Gundari is a harmonious fusion of architecture and nature, seamlessly blending with Folegandros' rugged cliffs and timeless Cycladic tradition. Block722 envisioned Gundari as an organic extension of the landscape, framing the Aegean Sea with linear stone walls and delicate wooden structures. Each of the 27 suites and villas is crafted from natural materials, with tranquil furnishings that connect guests to the earth beneath. Open-air private showers evoke a return to nature’s simple pleasures. The Bar-Restaurant, a focal point, invites social gatherings, while the spa and executive suites, concealed within the terrain, create a serene sanctuary. Gundari is more than a destination—it's an embodiment of architectural balance and natural beauty, preserving core Cycladic proportions while offering a contemporary retreat.
