Adjoining the village of Messaria, Noūs Santorini stands as one of the largest resorts on the island, harmoniously blending the past with the present. Nestled in a vast area of vineyards, moments away from the Aegean Sea, Noūs is a journey of discovery where buildings and landscapes gradually unveil and unfold. With a total of 119 rooms and suites, the scope includes the renovation of existing hotel units as well as the extension of additional buildings, a restaurant and bar areas, retail spaces, a vitamin and health bar, a wellness center which includes an outdoor & indoor pool as well as a 1000sq m. overflowing pool at the center of the plot, among other things. Brought together by Divercity Architects and MPLUSM Architects, Noūs Santorini brings forth the unique qualities and narratives of the landscape, creating an international environment of modern luxury and indulgence. The hotel’s structures organically follow the natural slope of the ground, while the geometry of the walls creates a dynamic visual landscape that gradually reveals the views.
