ANEMI Folegandros

The DNA

ANEMI Folegandros – Cycladic Calm, Contemporary Soul
A Minimalist Island Retreat Just Steps from the Port of Karavostasis


A Gateway to Folegandros

Just moments from Karavostasis Port—a breezy four-hour high-speed boat ride from Athens—ANEMI Folegandros is a serene design hotel that blends Cycladic simplicity with contemporary polish. Golden beaches like Vardia and Hochlidia are a short stroll away, while the vibrant town of Chora lies just 3 kilometers uphill, offering access to the island’s cultural soul.


Design – Whitewashed Minimalism with a Modern Edge

Spread across a series of elegant two-story buildings, ANEMI’s rooms and suites embrace classic Cycladic architecture—whitewashed walls, clean lines, stone pathways—while adding modern color accents and refined, minimalist furnishings. Interiors play with light, shadow, and texture, allowing crisp whites, cobalt blues, and natural materials to ground the aesthetic in a distinctly island mood. Each space is thoughtfully composed to feel airy and grounded: open-plan layouts, private terraces, and soft tonal layering create a sense of calm that invites you to unwind, unplug, and breathe.


Atmosphere – Laid-Back Luxury with Local Spirit

While many Cycladic hotels lean into postcard fantasy, ANEMI focuses on refined, unhurried living. The vibe is quiet, cultured, and stylishly understated—ideal for travelers who appreciate architecture that honors tradition while embracing the now. Whether you’re sunbathing by the pool with sea views, exploring the island’s walking trails, or sipping wine on a terrace as ferries glide by below, the pace is set by nature and simplicity.


DNA Hotels Verdict

ANEMI Folegandros is a chic interpretation of Cycladic minimalism, offering a peaceful island stay that is equal parts design‑conscious and soul‑nourishing. With its light-filled interiors, architectural clarity, and proximity to both local culture and natural beauty, it’s a modern classic for the Cyclades connoisseur.
