If you can tear yourself away from your serene suite, wander round Kalesma’s gardens planted with 60-year-old olive trees, vines, citrus fruits and fragrant herbs. At the heart of the property is the hotel’s plateia (town square), bordered by the infinity pool, cocktail bar, and Pere Ubu Restaurant. For the ultimate relaxing afternoon, head to the spa, offering products and treatments designed by Dr Barbara Sturm, including two treatment rooms, a hammam, and a cryotherapy area offering respite from the warm, Mediterranean sun.
Rather than serving modern fusion dishes, the Pere Ubu Restaurant focuses on classic ingredients and time-honoured dishes, giving the food a real sense of place. As the highest building on the grounds, it offers commanding views over the pool, Ornos Bay, and the island of Delos beyond, so you can enjoy Cycladic classics with unbeatable vistas. Expect local cheeses and dips (think tzatziki and taramasalata), freshly baked pita, spiced lamb meatballs, octopus, and Mediterranean sea bass.
