Sleep

Peaceful and unpretentious, this laid-back wellness retreat seamlessly blends nature, design and mindfulness. Inspired by the soulful simplicity of the Cycladic way of life, your refuge is one of 16 houses, reminiscent of the island's humble farmer's cottages, made from local sand-coloured stone. Wildly romantic, serene and private, the houses melt into the sun-blushed landscape, each one carefully positioned to take full advantage of the expansive views.

Each house opens up to the elements, with generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, as well as a private pool and invigorating outdoor shower. The interiors have a nomadic aesthetic - Balinese daybeds, weathered wooden tables and driftwood four poster beds. The understated tones and textures put you instantly at ease. Suitable for couples and families with older children, some houses have an open-plan living and bedroom space whilst others have one or two bedrooms with separate living areas. There is also a three bedroom Farmhouse located on the owner's nearby farm.
