The Top 15 Hotels Near Anemolethe Suites Hotel Kimolos

  1. Anemolethe translates, roughly, as "forgotten by the wind," which sets the tone for this whitewashed suite hotel perched on the rocky edge of Kimolos, one of the quieter Cycladic islands. All rooms face the Aegean and come with private terraces; some have hot tubs or plunge pools. There's no bar or restaurant on site, but Chorio is a ten-minute walk, and the main pool makes the lack of anywhere else to be feel like a feature, not a gap.


  2. Twelve suites perched above the golden-sand bay of Pollonia, each with a sea-view terrace and most with a private plunge pool. This whitewashed boutique hotel reads as a Cycladic village scaled down to honeymoon proportions, with no shared restaurant, just al fresco poolside dining and room service keeping things deliberately quiet. The team keeps a list of local skippers, geologists, and walking guides for anyone who can drag themselves away from the water.


  3. A no-children policy and single king beds in every room signal exactly what kind of getaway this boutique hotel on Milos's southern coastline is angling for. Rooms are high-ceilinged and calm, dressed in wood, stone, and clay, with private patios facing the Aegean. The agenda runs to massages, wine tastings, and not much else, which is the point. The nearest beach is a short drive down the hill when the view stops being enough. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.


  4. Breakfast here is the first clue that Sifnos takes its food seriously: farm eggs, local cheeses, and a table so photogenic you'll feel obligated to do something with it. This design-forward boutique hotel sits in fragrant gardens above the Aegean, its minimalist interiors built from Cycladic materials, marble from Naxos, stone from Santorini. Rooms open onto private gardens, some with their own pools, and bicycles wait for the ride into Apollonia.


  5. Folegandros sits between Santorini and Paros and gets a fraction of the traffic, which is more or less the point. Gundari is a clifftop resort of 27 suites and villas built from rock quarried on the property, low enough that it barely interrupts the skyline. Every suite spills onto a private terrace with an infinity pool and sea views that make leaving feel like a poor decision. The spa, the farm-to-table restaurant, and a swim-up pool are there when the deck eventually loses its appeal.


  6. Folegandros is the Cyclades for people who find Santorini a bit much, a remote island where the cliffs and the silence do most of the talking. ANEMI is a 44-room boutique hotel in Karavostasis open May through September, with white-walled rooms, large-scale art above the bed, and verandahs over the bay. Kitchens in every room and private pools in some suites make leaving optional. The on-site restaurant, under a trellis beside a saltwater pool, handles the rest.


  7. Local stone and wood hold the building together, the way the Cycladic wind holds everything else apart. Nōstos is a small design hotel on Serifos, a quieter island that hasn't quite been discovered yet, where whitewashed Chora sits above and Livadakia Beach sits minutes below. Every suite looks out over the Aegean, thyme drifts through the courtyard, and the whole thing feels less like a resort than a well-considered argument for doing nothing at all.


  8. The suites here look carved from the Aegean cliffs rather than built on them, with rough stone walls, dark timber beams, and arched plaster doorways hung with oversized original canvases. This adults-only resort on Paros is a Morgans Originals property, so the styling is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Terraces dissolve into tropical planting, larger villas come with private pools, and two restaurants cover 1920s Osaka and seasonal Mediterranean without apparent irony.


  9. Perched above a quiet bay on Paros's less-frenetic west coast, this 44-room boutique hotel holds a Michelin Key and earns it with custom-designed rooms, private plunge pools, and a pool terrace that becomes the social center by noon. The Cycladic bones get a confident remix of Italian Riviera and Moroccan influences, courtesy of Athenian designers. The crowd comes to disappear rather than be seen, which, on a Greek island, is its own form of luxury.


  10. Liostasi has an open-air cinema on its terrace, which tells you most of what you need to know about the ambition here. It's a boutique hotel on Ios, a Cycladic island slightly off the tourist stampede, and every room comes with a balcony view over the harbor. Whitewashed walls meet contemporary art inside, a couple of suites have plunge pools, and there's an Elemis spa for the afternoons when the pool stops being enough.


  11. Perched just above the cove it's named for, this sleek resort on Paros puts roughly 45 contemporary suites between you and the Aegean, each with generous outdoor lounge space and bathrooms that take longer to explore than most apartments. Five signature suites get private pools; everyone else shares a very persuasive infinity pool or drifts down to the beach club for sunset cocktails. Paros is quieter than Mykonos, and Cove Paros keeps it that way. A Michelin Key property.


  12. Perched on a hillside above Kolympithres Beach with an unbroken view across the bay to Naoussa, Acron Villas is a self-catering villa complex that leans into the vacation-home feeling rather than fighting it. Stone walls and Cycladic white outside, clean lines and plunge pools inside. Full kitchens and private terraces make it easy to pretend you live here, which is probably the point.


  13. Whitewashed stone and minimalist forms in the local Cycladic style, which means Parilio looks like it grew out of the hillside rather than got built on it. This boutique hotel on Paros's northeast coast has 33 suites in soothing neutrals, a central pool ringed with loungers, an Asian spa, and a terrace restaurant with Mediterranean food and a view. Naoussa and Kolympithres beach are a short ride away for anyone who can manage to leave.


  14. Episkopi Beach is a two-minute walk from the door, and most suites come with a private plunge pool so you can ignore it in total comfort. This boutique beach hotel on Kythnos runs on muted tones, minimalist rooms, and terraces angled toward still water, with an infinity pool at the center for sundowners over the Aegean. If the silence gets to be too much, Chora's bars are a short drive away.


  15. Warm neutrals and collected artworks set Nauma apart from the stark whitewashed-minimalism that defines most Greek boutique hotels. This adults-only resort in Naousa is designed to feel more like a private home than a destination, laid out across a series of intimate spaces that borrow the rhythm of a Cycladic village. Rooms run from balcony-only up through suites with plunge pools, and the main pool is small enough to feel like yours alone.
