About Acro Suites
Acro Suites – A Wellbeing Resort is a luxury, adults-only retreat carved into the cliffs of Mononaftis Bay in Agia Pelagia, Crete. Overlooking the Aegean Sea, it features 49 bespoke suites and villas, each with a private pool and panoramic views. The design blends organic, bohemian, and contemporary elements using stone, wood, and marble to create a calming atmosphere. At its heart lies the Bath House, a marble sanctuary inspired by Byzantine rituals, and the Asana Yoga Shala. Guests enjoy slow food at Cremnos Restaurant and cocktails at The Circle, a bar suspended between the sky and sea.
Behind The Brand
What was the initial spark for the property and how did it all begin?
Acro Suites was born from a deep love for our island. Its raw beauty, rich culture, timeless architecture, and soulful food. We wanted to create a place that celebrates Crete in an honest, elevated way. While embracing our passion for wellbeing, yoga, and slow gastronomy. Inspired by our travels around the world, we envisioned a retreat where mindful living, design, and nature come together in harmony. Acro is a reflection of everything we value: authenticity, intention, and a deep respect for place and people.
What spaces do you offer for a wedding or event?
For intimate weddings and private gatherings, we offer our Eleonas a serene olive grove with panoramic sea views. Perfect for soulful, small-scale celebrations immersed in nature. Beginning this summer, we’ll also introduce Tierras: our new private villa complex just seconds from Acro. Designed for exclusive use, Tierras offer sweeping views, modern minimalist design and a warm, secluded atmosphere. Ideal for curated events and destination weddings. Each setting reflects our vision of intentional, meaningful hospitality and design, all rooted in nature and tailored to each moment.
How many guests can you cater for?
We can cater events for up to 80/100 guests at Tierras, our new private villa complex launching this summer. Tierras also offers on-site accommodation for up to 20 guests, perfect for hosting close friends or family. For larger gatherings or full retreats, Acro Suites offers a full buyout option with 49 suites, allowing for an exclusive and seamless guest experience overlooking the Aegean Sea. Whether it’s an intimate ceremony or a full-scale celebration, we offer flexibility, privacy, and curated settings for every occasion.
What is it that makes your property magic?
What makes Acro truly magical is its setting hanging on the edge of a cliff, suspended between sea and sky. The cave-like architecture, sculpted in stone and marble, creates a sense of grounding and stillness, while every suite opens to endless views of the Aegean. It’s the feeling of being completely removed from the world, yet deeply connected to nature.
What advice can you give couples when selecting their venue?
Choose a place that speaks to your story not just one that looks beautiful, but one that feels right. Consider how the setting makes you feel, the atmosphere it creates, and how well it reflects your values as a couple. Think beyond logistics and ask: Can we truly see ourselves here? The right venue should offer not only a stunning backdrop but also a sense of comfort, care, and connection – both with the place and the people who will bring your vision to life.
Editor’s Notes
Why we love it…
Carved into the cliffs above Mononaftis Bay, Acro Suites is a retreat where architecture and nature converge in quiet conversation. The resort’s sculptural forms (stone, wood, marble) mirror the raw beauty of Crete itself, offering a setting that is both elemental and elevated. Each suite opens to the horizon, each space curated with intention. For couples drawn to meaningful design and mindful hospitality, this is where the outside world softens and presence takes root.
For the couple…
This is a place for couples who value intimacy, minimalism, and a sense of ceremony grounded in nature. Whether you’re exchanging vows in the olive grove or hosting a sunset dinner at Tierras, their new private villa complex, every detail is shaped by setting and sentiment. With panoramic views, immersive architecture, and the option for full buyouts, Acro Suites invites you to celebrate not only with beauty, but with intention. It’s a beginning, suspended between sea and sky.
