incredible tile work on the floors that give the hotel traditional Greek character.
No one does the white-on-white palette better than Greece. It is clean, sophisticated and timeless.
Vibrant blue on white is one of the staples of Greek design and is executed beautifully in the Caramel.
White canopies give this outdoor dining area some shade without compromising on style.
One of the indoor restaurants takes a page from the Hollywood Regency playbook with a Greek flair.
Coastal elements are sprinkled throughout the hotel, like the seashells in this all-white bathroom.
If you ever travel to Greece, this is definitely a hotel to keep at the top of your list.
Warm regards,
