Love at First Sight

A golden landmark where sea, sky and love converge

Perched above the golden sands of Episkopi Beach and overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Cretan Sea, ÓROS Luxury Beach Resort is a bold new landmark in refined Mediterranean luxury. Debuting in June 2025, ÓROS builds upon the hospitality legacy of Pilot Beach Resort while introducing a fresh, contemporary vision rooted deeply in Crete’s natural beauty, culture and soul.

Inspired by the meaning of its name — mountain, horizon, gold and landmark — ÓROS is a sanctuary where boundless blue horizons meet timeless design. Neutral earthy tones, natural stone, wood, marble and glass blend effortlessly with the surrounding landscape, creating an atmosphere of calm sophistication and understated opulence.

Just seven minutes from the vibrant city of Rethymno, yet worlds away from the ordinary, ÓROS invites guests to disconnect from routine and reconnect — with nature, with loved ones, and with life’s most meaningful moments.

Romance

Where unforgettable weddings and love stories unfold beside the Cretan Sea

ÓROS is a natural choice for romantic escapes, honeymoons and unforgettable destination weddings. With its pristine beachfront setting, panoramic sea views and elegant architectural design, every moment feels cinematic, intimate and deeply personal.

Couples can celebrate their love surrounded by golden light, soft sands and the soothing rhythm of the sea — whether exchanging vows, hosting an elegant reception, or simply escaping together to reconnect.

For weddings and celebrations, SYNAXIS, the resort’s sophisticated event venue, offers exceptional flexibility. From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, the spaces can be adapted to suit a wide range of styles and guest numbers, creating a seamless flow between ceremony, reception and celebration. Whether it’s a barefoot beach ceremony, an elegant reception, or a milestone celebration surrounded by family and friends, ÓROS elevates every occasion into a defining life moment.
