Mineral integration high above Kalo Livadi
Set into the hillside, the property moves away from imposing structures to embrace a sleek organic design. Architect Nicos Valsamakis drew inspiration from the layout of ancient Mycenaean villages to create terraced modules that blend seamlessly into the rocky terrain. Limewash plaster and local stone create a harmonious dialogue with the Cycladic landscape. Shade-dappled alleys and inner courtyards encourage natural airflow, providing welcome cool in the height of summer.
Living spaces oriented towards the Aegean Sea
The interior design celebrates natural light and seamless transparency towards the coastline. The 94 accommodations feature generous floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto private terraces designed as belvederes suspended over the water. The understated decor favours raw materials to keep the focus firmly on the marine panorama. In the suites as in the standalone villas, the layout prioritises peace and privacy, far from the island’s bustling hotspots.
A signature culinary offering and a wellness sanctuary
The estate presents four dining venues highlighting Greek specialities and Myconian produce. The menus emphasise short supply chains alongside garden and seafood ingredients from the archipelago. Meanwhile, the spa houses seven treatment rooms dedicated to Mediterranean relaxation rituals. Treatment protocols harness the benefits of aromatic plants and marine minerals. Finally, the concierge service offers private boat excursions to the archaeological island of Delos as well as helicopter flights directly from the resort.
La Revue des Hôtels’ take
With this opening, the Canadian group delivers a balanced property that fully celebrates the natural heritage of the Cyclades. The understated architecture and careful attention to outdoor spaces allow the resort to blend effortlessly into its surroundings while ensuring an exceptional level of comfort.
