Nautilux Rethymno

by Mage Hotels 

Nautilux is the new 5 star beach hotel that has been added to the Mage Hotels portfolio, in Rethymnon, Crete, for 2022. With a unique design, the single building volume, composing harmonious voids, follows the trail of a spiral, having the courtyard as its centre, in which the liquid element plays a dominant role, connecting the surrounding space with the coast.

The innovative typological organization of spaces, movements and optical illustrations derive in a composition of arcuate and axial lines, produces uneven levels, aerial routes, transparent surfaces, interior gardens, wavy and perforated ceilings. Creating spaces that flow and bring into play to the heart of the building, the light and shadows; offering the visitor the feeling of absolute freedom and multiple viewing points of interest.
