We're proud to see Tella Thera recognised among the world's most exceptional wellness destinations, with its spa featured by Vogue among the Best Spas in the World.

From the outset, our ambition was not to design a spa in isolation, but to create a place deeply connected to its landscape, culture, and way of life.

At Tella Thera, wellness is embedded in the entire guest journey. The relationship to the land, the views, the textures, the quietness of the spaces, and the connection to local culture all contribute to a sense of restoration and wellbeing.

BIG SEE Award 2026 🏆
We are proud to announce that Tella Thera has been awarded the BIG SEE Award 2026 in the category of Architectural Design & Hospitality.
This recognition reflects our vision of creating architecture that is deeply connected to landscape, sustainability, culture, and experience. Tella Thera was designed as a contemporary sanctuary where natural materials, light, and the spirit of Crete come together in harmony.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this journey — our collaborators, clients, and team who brought this project to life.

Last Saturday, Pieris.Architects crew traded blueprints for aprons at an unforgettable team-building event with Franke!
Things got very competitive as our dream teams entered full MasterChef mode — dramatic plating, questionable knife skills, secret “family recipes,” and enough laughter to season every dish.
Who knew architects could handle pressure and risotto?

A huge thank you to Franke for hosting such a fun-filled day of teamwork, creativity, and culinary chaos. Safe to say: no one went home hungry… or humble.
