Gundari is located on 80 acres of spectacular, raw nature on the secluded island of Folegandros. Set high on the rugged cliffs, overlooking the azure depths of the Aegean Sea. Blending seamlessly into the landscape, Gundari takes its aesthetic cues from the ancient tones of the island itself, with majestic ocean views at every turn. It features 27 suites and villas crafted with natural materials, and designed with authentic, Cycladic simplicity, at one with the earth surrounding them.
