Antiparos
A luminous island with low-key luxury living, loved by movie stars.
Time stands still on this small Cycladic island, with its turquoise waters, tranquil beaches and hushed villages. At just 35km2, Antiparos is a small gem with a big heart, loved by movie stars from around the world and the perfect choice for low-key, luxury living.
Antiparos is an island of stunning luminosity, with its white houses, cobbled streets and colourful gardens bathed in an astonishing, bright sunlight. With no airport, the only way on and off the island is via the small boats weaving between the island and its larger neighbour, Paros. The mesmerising beauty of Antiparos lies in its landscape. Mature olive groves are dotted with luscious fig trees, their sweet, ripe fruits bursting at the seams come August. The scent of rosemary, orange blossoms and and jasmine waft perennially across the island, whilst clusters of cheerful pink bougainvillea are perfectly offset on the whitewashed walls of every traditional house.
An array of picture-perfect beaches blanket the coastline, ranging from golden sands to smooth white rocks, but all providing warm, crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming. Windsurfers should head to Spot One Surf Club, who also offer SUP yoga, kayaking and paddle-boarding in the warm waters of Psaralyki Beach.
Chora, the main town, is filled with small boutiques, galleries, excellent restaurants and bustling cafes and bars, but always remains peaceful enough to not feel like a typical tourist destination. Such is the magnetism of Antiparos that Tom Hanks owns a summer house on the island, whilst Hollywood luminaries including Matthew McConaughey, Nia Vardalos and Whoopi Goldberg have been known to visit.
positioned directly on the waterfront at agios georgios in antiparos, cloe occupies a rare coastal site with approximately 200 metres of private sea frontage facing despotiko and the open aegean beyond. currently under construction, the estate has been conceived as a contemporary interpretation of cycladic architecture, arranged as a series of low volumes that follow the natural contours of the land and maintain a constant relationship with the sea.
the property extends across 635 sqm (6,835 sqft) of interior space arranged over three levels. rather than presenting itself as a single dominant structure, the residence unfolds gradually across the site, allowing the landscape and horizon to remain central to the experience of the property. natural stone, timber and white-rendered surfaces create a restrained architectural language that responds naturally to the surrounding coastline and the character of the island.
the principal living areas occupy the main level, where large openings frame uninterrupted views across the water and create a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces. living, dining and kitchen areas are arranged to face the sea, with broad terraces extending the living environment outward towards the coastline. throughout the day, natural light moves across the stone surfaces and shaded areas, while the orientation captures the prevailing sea breeze from the southwest.
eight en suite bedrooms are distributed throughout the residence to provide both privacy and independence. five guest suites are positioned with direct access to terraces and outdoor spaces, while the primary suite occupies the upper level, where its elevated position commands wide views across the bay and towards the changing colours of the aegean. the lower level incorporates two additional guest suites, staff accommodation and supporting service areas, all designed to benefit from natural light and ventilation through carefully integrated architectural solutions.
the outdoor spaces follow the natural topography, creating a sequence of terraces and sheltered areas that gradually descend towards the water. the infinity pool is positioned to maximise the uninterrupted sea views, while the wider grounds maintain a direct visual and physical relationship with the coastline. throughout the property, the architecture remains secondary to the setting, allowing the sea and surrounding landscape to define the atmosphere of the estate.
direct waterfront ownership of this scale is exceptionally uncommon in antiparos, particularly in a location that combines privacy, uninterrupted views and immediate access to the sea. facing west towards despotiko, the property enjoys a constantly changing coastal outlook, from the clarity of the morning light to the softer tones that settle across the water in the evening.
scheduled for completion as one of the island’s most significant new waterfront residences, cloe combines substantial scale, contemporary cycladic architecture and an exceptional seafront position within one of antiparos’ most sought-after coastal settings.
