Solea Thyme | Solea Estate

Solea Estate is an integrated coastal retreat of private seafront villas, designed to offer a transformative wellness experience in a peaceful and serene setting on the southern coast of Crete. The project expresses an intention to re-establish a new way of reconnecting to our roots and the natural environment through unique sensory experiences.

The architecture embraces simplicity and openness, merging clean lines and natural materials with the textures of the surrounding landscape to create a seamless dialogue between indoor and outdoor living. Natural materials such as textured stone, timber and warm plaster blend softly with a sculpted landscape of dunes, echoing the muted tones of the setting. Interior and exterior spaces are arranged to create continuity, where boundaries dissolve and the experience of space becomes fluid and relaxed.

Strategically placed courtyards, water features and framed views shape a sequence of calming moments, while shaded outdoor areas, private pools and garden terraces offer space for rest, reconnection, retreat. Indoor and outdoor kitchens, open living areas and wellness amenities are designed to support a lifestyle centered on comfort, balance and tranquility.

Solea embraces the essence of slow living: where time expands, rhythms soften and presence becomes a form of wellbeing. Rooted in the landscape yet refined in its detail, the estate proposes a way of living that remains closely connected to place and nature.
