The property 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.

Villa Utopia allows guests to enjoy being outside throughout the day and overwhelms the intensity of the climate by providing shade and protection from the elements. And although the villa can accommodate a large number of guests, the landscape is not dominated with oversized volumes. Inspired by the humble complexity of the traditional island vernacular, the architecture was reduced to grey washed volumes, built around a large ‘courtyard’ living area which is covered by expansive but lightweight chestnut pergolas. This courtyard becomes the focal point of the property, seamlessly connected to the living room and kitchen volumes and looking over the two infinity pools and gardens beyond. Beneath the private pool is the independent garden guest suite with a private helipad, 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 property and cleanly divides social and private space.
