ACRO Suites takes its name from the ancient Greek word "Akros/Akron," meaning "on the edge," which perfectly captures the retreat's stunning location.

The property boasts 49 exquisite suites, lofts, and villas, each meticulously designed to provide the utmost comfort and privacy. Whichever accommodation you choose, you can expect a truly indulgent experience.
Upon entering your home away from home, muted, earthy tones and organic elements Greet you, and every detail has been carefully considered to ensure your utmost comfort. The top-of-the- range mattresses are hypoallergenic and aerated, providing a restful night's sleep.

Opt for the unique pillow mist infused with calming essential oils during the turn-down service, further enhancing your respite.
One of the highlights of ACRO Suites is the private pools. Imagine taking a refreshing dip while admiring the breathtaking views of the endless blue sea stretching before you.

The public areas of ACRO Suites reflect the same chic and calm ambiance. Mother Nature's gift of a superb cliff-side location with spectacular sea views is complemented by man-made facilities designed for your enjoyment.

Indulge in tension-melting massages, radiance-boosting facials, or holistic wellness days tailored to your needs. You even have the option to have treatments in the privacy of your suite.
Immerse yourself in deep relaxation during the weekly yogic sessions featuring yoga nidra, a conscious yogic sleep induced by a guided meditation. These sessions are held on Sunday evenings in the Asana Yoga Shala, a bamboobuilt space dedicated to wellness, and provide a rejuvenating experience.
You can try the sound bath sessions facilitated by a certified sound therapist and meditation practitioner, Manolis Zografakis, for a unique wellness therapy. These sessions, conducted in the Asana Yoga Shala, guide you on a spiritual journey of reconnection and self-discovery, helping you find balance and harmony within.
