Gundari

I recently stayed at the Gundari Hotel in Folegandros, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. The hospitality is top-notch, with the team going above and beyond to ensure every guest feels at home. The hotel’s location is perfect—perched on a hillside, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. Whether you're relaxing by the pool or enjoying breakfast on the terrace, the scenery is simply mesmerizing. Speaking of breakfast, the variety and quality were outstanding. Local ingredients are used to craft delicious dishes, blending traditional Greek flavors with a modern twist. Each meal was a highlight of the stay. The rooms are beautifully designed, combining modern comforts with a minimalist Cycladic style. My room had a spacious private terrace with pool, where I could watch the sunset each evening, which was magical. The beds were very comfortable, and the attention to detail in the room’s decor was impeccable—everything from the linens to the bath products felt premium. One of the things I appreciated most was the peaceful atmosphere. The hotel is a perfect retreat for those looking to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of Folegandros. It's close enough to the town to explore local restaurants and shops but far enough away to feel like you're in a private sanctuary. In summary, Gundari Hotel is an ideal destination for anyone seeking a luxury stay on this beautiful island. Whether you’re after relaxation, stunning views, or impeccable service, this hotel delivers it all. Highly recommended!

We just wrapped up 4 amazing nights at Gundari. I'm writing this from our next resort on Milos and having withdrawal pains from having left Gundari.|Highlights:|1. The spa treatments were exceptional (shout out Reegan and Alex)|2. The record players and vinyl collection (and playlists around the resort) were outstanding. It was so incredibly relaxing to chill out in our villa, put on an album, and drink some bubbles while staring out at the Aegean Sea.|3. The staff were amazing. Lilika at the front desk, Paul our wonderful bartender, and Alex our daily driver into/back from town were just next-level great.|4. The little town of Chora was both beautiful and authentic....it truly hasn't been spoiled by tourists. Great food, wonderful service, and incredibly nice town residents.||We are already planning our trip back for next year.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay last week at this stunning resort located on the enchanting island of Folegandros. We were curious about their definition of "Raw Luxury." The location is very "raw" and remote, but nothing is far by car which you will need, if you want to explore the beautiful towns of Folegandros. It is a new resort, so there were some minor growing pains to be expected, but all handled by the staff in a timely manner. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing, and the outdoor dining was enchanting for both breakfast and dinner. The rooms are beautiful, and, yes, the best way to describe is "raw luxury." The rooms have a private dipping pool for relaxation and some rooms are designed with a bathroom that includes an indoor and outdoor shower which is simply divine for nature enthusiasts. ||The management truly cares about the guest experience and that's a 5 star for me.||It truly is a unique property!|Read less

Set in a remote location amid miles of rugged, natural land, Gundari awed and relaxed us with spectacular, sweeping views of the Aegean Sea from cliffs high above, on this quiet gem of an island. Gundari is serene, tastefully designed and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful, anticipating our needs and attending to them promptly. We had dinner most nights in their romantic courtyard; the food met or exceeded our expectations: it was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We could have happily stayed longer if not for plans on other islands. Hopefully we will be back, but we will always remember our magical visit.

We hosted a yoga retreat for 32 people at Gundari + I still can’t find the words to express how amazing our time was at this hotel. The staff is SO accommodating + friendly, the food is spectacular, our room was stunning, the gym was great, but the setting you are in feels like a movie set. My husband and I do not go back to the same place twice but this is a place we will definitely visit again!

We spent a week in Gundari in September. Gundari is my new favourite hotel in Greece, and Folegandros my new favourite island! We loved our room (Superior Cave Suite), the food was amazing and big shout out to the incredible spa team. We will be back again, and again, and again.

We are still reveling from the most magnificent time at the new Gundari property in Folengandros, Greece. This is sure to be a stay that we will remember fondly for many years to come... and a place that we can only hope that we make it back to again in this lifetime. From well before our arrival, the staff was warm and attentive over email, ensuring that we would arrive seamlessly and in style from our previous port in Athens, Greece. The pickup at the port was prompt and the team was eager to grab our bags and already cater to our every need. ||||The staff at Gundari went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Every interaction was warm and personalized, and they were always ready to offer recommendations for exploring the island or arranging transportation, etc. Fanis became a familiar face and someone our family looked forward to seeing every morning at breakfast and behind the desk assisting us with excursions, special accommodations, etc. He is someone we're still talking about weeks later, back at home in NYC. ||||From the moment we arrived at the property we were enveloped in a sense of calm and utmost elegance. This hotel strikes the perfect balance between luxury and the natural beauty of Folengandros. The architecture harmonizes with the rugged landscape, giving it an authentic yet modern feel that immediately captured our hearts.||||We stayed in one of the cliffside cave suites, and the panoramic views of the Aegean Sea from our private terrace and infinity pool were absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to the sunrise over the horizon and watching the beautiful rainbow sky at sunset was unforgettable. The room itself was spacious, impeccably clean, and designed with minimalist elegance—everything from the plush bedding, to the locally sourced bath products exuded quality.||||The infinity pool is an Instagram highlight—an oasis where you can relax while feeling like you're floating above the sea. The on-site restaurants were exceptional. We're still talking about the Greek yogurt creations at breakfast, the Greek salad at lunch, and the incredible risotto offered at dinner. Every meal was a celebration of fresh, local flavors, with a focus on farm-to-table ingredients. ||||The sustainable practices implemented throughout the property, from the use of solar energy to water conservation efforts, are impressive, and we appreciated their commitment to eco-friendly luxury.||||Folengandros itself is a dream, and Gundari's location made it easy to explore the island’s charms, including the picturesque Chora and secluded beaches. The hotel offers complimentary shuttles to/ from town and is always at the ready to help plan a wonderful day/ night out. ||||If you're looking for a luxurious yet peaceful escape, Gundari Hotel is the place to be. It seamlessly combines the natural beauty of Folengandros with high-end amenities and impeccable service. We can't wait to return!
