It’s not just the scale, though 850 acres of rolling countryside, lochs, and woodlands do make an impression, it’s the feeling of stepping into something timeless. Mornings are slow, whether spent on the golf course, riding through the fields, or not doing much at all. The spa is as restorative as you’d hope, and if you’re up for something more active, there’s falconry, fishing, clay shooting, and more. As evening sets in, the mood shifts. Cocktails by the fire, live piano in The Strathearn, and long dinners that move between the hotel’s many restaurants, including one with a Michelin star. Everything feels considered, but never too polished, just enough tradition, just enough ease, and all the space you need to take it in.

Soft terracotta walls, long arcades, fountains that barely make a sound. The design takes its cues from ancient Moorish architecture, but nothing feels heavy. Mornings move slowly: warm light across tiled courtyards, breakfast under the arches, a quiet stretch of time that feels like it belongs to you.
The suites are spacious, cool, and calm, with sunken baths and private gardens that hold the heat just right. There’s a rhythm to life here that doesn’t ask much: a swim, a book, dinner under lanterns when the air cools and the sky turns deep blue.
Marrakesh is close if you want it, but most days, the quiet wins.

The lobby hums with low voices and soft light, leading into a maze of restaurants, lounges, and a spa that stretches across four calm, deliberate floors. Rooms are restrained in all the right ways, with warm textures, private balconies, and a stillness that feels earned. Downstairs, the pace shifts. Group movement studios host everything from aerial yoga to boxing, the 25-meter pool runs long and low, and lunch turns into evening at Mercato or over omakase. Everything flows. Nothing tries too hard.

Tucked into the black sands of Perivolos Beach, this 12-suite hideaway brings a quiet sense of permanence, as if it has always belonged to the island. The architecture draws from the past, with curved doorways, textured walls, and the echo of the estate’s former life as a horse stable. Each suite is a world of its own, many with private pools or hot tubs and all with just the right balance of shadow and sun. The central pool shimmers in deep green tiling, anchored by a sunken bar that never tries to steal the show. True to its name, taken from the Greek word for story, Istoria unfolds slowly, with every detail inviting you to stay just a little longer.

Designed by K-Studio, the property pairs sculptural minimalism with a laid-back rhythm that feels entirely its own. Guests arrive via a quiet path lined with volcanic stone and bursts of bougainvillea, before stepping into a reception where whitewashed walls meet wicker, cane, and art books that beg to be browsed. Local artworks hang casually, as if placed by a friend with exceptionally good taste. The atmosphere is relaxed but deliberate, where tradition isn’t preserved under glass but reimagined for now. Think Cycladic ease with a modern edit.

Designed for connection, to the land, the light, and the moment, it offers sweeping views in every direction and a rhythm that shifts with the sun. Interiors echo the Cycladic palette in earthy tones and natural textures, refined without losing their warmth. Whether it’s sunrise yoga, a spontaneous massage, or long dinners that stretch into the night, Kalesma moves at its own pace, and invites you to do the same.

Step into a world where the natural environment takes center stage. Surrounded by powder-white sands and crystal-clear waters, the sanctuary’s design is deeply rooted in the island’s cultural heritage, with thatched-roof bungalows and sustainable materials that blend effortlessly with the landscape.

Each moment at Kisawa is a celebration of the island’s untouched beauty, offering guests a chance to reconnect with nature in a setting of understated elegance. Whether you’re lounging in your private beachfront bungalow or dining under the stars, the calming atmosphere invites you to unwind and immerse yourself in the rhythms of island life.

Originally built in 1604 by the Clarisses, this former convent has been meticulously restored by Valéry Grégo over a decade-long project, transforming it into a modern-day sanctuary without losing its historic essence.
