A modern architectural marvel rooted in tradition
Designed by a leading local architecture firm, NEMA Design Hotel & Spa is a testament to innovative design in harmony with the natural environment. The main building, designed by O25, offers guests a blend of modern luxury and Cretan tradition. Looking ahead, the hotel’s 2025 expansion, designed by Omniview, promises to further enhance luxury offerings while prioritizing sustainability. Known for its advanced building techniques and eco-friendly practices, Omniview’s design furthers NEMA’s commitment to an environmentally conscious guest experience.
Sustainability at its core
NEMA Design Hotel & Spa isn’t just luxury, it’s responsible luxury. The hotel’s design incorporates several sustainability initiatives aimed at reducing its environmental impact. From energy-efficient lighting and low-e glass to water-saving fixtures and grey water recycling systems, every aspect of the hotel’s construction was environmentally friendly. Extensive use of locally sourced stone and reclaimed wood not only supports the local economy, but also reduces the carbon footprint created by transporting materials from far away.
