Sunrise

Set above the eastern coastline of Paxos between Gaios and Loggos, Sunrise occupies an elevated position within more than 4,000 sqm (43,056 sqft) of private grounds, overlooking the Ionian Sea towards the mountains of Epirus and the outline of Corfu beyond. A private pathway connects the property directly to Kaki Lagada beach below, while the setting remains notably secluded and immersed in the natural landscape of the island.

Constructed primarily from local stone, the villa draws on the architectural traditions of Paxos through its solid masonry construction, generous covered terraces and balanced relationship with the surrounding terrain. The house sits comfortably within its setting, with the architecture following the contours of the land and maintaining uninterrupted sea views from its principal living areas and outdoor spaces.

The interior is arranged around a series of connected living spaces that face east towards the water. Large openings allow daylight to move through the house from early morning onwards, while high ceilings, natural materials and a restrained palette create a sense of calm throughout. The main living area combines lounge, dining and kitchen spaces beneath vaulted ceilings, with wide glazed doors opening directly onto the covered terraces and establishing a seamless connection between the interior and the landscape beyond.

The villa comprises six bedrooms and six bathrooms arranged across multiple levels, allowing both privacy and flexibility of use. Each bedroom maintains a direct relationship with the surrounding landscape, whether through private terraces, balconies or framed views across the sea. Natural materials continue throughout the private accommodation, creating consistency between the architecture and its setting.

Outdoor living forms an integral part of the property. A series of terraces extends from the house towards the pool level, where the swimming pool is positioned to take full advantage of the elevated sea views. Covered and open-air spaces are distributed throughout the grounds, creating a variety of settings that remain connected to the coastline and the wider Ionian landscape. The orientation of the property ensures that both the terraces and principal living spaces remain closely connected to the changing light and colour of the sea throughout the day.

A dedicated wellness level introduces additional accommodation for relaxation and fitness, including a gym, sauna and treatment areas. The same material language continues throughout these spaces, reinforcing the architectural coherence of the villa while creating naturally cooler interiors during the warmer months.

The grounds descend gradually towards Kaki Lagada, one of the quieter bays on Paxos, where the property’s direct access to the shoreline further strengthens its relationship with the sea. Despite the peaceful setting, both Gaios and Loggos remain within easy reach, providing access to the harbours, restaurants and everyday amenities that define life on the island.

The elevated position, direct beach access and uninterrupted views establish a rare connection between the house and the coastline. As the light softens across the Ionian in the late afternoon, the landscape unfolds uninterrupted from the terraces to the horizon beyond.
