Island Residence in Vari 166 72, open June–October.
Your guests arrive by private boat to a sun-drenched Aegean estate where whitewashed terraces overlook the Cycladic sea.
At Island Residence, they experience Greek island life unfiltered—moving between candlelit dinners on cliff-edge platforms, swimming in crystalline waters accessible directly from the property, and gathering in galleries where contemporary art punctuates every courtyard.
This is a working artist's retreat that becomes your celebration, where 72 square meters of living space expand into infinite horizon.
