Casa Cook, Kos, Greece

Casa Cook Kos is on an untouched stretch of golden-sand coast, lapped by the bluest of the Aegean waters. Windswept dunes rise gently and gradually merge with a vast stretch of countryside. To set the scene for  summer escape, the rooms are little enclaves grouped around courtyards and gardens. The cubic, one- and two-storey buildings are contemporary and minimalist, derived from a centuries-old Greek architectural style. The rooms allow you to kick back in style and comfort, with large terraces extending into your private outdoor space. Deeply inspired by the Greek parea – a gathering of friends – the open-plan beach club invites you to create your own summer stories. At barbecues, farm-to-table feasts, or just chilling out to cool beats – drink in hand, and toes dipped in the pool.
