Staays

We’ve tried to keep this place – a special getaway on Kastelorizo, the eastern-most Greek island in the Dodecanese – a secret for as long as we could. It’s small but so perfectly formed, aesthetic but not staged, and it’s nothing short of idyllic. And it feels like a love letter to the island: the burnt orange facade nods to the sunsets, the six sea-gazing suites are tucked inside restored mansions, and the interiors blend Kastelorizian charm with a contemporary, residential feel. Laidback breakfasts under the pergola roll into cocktails at sunset, and everything – from the lime-washed walls to the hammam sinks – feels quietly, beautifully considered. It’s the best of Greek living.
