Daios Cove in Crete extends over 100 acres of land, including the private cove and beach area. This 220,000 m2 luxury resort has been fitted with natural stones provided by Stonetech, a Greek company dedicated to the quarrying, manufacturing and distribution of Greek stone claddings. It can accommodate guests with its range of accommodation, including rooms, suites and villas. At the same time, it offers facilities and relaxation opportunities at the KEPOS spa and the haute cuisine restaurants.
The site covers the side of the bay and lies just 5 km south-east of Agios Nikolaos on the island of Crete.

Kepos Spa, in-pool tiles clad in Skyline marble |
A 717-bed luxury resort, the Daios Cove has a built surface covering 32,000m2, which includes a conference centre capable of hosting up to 400 people and a thalassotherapy centre, built on the longer side of the bay.
Per the Central Archaeological Council, part of the plot remains without any interventions, due to the existence of an ancient quarry within the area. This allows the hotel an unimpeded view across the open natural landscape in this particular section of the bay. The buildings are arranged amphitheatre-like due to the inclination of the terrain, with a large section covered over with vegetation.

This same natural slope grants access to communal areas from above, which connect via cableways or small electric cars through which guests can access the rooms or the sea below. The one or two-storey rooms, some of them with their own small private pools, are grouped in small complexes of five or six rooms laid out according to the slope of the terrain. These small complexes are in turn grouped into three larger groups.
All the stones provided by Stonetech are intensively applied to indoor floorings, wall cladding, and pool and spa tilings.
