CONCEPT
Immersed into the white rocks of Pogonia in Western Greece, lies Varko peninsula showered by the crystalline waters of the Ionian Pelagos. Inspired by the purity and unparalleled natural beauty of this mythical location, Banyan Tree Varko Bay is designed with the intent to incorporate the region’s rich history, its materials, and typologies in a redefined 21st century representation.
With sustainability at the forefront of its design philosophy, the project integrates into the scenic landscape with organic forms that interact with the natural formations and extend beyond the existing rocks. Hewn into the earth, underground buildings with rooftops bearing plantation allow the form and aesthetics of the peninsula to remain unaltered while the structure exudes a sense of organic luxury forming into a locally-infused haven that rejuvenates body and mind.
The awe-inspiring site of the Varko peninsula provides a true Banyan Tree invigorating sanctuary with understated opulence and peaceful seclusion that aspires to create an authentic guest experience.
