Upmarket hotel with stylish rooms, a modern restaurant & a pool, plus a kid's playground & cinema. Comprised of 12 Cycladic-style buildings, this upscale hotel is a 3-minute walk from Karavostasi beach and 3 km from Ikologiko Laografiko Mousio Folegandrou, a folk art museum. The bright, stylish rooms and suites feature free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and minibars, as well as sitting areas and balconies with sea or garden views. Suites add dining rooms and pull-out sofas. Upgrades add private pools and Nespresso machines. Room service is available. Freebies include breakfast and parking. There's also a modern restaurant, a wine cellar, an outdoor pool, a gym and a tennis court. Options for kids include a pool, a playground and an outdoor cinema.
"More reliable ferry connections, featuring a twice-daily run of the high-speed hydrofoil from the mainland port of Piraeus, are transforming Folegandros into a destination for travelers seeking an unspoiled outpost. Surrounded by a midnight-blue sea and nestled amid arid mountains blanketed with wild thyme, Anemi’s 44 accommodations are in two-story bungalows linked by stone pathways that wind through aromatic gardens. The heart of the hotel is the minimalist lobby, restaurant, and glamorous infinity pool. The suites, with private verandas and kitchenettes, have contemporary furnishings and vibrant photography that contrast with hand-hewn beams and oversized wood doors. The complimentary breakfast includes a blitz of fresh pastries, egg dishes, and yogurt with local honey and can sustain you into late afternoon. Nightfall presents the option to dine poolside, although the staff will gladly drive you the two miles to the island’s main village of Chora. One of the Cyclades’s oldest medieval towns, picturesque Chora is cordoned off to car and moped traffic and has plenty of inexpensive dining under a lantern-lit canopy of trees."
"The landscape of the Cyclades — stark cliffs, stark sky, stark sea — and its architecture — white walls and simple, squared forms — were minimalist before the concept had a name. And Folegandros, a relatively remote little speck of a place, offers up some of the most breathtaking emptiness in the whole archipelago. Here, Anemi’s forty-four rooms are a studied (and decidedly modern) arrangement in spare luxury. The bright whiteness of the bedroom is offset only by large-scale artworks over your bed and the view of the bay of Karavostasis beyond your veranda." - Le Guide MICHELIN
