Cradled by the wild hills above Kolibithra Bay, Perma is both sanctuary and threshold—open to the elements yet held in quiet. With just five rooms, the experience is deeply personal, creating a gentle sense of community that never intrudes. Each space is airy and light-filled, designed to breathe with the landscape. Architecture rises from the earth—raw stone and sun-washed concrete shaped by wind, light, and time. Every suite and residence features a private terrace with a pool, while facing the sea where the horizon stretches wide and unbroken. The scent of thyme drifts on the breeze, and an off-road footpath descending 50 metres through untouched terrain leads to a secluded beach—untamed, unmarked, and almost always empty. Days unfold slowly here, marked not by time but by light and air. Mornings drift into evenings, and the silence between becomes the stay itself.
Serifos remains one of the Aegean’s last true secrets. With no airport and few distractions, it offers a quieter, more elemental rhythm of island life. Guests can hike along old miner’s trails that lead to hidden chapels perched above the sea, swim in the cobalt-blue waters of one of the 70 coves and beaches or explore Livadi’s harbour before ascending to the hilltop Chora for sunset. In town, whitewashed alleys open into sun-drenched squares where locals gather over ouzo and summer figs. The island’s beaches are many—some wild and wind-swept, others calm and golden, all untouched by crowds. Serifos doesn’t ask for much—just your presence. And in return, it offers something rare: the feeling of life lived simply, and well.
