We invite you to leave behind the more hectic urban environment and bustling islands and treat yourself to some warm, sunny days with plenty of space to dream, reconnect with nature, creativity, and self and to play. We hear the call to “look up” and remember the wonder of being alive.
A gathering beneath vivid night skies to reconnect with nature, creativity, and self.
Together, we take inspiration from the sky that guided our ancestors.

It’s a real home from home, with views that will take your breath away and stay in your heart forever. The sunsets are some of the best you’ll see on the island.

Stargazing + Music
Soundtrack to the Stars
By night:
Guests will recline on the Milos House terrace beneath the pristine Cycladic sky, accompanied by curated ambient soundscapes — designed to heighten stillness, openness, and awe. Music will be carefully chosen to complement the rhythm of the stars.
By evening firelight:
One night will include an interactive sharing circle, where guests can bring a story, song, or sound that means something to them. A chance to be heard, witnessed, and connected — a campfire-style moment of community and exchange.

"The Magnificant, peaceful views towards the sea and the undulating outline of the other islands go a long way towards bringing the Greek myths to life . What a fantastic place to stay to recharge and refresh, with an owner who was helpful and great for recommendations." Liza
"Atop the hill at the very heart of the Aegean Sea and the Cyclades Islands both geographically and emotionally. A view as far as the earth's curvature will allow, magnificent sunsets to enjoy in solitude from the terrace, Such a contrast to the packed evening streets of Oia on Santorini which is billed as the "Sunset Capital" of the world. A perfect spot for sun worshippers and moon worshippers alike. If you need somewhere to re-charge and write your novel then this is ideal. Fine beaches and restaurants nearby. Everything you need for a chilled out holiday or meditiative retreat." Simon
"Spending time at Milos House is wonderful. Pete is a role model of a host, steady, fun, generous and practical. The sunsets from the terrace are spectacular and it’s such a fabulous venue to gather, go to beaches or dinner in nearby stunning Alyki." Alison
"Imagine sitting on top of a mountain looking over the islands of the Cyclades like a Greek Goddess? That’s how the view feels from the terrace of Milos House. Yes a car is a necessity to get there as you are driving up a mountain. It’s isolated, it’s peaceful in fact the ideal location for some relaxation and meditation" Colin
"I spent a wonderful week at Milos House. The house is situated at one of the highest points on the island with magnificent views. The retreat itself was enjoyable, relaxing and enlightening, tailored especially for the group. Pete was the perfect host, ensuring our stay had every comfort. He was happy to share his favourite beeches and tavernas. The only downside was it ended all too quickly." Mark
