Naxos, a little-known Greek island that offers better beaches than Mykonos, is home to a collection of two boutique hotels that are bringing luxury to the island. The Naxian Luxury Collection comprises two sister properties, Naxian Collection and Naxian on the Beach. Both properties comprise villas and suites and are owned by local couple Yannis & Maria. While the design of the properties is cohesive, and their commitment to sustainable luxury is equal, their locations and appeal are vastly different.
Naxian Collection is arguably the more family-friendly of the two, offering a range of suites and villas that can accommodate families of any size. The villas feature their own pools with lovely views of Naxos’ farms, mountains, and the ocean. They are two stories tall, with a bedroom and bathroom on each floor. The suites are designed two to a building, and while they do not connect, they share a pool and a terrace, making it simple for families or friends traveling together to enjoy the common pool space. The suites and villas are done in the traditional Greek style with whitewashed plaster walls to keep the rooms cool. They are minimalist in design, great for those who find excessive décor tired. While there are no bathtubs on site, the rainwater steam showers are spacious and convert the bathrooms into your own personal spa.
A standout at this property is the bar, whose size can be deceiving. The property boasts a whiskey and bourbon collection of over 500 labels. For those who are more interested in wine, the property has a wine cellar devoted to the best wines Greece has to offer. Dinner in the cellar can be arranged, and a tasting lead will be provided by the property’s sommelier.
Naxian on the Beach is an all-suite property, with each suite coming with its own jacuzzi, either indoor or outdoor, depending on your preference. This property is all about location, as it is a stone’s throw from Naxos’ Agios Prokopis beach. With a beach bar at the ready as guests check-in and not a bad view in the house, this property is ideal for honeymooners or couples on a romantic getaway. The suites are situated in duplex buildings, and the thick walls and large terraces then themselves lead to the desired level of privacy that couples look for. Fresh Greek fare and a creative cocktail list will keep guests happy while relaxing on the beach or in their suite!
