Condé Nast Hot List 2022

Character and identity

Hidden down a dirt track on Antiparos, with no signage to announce itself, The Rooster spreads 16 honey-stone houses across 30 acres of valley above Livadia Bay. The aesthetic skips Cycladic white-on-white for something more global-nomad: tadelakt floors, driftwood four-posters, terracotta urns, muted sand and tan tones that cede the stage to the landscape. The open-air bar and modern Mediterranean restaurant draw a low-key, kaftan-clad crowd, while the House of Healing runs serious Ayurveda, reiki, Qi Gong, yoga and ila facials. The register is haute-hippie, discreet, deliberately retreat rather than resort.

Who's it for

Best for:
Design-literate couples and solo travellers who want a genuine wellness retreat rather than a spa tacked onto a beach hotel. Vegetarians and vegans eat exceptionally well here, and the private-pool villas suit anyone seeking seclusion, slow mornings in the yoga shala, and sunsets over empty dunes. Surprisingly workable for families with well-behaved children, given the two-bedroom houses.

Should look elsewhere:
Anyone wanting a buzzy resort scene, a central pool, lively beach clubs on the doorstep, or polished front-desk service will be frustrated. Livadia Beach is wild and windy with no loungers, the location demands a car, and high-summer staffing can feel stretched and impersonal.

Bottom line

The wellness programme here is the real thing, not a garnish, and it sets the tone for everything from the food to the architecture. Book a beach-cluster house where you can hear the waves, splurge on the Ayurvedic treatments, and time your visit for June or September; August brings crowds, tired staff, and the need to reserve everything in advance.
