The design concept

The Mitsis Rinela Beach project stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between Mitsis Hotels and WATG. With a focus on delivering exceptional luxury and a vibrant beachfront atmosphere, Mitsis Rinela Beach has become a flagship destination for travelers seeking unparalleled comfort and unforgettable experiences. 

WATG’s design concept for Mitsis Rinela Beach was rooted in the idea of creating a seamless fusion between luxury, nature, and the beachfront location. Our design team aimed to craft a resort that would celebrate the natural beauty of the surroundings while offering a contemporary and refined atmosphere for guests. 

The design concept embraced open spaces, blending indoor and outdoor areas to ensure a harmonious connection with the picturesque coastal setting. By utilizing local materials and incorporating traditional Cretan architectural elements, WATG ensured that the resort would authentically reflect the local culture while maintaining a sense of timeless elegance.
