Gundari, Folegandros: Where the Aegean Still Feels Untouched
July 30, 2026 · Amedeo Pennacchi
Some Greek islands demand to be seen. Folegandros simply waits to be discovered.
Set high above the Aegean, Gundari is surrounded by 80 acres of windswept cliffs, native vegetation and uninterrupted blue. The resort's 27 suites and villas were designed by Athens studio Block722 using stone, timber and earthy tones that seem to emerge naturally from the island itself.
Here, mornings begin beside a private infinity pool as the horizon slowly changes colour. Afternoons are reserved for swimming, long lunches and exploring Folegandros, an island without an airport or cruise terminal, where whitewashed villages and quiet beaches still move at their own rhythm. As evening arrives, dinner at Orizon celebrates the flavours of Greece through the produce of the land and the surrounding sea.
Gundari is not about excess. Its elegance comes from simplicity, thoughtful craftsmanship and a deep respect for its surroundings.
It is also exactly the kind of place where an A.M.E. shirt belongs. Worn open over swim shorts beside the pool, or buttoned with relaxed trousers for dinner, a naturally breathable, hand-printed cotton shirt brings personality without feeling overdressed.
Because the best travel wardrobe should move as effortlessly as the journey itself.
If we were visiting this incredible hotel, we'd pack the Paris Shirt.
