Cavo Ilya | Hotel in Karystos

Seaside hospitality

Overlooking the unspoiled beach of Agia Paraskevi, the project integrates harmoniously into the emerald waters, rugged landscapes, and unique flora of the area. Emerging from low vegetation, shaped rocks, and natural sand dunes, it offers a serene retreat in this untouched bay.

 

Design Philosophy

The design approach is based on the harmonious union of aesthetics and functionality, with respect for the natural environment and the character of the place. Each space has been carefully designed to provide comfort, flexibility, and a natural flow between the living area, kitchen, and bedrooms, enhancing the sense of freedom and tranquility. The design prioritizes the guest experience, creating conditions that allow both social interaction and privacy depending on individual needs. Spacious living areas, open kitchens, and well-organized bedrooms ensure fluidity and adaptability.

 

Custom Elements

Large glass surfaces take advantage of the views towards the Aegean, allowing natural light to flood the interiors and creating a strong sense of continuity between inside and out. Plants, natural decorative elements, and color palettes inspired by sand, rock, and wood strengthen the connection with the landscape.

 

Materials & Lighting

Materials such as exposed concrete, local stone, and warm wood combine with earthy tones and subtle textures, while a crafted patina adds depth and a sense of handmade detail. Lighting has been meticulously designed: concealed fixtures and ambient lamps create a warm, understated atmosphere that enhances the materials and textures of the space.

Every element of Cavo Ilya Villas reflects the philosophy of creating a place where serenity, elegance, and functionality coexist harmoniously, offering guests a distinctive experience of coastal living.
