Our Antiparos home

 

the serene Cyclades experience

Antiparos is our new darling. It is a destination we fully discovered last summer and fell in love with instantly. Although, it is 1,9km away from its popular neighbor Paros, it remains a slow paced island. We loved its natural-chic style, the nature lover’s dream beaches as well as its refined cuisine and retro nights.

Our home is located in one of the most beautiful hills, overlooking the Aegean and Despotiko island. The view of Apollo’s temple just across our terrace renders its divine energy to complete the silence of the hills, offering a place to surrender.

 

simple luxury

Simple days are the fullest. Our Antiparos experience is ideal for those who seek privacy, a touch of history, naps by the pool, movement and trips around the island. Blessed by ‘meltemi’, the seasonal, dry wind of the Aegean, the island is endowed with natural beauty, sandy beaches, hikes, magical sunsets and a charming Chora.

Our daily schedule is there to support and engage you, but there is plenty of free time to socialize, roam free, and live as you please.


itineraries

Our itinerary is a simple blend of mindful movement, self-reflective rituals and life by the sea. The simplicity is intentional in order for every body to find their pace and embrace the elements as the retreat progresses. Time is mostly spent outdoors in big terraces, remote beaches & hand-painted pavements.

Suggested timings & rituals are offered so our retreat can unfold in a respectful manner. You can join as little or as much as you like, and explore with the group or on your own.


free to roam

Our location up on Agios Georgios hills, is situated just a short walk away from an iconic bay with famous tavernas and small, uncrowded beaches.

Each of the four separate houses offers uninterrupted views for your morning gazing, a quick dive in the pool or even a walk to the empty early morning beach before class.

Although right next to civilization, this place feels ancient, wise and tranquil. Explore hiking or swimming, and let the wild landscape set your free.


days to remember

Stepping off the boat to Despotiko island, we walk on history. Decades of excavations have unearthed Apollo’s temple and ancient ruins proving the islands links to mainland Greece.

Our boat day is a day full of myths, sea adventures & dives in untouched waters. We rest and savour the sound of the waves, the sun on our skin and the calm company.

We return home somehow different, sunkissed and with that sweet dizziness in the eyes. We settle in our bodies and get ready for some deep rest.


local nutrition

Food in Antiparos is what we call in Greek ‘evdaimonia’= the joy of the spirit. Is described as food for the soul, the subtle body and the eyes. Food prepared by local hands with deep knowledge of Greek culture, macrobiotic nutrition and respect to the land.

Our specialized chef is with us every day, preparing our meals from the early morning and taking care of everyone’s needs.

Greek recipes are always on the table, as well as special creations that truly nourish our body. Freshly baked bread, colourful salads, fresh fruits, nourishing microgreens grown on our counter, homemade kombucha, and all the traditional recipes you want to try from the hands of a local.


the homes

 

A luxury collection of five private houses located on the southern tip of Antiparos. Their privileged location up on the hill offers an overwhelming view of the Aegean, the uninhabited island of Despotiko and the Ancient Sanctuary of Apollo in a safe haven from the elements.

Although the houses are blessed with the privacy and serenity of the hill, they are just 15’ walk away from the sea, and the vibrancy of the southern beaches of Antiparos.

Each house offers uninterrupted view to the Aegean, minimal chic Cycladic design, and the unmatched silence of a protected bay.
