Discover the rare, wild and unspoiled beauty of southwestern Crete with the fixed starting point of your excursions being, the brand new, eco-luxury resort Salvia Luxury Collection Suites. Salvia Suites is located on the southern coastline of Chania, on the beach of Lakkoi between Frangokastelo Sfakion and the prefecture of Rethymno and consists of four impressive, spacious suites of modern, luxu
rious, boho-chic design. The creation of the complex started as an idea by people who come from this untamed place, who love it, and envisioned to highlight it in a way that respects their roots, it fully harmonizes with the unique, natural environment and honors the long tradition of Cretan hospitality. The goals of this architectural choice were their complete harmonization with the simple and barren natural landscape of the area. Another important benefit is the reduction of their environmental footprint since the cave construction works in favor of energy savings and natural thermal insulation and air conditioning of the interiors, despite the very hot and dry climate of the area. Apart from their modern, simple but at the same time luxurious interior design, special attention has been paid to the outdoor areas and the landscaping. Each suite has a private pool and an outdoor seating area with plantations of endemic plants, from where one can gaze for hours at the Libyan Sea or enjoy starry nights in complete silence. The name Salvia chosen for the suite complex is in line with its general philosophy and is none other than the harmonization of construction and human presence with the untouched natural environment of the area. Salvia is the official, Latin name of the plant genus that includes the endemic sage, which also plays a leading role in the summer Cretan countryside. The name comes from the Latin verb "salvare" which means "save". The intensely aromatic sage with its red-pink flowers, along with many more endemic, native herbs, have been for centuries an important part of Cretan paramedic care. In ancient times, sage was used as a panacea. They believed that its highly beneficial properties could cure everything. By choosing this name, we pay tribute to all the natural and plant goods of this blessed land, recognize the power of nature and utilize the endemic vegetation in the environmental plantings of the suites. But symbolically we dream, the holiday homes of Salvia Suites be your base and refuge, the place where you will preserve beautiful moments for a lifetime, you will create unforgettable memories with your loved ones and where you will feel substantial, emotional relief and mental uplift.
