EXPLORING KIKLIO
KIKLIO is comprised of various low-level, highly crafted buildings, dispersed across the island to ensure maximum enjoyment of the exceptionally beautiful natural features and vantage points of the island.
Arrival by boat at the small jetty of Cove Beach, on the eastern side of the island, brings you first past the Welcome Building and the Beach House; small structures that blend into the gentle downhill slope of the southern tip of the island. The softly-surfaced road curves along the western cliff, overlooking the Watersports Beach and arriving at the largest of the KIKLIO structures; The House.
The House sits in the most prominent location, on the peak of the south hill, looking across a narrow stretch of shallow turquoise water. The design takes full advantage of its position, wrapping the contours in a circular plan that frames each angle of the 360 degree view and enjoys the sunrise, sunset and every minute in between. The structure is stitched into the land by stone walls radiating from the centre, digging into the ground and inviting vegetation to creep up and blur the boundaries of internal and external space. Cantilevered roofs tilt and arch above, providing shade and protection without compromising the views, filtering the elements to maximise the comfort of time well-spent in this unique, natural retreat. Private bedrooms enjoy an early sunrise on the eastern side of the building, whilst peaceful afternoons culminate in spectacular sunsets viewed from the communal spaces of the western half.
