The Poiema Hotel Resort, designed by Venetis Architecture & Design Studio, is a stunning example of architecture seamlessly blending with its natural surroundings. Located in the idyllic green environment of Sivota, Greece, this resort offers a unique experience for guests seeking luxury and tranquility.
The inspiration for the design came from the breathtaking landscape of the Ionian coast, where crystal clear turquoise waters meet the Mediterranean sun. The goal was to create a hybrid relationship between the anthropogenic and natural elements, allowing them to coexist harmoniously. The fragmented structure of the resort follows the contours of the hill, with underground parts covered by earth, creating a seamless integration with the environment.
One of the key features of Poiema is the uninterrupted views of the Ionian Sea. The structured and unstructured spaces interact, providing multiple visual stimuli while maintaining a connection to the stunning surroundings. The design achieves this through the use of materials like concrete, glass, and local stone, combining modern and traditional elements in a gentle adaptation to the natural environment.
The resort offers a range of amenities and services to cater to the needs of its guests. From spacious parking areas and a welcoming reception to restaurants and bars with large outdoor areas, every detail has been carefully considered. Meeting rooms, wellness and spa areas, playgrounds, tennis courts, and even a helicopter reception area ensure that guests have everything they need for a memorable stay.
The design also includes a variety of accommodation options, including standard rooms, junior suites, luxury suites, duplex suites, and villas. With approximately 200 hosting spaces, the resort can accommodate a range of preferences and needs.
Recognized for its outstanding design, Poiema Hotel Resort was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2019. This prestigious award celebrates designs that showcase creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving quality of life. The resort's unique blend of architecture, nature, and luxury truly sets it apart.
