VILLA Sandcastle

Aleomandra, MYKONOS

PRICE
Upon Request

Sitting on the ridge of the hill of Aleomandra in Mykonos yet almost entirely hidden from view, Villa Sandcastle looks straight out to sea and the sunset over the neighboring island of Delos.

A 6-bedroom holiday house built for a young, dynamic couple to enjoy with their family and friends, it celebrates its spectacular view from a grounded viewpoint blended into a sensitively landscaped, stone-walled garden that screens it from the road behind.

The house is built upon the idea of slow, laid-back summer living, and encourages mindful connection with family, friends and the freedom to exist peacefully in nature. Form follows emotion rather than function, as every space becomes another opportunity for rest, reflection and exploration.

This courtyard becomes the focal point of the house, seamlessly connected to the living room and kitchen volumes and looking over the pool and gardens beyond. Beneath the pool garden are the private bedrooms, separated for privacy and quietly enjoying the uninterrupted view over the lower garden to the sea. Their separation further reduces the overall impact of the house and cleanly divides social and private space.

The simple white volumes, straight stone walls and light pergola planes sit comfortably in the Cycladic landscape and the efficiency of their layout, centered around the courtyard living space, streamlines daily life. Villa Sandcastle is informed by humble Cycladic tradition, enriched by natural materiality and inspired by contemporary summer living.
