Yes. The suites overlook the venue directly. SUNSETS, HEDONISM, and DIONYSIA all take place below, so guests staying at DIO have an elevated view of the full event from their own private space. Suite guests attending ticketed events (HEDONISM and DIONYSIA) will still need a valid ticket for entry to the event floor.

The day at DIO is yours to shape. Morning swims directly from the beachfront, yoga on the grass, coffee at the kiosk, and lunch delivered to your balcony. Air-conditioned afternoons when the Cretan sun is at its most intense, and then as the light softens and the music builds, a front-row view of one of the most sought-after venues on the island. On SUNSETS evenings, the DJ programme begins at 5pm directly below. On HEDONISM and DIONYSIA nights, the full event production unfolds from your suite's vantage point.

SUNSETS features a rotating programme of DJs across the season, with both resident artists and special guests joining throughout the summer. Artists including Zanderberg, Maanqi, and Marasi have featured in the SUNSETS programme, bringing a range of sounds suited to the late afternoon and early evening atmosphere. Check the DIO events page for the full schedule.

DIO's music programme is rooted in the deeper, more soulful side of electronic music. Across the three event series, you'll hear Afro House, Organic House, Melodic House, Melodic Techno, and peak-hour House. The sound is warm, sun-drenched, and intentional; built for a beachfront setting and an audience that listens as much as it dances.

SUNSETS leans into more atmospheric, melodic sounds as the sun goes down. HEDONISM moves through Afro, Organic, and peak-hour House as the night builds. DIONYSIA brings headline artists who each bring their own distinct sound to the programme, so the flavour of each event varies accordingly.

DIO is an age 16 and over venue. This applies to all events, including SUNSETS, HEDONISM, and DIONYSIA. Valid ID may be required on entry. Please do not purchase tickets for guests under 16.

DIO's 2026 season features a strong programme of international and regional electronic music artists across SUNSETS, HEDONISM, and DIONYSIA. You can view the full lineup and upcoming event dates on the DIO events page, where each event lists its headline and support artists.
