Book

The Mykonian region of Aleomandra is named after the sacred Delian stables that, according to myth, provided shelter to the horses of the Olympic god Apollo. Centuries later, Kalesma Mykonos rose from that same Mykonian earth to become one with the legends. Both the architecture and design of Kalesma were inspired by the laid-back glamour of Mykonos, with its whitewashed walls, neutral, earthy color palette, and Cycladic aesthetic.

The Details

What makes it Kobu

Kalesma's Authentic Philoxenia. “Philoxenia” is a Greek word translating to “friend to the stranger,” and the team embodies that phrase. The true “philoxenia” experience is fundamentally linked to feelings of familiarity, comfort, relaxation, and happiness.

Designed by K-Studio, Kalesma’s overall aesthetic effortlessly blurs the line between indoors and out, as the open-air concept allows guests to constantly interact with the surrounding scenery and to take in the breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea.
