Opening THIS May is NOS Hotel & Villas. A fantastic brand-new hotel developed by K-Studio (Dimitris & Konstantinos Karampatakis). There are 18 suites distributed in four stone built homes with interiors that defend the privacy of space, yet communal areas which encourage togetherness.
This brand new hotel, is in the small town of Faros on the island of Sifnos. NOS, as a name, is inspired by the way the local idiom of pronouncing words cut in half; an abbreviation of the island’s name on which it is located (Sif-NÓS). At the same time, it’s a reference to the Latin pronoun “we, us, our”, which is engraved in the new hotel’s genetic code as a sense of belonging, connection and communication.
Its location is sensational. In the privileged area of Faros and within a “dive away” from the island’s most well-known beaches, NOS rises like an independent peninsula.
The bright and spacious interiors with secluded courtyards, terraces and balconies, unite with unique delicacy and gentleness the inside with the outside, the past with the present. Made for those who seek to have personalized service and unique experiences.
The entrance of the private courtyard with the surprising aqueous element leads to your suite. Geometries and light soften through the arches and vaulted corridors creating a cocoon of privacy. The earthy color palette, the natural, clean and tactile materials -stone, marble and a local type of lime mortar- condense in just a few square meters all the uniqueness of this particular part of the Cyclades and its abundant goods.
The likes of ceramic wash basins and stools with woven tops celebrate the craftsmanship of Siphnean artisans. At the same time Coco-mat mattresses, Marshall speakers, Nespresso coffee machines and tote bags with beach towels are the material references of contemporary well-being.
Joanna Burtenshaw’s original artwork on the walls convey the island’s strong character. while the draped sheets over the open-air seating and dining areas create the effect of a double room giving you the option of moving your indoor activities outside.
With beautiful sea views setting the scene and a luscious menu by Award-winning Executive Chef Athinagoras Kostakos, the enchanting dining terrace awaits for an all- sensory al fresco experience. Fresh ingredients from local producers meet authentic Mediterranean flavours with a modern twist in exquisite dishes that reflects NOS’ contemporary interpretation of the island’s authentic way of life.
It is the perfect place to visit for tranquility, noble simplicity, and refined luxury that magically blends with the serenity and purity of its authentic landscape.
