Where architecture meets the horizon – Gundari Resort on Folegandros

A masterclass in Cycladic design: how the prize-winning architecture of Gundari Resort harmonises with nature — and our exclusive Smart Traveller offer.

On the rugged cliffs of Folegandros, where the Aegean Sea stretches into the infinite blue, Gundari Resort stands as an exemplary work of architecture — minimal, grounded and abundant in serenity. At this member hotel of Lifestylehotels, design is not an add-on: it is the place. And now: we invite you to experience it through our exclusive Smart Traveller deal.

Architecture that blends with the landscape

At first glance, Gundari reveals its intention: to disappear into the terrain.
Designed by the award-winning studio block722, the resort is conceived as an organic extension of Folegandros’ rocky cliffs.
With linear stone walls, wooden structures, and natural textures, the architecture reinterprets the timeless simplicity of Cycladic design in a modern, sustainable way.

Each of the 27 suites and villas is carved into the slope, with private pools that seem to hover above the sea. The material palette is intentionally restrained — stone, wood, clay, linen — echoing the island’s tones and light.
The result is not a building that dominates its surroundings, but one that breathes with them — a sanctuary of quiet beauty.

Architecture as experience

Every line and corridor at Gundari is designed with purpose.
Terraces unfold naturally into the rock, the spa nestles into the hillside, and the restaurant opens up towards the endless horizon.

Here, architecture creates not separation but connection — between body and landscape, between form and stillness. For the mindful traveller, Gundari is more than accommodation; it is an architectural experience, a place where time slows and design becomes emotion.

Award-winning design

The Gundari Resort has received multiple international awards, including the AHEAD Awards and Architizer A+ Awards, recognizing its outstanding approach to sustainable luxury and spatial harmony.
It represents a new era of architectural hospitality — where craftsmanship, natural materials, and a sense of place converge to create timeless design.
