Nooma Beach House sits further south, past Naxos's busier coast — a private garden retreat with its own pool, a rooftop that catches the sunset, and a beach that runs for miles.
Set back among palms and tropical greenery, Nooma keeps close to the ground and looks outward — a main house and a separate guest house, each private in its own right, sharing a pool and a garden between them.
The garden leans tropical rather than typically Greek — palms, strelitzia, agapanthus — and keeps filling in a little more with each season, already giving the place its own quiet, green character.
Up a private staircase, the rooftop terrace looks out over the garden and out to sea, the neighboring island on the horizon — the best seat in the house for sunset.
A shaded outdoor kitchen and dining table sit right off the pool, framed by palms. Barbecue, sink, and worktop included, so there's rarely a reason to go back inside once the sun starts to drop.
Outdoors is where Nooma really lives — a private pool ringed by palms, strelitzia, and agapanthus, and a terrace scattered with sun loungers. The garden leans tropical rather than typically Greek, giving the whole property a wilder, greener feel than most of the island.
Between the pool, the shaded outdoor kitchen, and the rooftop terrace above, there's rarely a reason to go anywhere else once the sun starts to drop.
An open kitchen — properly equipped for anyone who likes to cook on holiday — flows into a built-in sofa corner, the pool and garden visible through the sliding doors.
The main house's bedroom, dressed in deep blues, has its own en-suite bathroom with a large walk-in shower — steps from the pool and the kitchen.
Set apart with its own entrance, the guest house holds a second bedroom in soft greens, with its own bathroom and a sculptural stone basin — private enough to forget it's part of the same garden.
Further south than most of Naxos's villas, where the coastline turns quieter and the beach runs for miles.
Check-in from 3:00pm, check-out by 10:00am. Earlier or later by arrangement whenever the calendar allows.
Full refund up to 30 days before arrival — plans change, and the policy tries to make room for that.
Fly into Naxos direct, or take the ferry from Athens (Piraeus) or Mykonos — both run several times a day in season.
