Experiences.
The bay, the boat, the fire on Thursdays, and a spa cut into the hillside. Most of it is included; the rest is arranged by the concierge before you arrive.
The Beach Club
Four hundred metres of private shoreline, twenty eight loungers, and a kitchen that sends lunch down to the sand.
More
The Infinity Pool
Twenty five metres on the main terrace, heated from April, with the bay filling the far edge.
More
Elysis Spa and Hammam
Four treatment rooms cut into the rock, a marble hammam, and therapists who work with island oil and salt.
More
Bonfire Nights
Thursday, on the sand: driftwood fire, a lamb on the spit, raki, and whoever on the island turns up with an instrument.
More
Sunset Sailing
A twelve metre catamaran out of the bay at six, around Antiparos, back under the stars.
More
Diving and Snorkelling
Guided dives on the reef at the mouth of the bay, and a wreck at eighteen metres an hour east.
More
Yoga and Movement
Sunrise practice on the timber deck above the bay, six mornings a week, no charge.
More
The Cooking School
Tuesday mornings in the garden kitchen: the market at Parikia first, then lunch made from what you brought back.
More
The Wine Cellar
Four hundred labels under the main house, two thirds of them Greek, and a table for eight down there.
More
Island Excursions
Marble quarries, mountain villages, the Byzantine church at Parikia, and the empty beaches on the south coast.
More
Little Elysis
A kids club that is mostly outdoors: rock pools, boat building, bread making and a garden of their own.
