ANEMI Hotel, Folegandros, Greece

Morning on Folegandros arrives in soft blues and the scent of sun-warmed thyme.

A stroll from the sea, ANEMI Hotel spreads 44 whitewashed rooms and suites like a Cycladic hamlet—stone paths, bougainvillea, and terraces that drink in island light.

It’s boutique and classic in spirit: unhurried breakfasts, a broad pool glittering like a coin, and starry nights that feel far from everywhere.

What Makes It Special

• Cycladic village design—low, white cubes, stone lanes, splashes of magenta bougainvillea
• Spacious pool terrace with cushioned loungers and breeze-cooled pergolas
• Casual Mediterranean dining celebrating island produce and just-caught fish
• Fitness & tennis corners for an easy wellness rhythm between swims
• Calm island base—close to the harbor and an easy hop to cliff-perched Chora

A Day at ANEMI

Morning

Espresso on your patio; the air smells of salt and wild herbs. Breakfast is thick yogurt with thyme honey, warm koulouri, and figs. Wander down to the quay for a quick, glass-clear swim.

Afternoon

Pages turn by the pool while cicadas keep time. Lunch is day-catch with lemon and capers, island tomatoes that taste like sun. A lazy rally on the tennis court or a nap in the shade.

Evening

Golden hour paints the cliffs honey. Take the road up to Chora for views that run to forever, then return for a courtyard dinner under strings of light.

Night

Lanterns guide you back along stone paths; your terrace stones hold a whisper of the day’s warmth and the sea hushes you to sleep.
