Casa Cook Samos 

 Inspired by traditional Greek houses, or Kamares, found in Samian villages,

the architecture is down-to-earth and inclusive.

Nestled in the island Samos’ forest-like landscape, gazing towards the boundless beaches of the northeastern Aegean Sea, is the newest hotel to join the Casa Cook collection. This 128-room adults-only (+16) retreat, which opened its doors in May 2022, offers the Casa Cook trademark laid-back luxury in one of the Mediterranean's most historically rich surroundings.

Inspired by traditional Greek houses, or Kamares, found in Samian villages, the architecture is down-to-earth and inclusive. The historic concept of a Grecian village has been embodied in the modern space, where the hotel’s infinite swimming pools act as the town center of each small ‘neighborhood’ within the hotel — offering space to immerse with those around you when the mood strikes or retreat back to your room to recharge in complete solitude.
