Hotel

Laid by Korfos Bay, in the west side of Mykonos Island, Aeonic is an out of the ordinary retreat that swaps extravagance for authenticity, and attractiveness for sophistication. 
The design philosophy pronounces upon clean modern spaces with softer wabi-sabi moments. Embracing the concept of contemporary minimalism, colors, shapes and fabrics eschew exaggeration and quantity composing calm spaces, pared-down to the essence, exhaling a sense of tranquility and peace through simplicity.

The interior subdued palette exists side by side with the vivid view towards the outdoor oasis where the element of water prevails. The light smoothly flows through the generous spaces arousing euphoria while the extended use of natural materials like marble, local stone, and oak in relation to the pitted mortar walls, aspires to stimulate the pursuit for ultimate contact with primitive nature. Within this context, artisanal accents like be-spoke fabric art, ceramics and organic shaped lights, highlight the beauty and charm of imperfection, assuming haptic qualities.
Enjoying spectacular sea view, the commodious premises house all the essential facilities in order to offer a unique hospitality experience. 

The main building consists of delightful common spaces- including welcome area, reception, lounge and dining area, retail and bar- as long as the majority of the splendid rooms. The core element of the plan is the dramatic atrium in the center of the building; apart from connecting the three levels and organizing the uses, it creates an atmospheric game of light and shadow. The skylight stems from the pebble holes of the ceiling, end up reflecting on a water surface on the ground floor, letting its imprint all around the common spaces. The spacious rooms are organized wraparound the building and the various typology offers options for all kind of needs, providing different spatial qualities and possibilities. Each room enjoys its own private generous outdoor space either with an exclusive pool or a Jacuzzi- depending on the floor level. The substantial space and comfy yet high quality furnishing provide the perfect setting for guests to feel a “barefoot luxury”.

Eudemonia finds its own expression in the wellness area on the second floor of the building. Due to the wood like view of the facilities rooms, it blends in the natural scenery and detached from other communal areas, provides the required tranquility for the guest to gain a unique wellbeing experience choosing from a variety of treatments.
Nestled among Korfos cove, overlooking the sea, the restaurant and the pool lounge area are located next to the main building. This social field is a sublime setting of understated luxury and languorous comfort, designed to offer memorable culinary and relaxing moments.

Keeping up with the mindfulness, nature and relaxation aspects, Aeonic Hotel highlights the rich impulses and qualities of the site finding the balance between richness and restraint- when there’s nothing more to either add or take away.

The main characteristics of the architectural design are referred to the modern aesthetic of the existing building by conserving the simplicity of lines and the clarity of style. At the same time, the wide openings of the lobby, restaurant and bar emphasize the flowing dialogue between the internal space and the landscape. The styling choices and architectural handlings of materials and structures produce the necessary complexity of the built environment which in turn reflects to the high quality daily experience of the visitor.

Rooms have been re-designed driven by the need for pure forms and shapes and simultaneously the re-establishment of a more effective connection to the surrounding natural environment. Taking into account the international contemporary trends in hotel interior design, rooms are bright and extroverted. This sense is bolstered by the “open” plan in bathrooms and the use of glass-walls. Wardrobes and bathroom basing tops are designed and constructed by light metal structure which reduces the massiveness and allows the natural light to pass through. Visual cohesion is also ensured by the floating surfaces in the cases of desks and benches.

In all cases and in terms of color choices, there are color block style zones; the white zone which illuminates the space and makes it minimal combined with a light grey one to blend with the floor’s natural stones.
Black details, carefully selected in terms of their position and range, highlight room’s contrast and design definition lines.  In addition, in each room the colored tiles with geometric patterns replace the local traditional and folk rugs which in combination with the similar styling choices in the lighting fixtures provide a more welcoming and warm effect.

The final result undoubtedly satisfies the lovers of that kind design which interacts with the natural landscape, creates a game with materials and light and finally enriches the daily routine of each guest.
