Villa Leila

A Cycladic Hideaway Above Golden Beach

Perched in the rugged hills above Dryos village in the serene Golden Beach area of Paros, Villa Leila offers a harmonious blend of contemporary minimalism and raw natural beauty. Designed as a single-level retreat that embraces the contours of the surrounding rock-strewn landscape, this 320 sq. m. villa opens fully to the horizon, drawing the eye toward the deep blues of the Aegean and the silhouettes of nearby Cycladic islands.

Elegant Outdoor Living with a View

South-east oriented and completely unspoiled by neighbouring structures, the villa’s outdoor setting invites unhurried days under the Grecian sun. An infinity-edge lap pool seems to pour into the sea below, while shaded pergolas, expansive terraces, and low-slung built-in sofas wrapped in soft pillows create countless spaces for repose. A water-massage feature within the pool adds a gentle touch of indulgence, ideal for winding down while taking in the panoramic view.

The outdoor kitchen and dining area—anchored by a sculptural cement table and colourfully cushioned banquettes—form the heart of alfresco living. A dedicated bar and coffee nook add to the villa’s relaxed sociability, making this terrace not just a mealtime destination, but a place to gather at any hour. At the highest point of the property, a private pétanque court offers a charming way to enjoy the warm Cycladic evenings.

Minimalist Interiors Framed by Nature

Inside, Villa Leila maintains the same commitment to light, air, and flow. An open-plan living area merges seamlessly with the terrace through wide sliding doors, allowing for uninterrupted views and movement. The palette is clean and elemental—stone, whitewashed walls, raw textures—offset by colourful cushions and curated boho details that soften the minimalist architecture.

The villa features four en-suite bedrooms, three of which open directly to private outdoor spaces. Each has been carefully styled with contemporary touches and laid-back elegance, offering both privacy and a connection to the surrounding nature. The fourth suite, set apart beside the kitchen, is ideal for additional guests or teenagers—it can comfortably sleep two but is spacious enough to accommodate four, if desired.

English-style courtyards punctuate the villa’s layout, drawing natural light deep into the interiors and enhancing the villa’s sense of openness and serenity.

A Balanced Island Retreat

With shaded parking for two vehicles, a thoughtfully designed layout, and immersive views from nearly every corner, Villa Leila presents a balanced experience of seclusion and connection. Whether basking by the pool or enjoying the glow of sunset from the hillside, guests here are never far from the elemental beauty of Paros.
