A remote eco-friendly sanctuary with high-end design and glorious seaviews.

If you are longing to get away from it all, this villa is your dream come true. The setting, a sun-drenched rock bolted between sea and sky, with nothing but the sound of wind and waves breaking the silence, offers the perfect respite from the bustling city life. The villa is a complex of two independent houses with glorious views of the sea and the island’s arid yet strangely alluring scenery. The white-washed structure is surrounded by stone paved terraces that are completely open, making them feel like an extension of the landscape. Bamboo pergolas run along the sea-facing part of the house, offering shelter from the scorching rays of the Mediterranean sun. The house is also eco-conscious, using wind and solar power for its energy and water needs.

The villa’s relationship to its surroundings continues to be the centre of the guests’ experience even when indoors. The rooms are pierced by tall windows and glass doors that invite the brilliant blues of the sea and sky inside the house. The mood is minimal, with swathes of empty space and soothing bare walls that are complemented by sleek furnishings in modernist lines. Vivid blue tones are set against an all-white backdrop to style up the spaces and evoke the white-and-blue palette of traditional island homes. The bedrooms are fitted with comfortable beds and totally free of clutter to accentuate the sanctuary-like atmosphere.
