Forget everything you know about the white-washed works of Santorini or contemporary lodges of Milos, this high-flying top-of-the-world hotel on the wild isle of Folegandros turns to brown, local limestone for its foundation. But this is a big opening for the early Bronze Age island whose places to stay normally consist of a local’s home or a sweetly converted fisherman’s hut on the Aegean. The aim of the game? To tune into nature. The architecture, which is mostly cliff-hugging, slips right into the landscape, there’s also over 80 acres of terrain that sets the tone for the stay. Interiors are honest and sleek – with as much of the focus on the outside as the inside and colours sticking to earthy tones and soft finishes. It’s the type of vacation to experience – reading by the pool, diving into the bright blue seas, picking produce from the farm for dinner, and feeling the pure magic of land.
