Kalesma Mykonos, Greece
Contemporary design meets Mykonian tradition at Kalesma (meaning invitation in Greek). Encompassing 25 suites and two villas—all with private terrace pools and views of the sea—the island retreat was designed as a “village” of whitewashed volumes inspired by the local vernacular with a desire to invite guests to fully embrace the Cycladic lifestyle. “A necessity arose to create an elemental dialogue between the exceptional surroundings and the interiors,” says designer Vangelis Bonios of Studio Bonarchi, who worked alongside architecture firm K-Studio on the recently opened project.
