Escape to tella thera, crete's sustainable oasis

Imagine a luxury resort where every detail has been meticulously considered for maximum wellness and immersion in nature. Welcome to Tella Thera, Crete's latest gem.

A holistic approach to luxury

Founded by Loukas Tourkomanis, the former Airbnb executive, Tella Thera is a testament to his lifelong passion for sustainable hospitality. The 20-suite resort is nestled in a Cretan hillside, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea.

From the outset, the focus is on disconnecting from technology and reconnecting with the environment. Guests are shuttled via golf cart to their spacious suites, each adorned with native plants, a private pool, and a pebble patio perfect for sipping coffee while gazing out at the cerulean sea.

A haven for wellness

The subterranean spa offers a range of treatments, including magnesium-oil massages and anti-aging facials. But wellness at Tella Thera extends far beyond the spa walls.

Customized itineraries can include hikes to Balos Beach and the Sirikari Gorge, wine tastings at nearby vineyards, and farm-to-table dinners at local restaurants like Gramvousa.

Every aspect of the resort, from the linen uniforms upcycled by Athens-based Thiswasasheet to the sustainable wooden amenities, reflects Tourkomanis' commitment to eco-friendliness.

A taste of crete

Tella Thera is not just a spa retreat, but a gateway to experiencing the best of Crete. From harvesting wild greens for traditional hortopita to exploring the island's rich history and Culture, every guest can design their perfect getaway.

As Tourkomanis puts it,
