Laurel

The concept: A private pause

Villa Laurel feels like a private pause above Naxos, where the island opens toward Chora, the sea, and the changing colors of sunset. Set in a serene hillside location, this four-bedroom villa hosts up to eight guests in a setting that feels polished and deeply restful. Its strongest appeal lies in the combination of panoramic views, a private infinity pool, flexible king bedrooms that can convert to twins, and a calm Cycladic design shaped around outdoor living, privacy, and easy access to the island’s best-known beaches and town life.

Outdoors

The terrace is where the infinity pool stretches toward the view, with sun loungers, shaded dining, lounge areas, a gas BBQ, outdoor shower, and garden spaces arranged for long days that move slowly from swimming to lunch to evening drinks. A fire pit adds a warmer, more atmospheric corner for after sunset, while the pergola and clean white architecture keep the setting unmistakably Cycladic. It is outdoor living with a sense of openness, but also enough structure to feel comfortable from morning to night.

Indoors

Inside, the villa keeps the palette soft, natural, and elegant. The open-plan living area opens directly to the terrace and sea view, with a comfortable lounge, TV, and a fully equipped kitchen. All four bedrooms look toward the sea and open to the pool terrace, creating a strong connection between the interiors and the view. Three bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, one has a private bathroom, and one of the ensuite rooms also has an independent entrance, giving the layout extra flexibility for couples, friends, or families.

Good to know

Naxos has a different pace from some of the more polished Cycladic islands, with long beaches, fertile inland villages, excellent local food, and a strong sense of everyday island life. From Villa Laurel, Plaka and Agia Anna beaches are within easy driving distance, while Naxos Town is close enough for dinner, shopping, harbor walks, and evenings around the old town. Private parking for up to four cars makes exploring simple, whether the day leads to the coast, a mountain village, or a quiet taverna after sunset.
