Designed by architect Mary Kavagia, the hotel embraces the cycladic style of its location while preserving the nature that envelops. All suites and villas are facing the sea with generous terraces that embrace the landscape. The interiors were carefully redesigned to bring more light in and create curves that give a sculpted feel. French designer Frank Lefebvre created custom-made furniture with natural materials, inspired by nature, and harnessing the elegance of simplicity.
