Block722's new 5-star resort for JW Marriott in Marathi, Crete is a benchmark for sustainable Mediterranean hospitality. Set on the steep hillside above Souda Bay, the project combines contemporary architectural precision with the spirit of the Cretan landscape. Spanning 59,700 sqm and accommodating 450 guests in 160 rooms and suites, the resort incorporates traditional elements, regenerative design strategies, and local craftsmanship to form an authentic experience for guests. Passive and active environmental systems - from green roofs and photovoltaic panels to native plantings and locally sourced stone - allow the resort to minimize its footprint while enhancing the biodiversity of its region. A respectful blend of tradition and innovation, this landmark development exemplifies Block722's ethos: refined simplicity, environmental integrity, and restorative luxury.
