Life works in mysterious ways.
Sometimes, we just need to be in the right place at the right time to realise how lucky we are. To find our calling. To feel at peace. This awakening can happen when you least expect it. Or you can nurture the feeling by spending time in magical places with a special energy.
Places like The Rooster.
Part resort, part retreat, The Rooster was created as a space to become yourself.
To nourish the body with pure food made with the seasonal gifts of the Cyclades.
To cleanse in the crashing waves of an untouched beach. To snooze under a pergola serenaded by cicadas.
To meditate to the murmur of bees and feel anxiety drift away on the sea breeze.
To feast with family and friends on smoky, wood-fired dishes at The Farm or harvest your own lunch from our organic kitchen gardens.

The story behind The Rooster is as overwhelming as the place itself.
More than a resort, it is a life’s project, thoroughly thought-out to last detail by an inspiring woman, a true visionary, generous in call respects.
Feeling blessed for her own Wake Up Call in a decisive moment in her life, a spiritual awakening and re-evaluation of what is real and what matters, she dreamt of a safe haven for those who aspire to personal growth through travel, art and culture, where happiness can be appreciated in small details and simple pleasures.
It is a private oasis of wellness and natural beauty, peaceful and unpretentious, that will reveal the best of one’s self through an unforgettable experience.
Like Antiparos, our Greek island setting, The Rooster is small, remote, intimate, and low-key.
Yet it contains an abundance of everything you truly need. Inspired by the soulful simplicity of the Cycladic way of life, The Rooster is about shedding the distractions and pressures that preoccupy our everyday to focus on what really matters. Time and space to dream, gather, reflect, rest, and celebrate life.
“The secret to happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more,
but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.”
— Socrates
Scattered among gentle hills, untamed gardens, and golden sand dunes, The Rooster’s 16 Houses melt into the sun-blushed landscape.
The position of each house was wisely chosen for the most expansive views, optimum shade and shelter from the wind, and absolute privacy.
And yes, each new day in The Rooster is often heralded by the crowing of a rooster from a nearby farm.
A natural wake-up call, urging you to tune into the rhythm of the earth and the steady exhalation of the waves.
