Mykonos
Cali Mykonos
The invisible balance of matter and light
On the east coast of Mykonos, where the cliffs plunge into the sapphire shades of the Aegean, stands Cali Mykonos, a resort carved into the rock, built with respect for the morphology of the terrain and the Cycladic heritage. Local stone, precious marble, white volumes: an architecture that does not seek attention, but inevitably captures it.
The lighting design, signed by PROLIGHT (Gold Lighting Design Award 2023), followed a precise philosophy: light must never overpower architecture. It must become the breath.
A discreet guide in the landscape
Cali Mykonos unfolds like a hilly village, a succession of volumes and paths carved into the stone. Along the external stairways leading to the 40 suites and villas, Piega 80 guides the guest with extreme discretion.
By day it disappears. At sunset it reveals itself: precise cuts of light, integrated in the stone, transform each step into a sculptural detail.
Where light meets the horizon
The beating heart of the resort is the spectacular 110-metre infinity pool, which seems to merge directly with the sea horizon. In this area, light has to measure itself against the force of nature and the materiality of the elements:
- Piega 140 traces the paths of the pool area with a sculptural and minimal presence, blending into the marble surfaces without altering their purity.
- Tono i IP67, on the other hand, works on the surrounding rock formations: precision optics mould the shadows on the stone, transforming the natural walls into living scenic backdrops.
