NOS Hotel & Villas

NOS Hotel & Villas, a five star retreat set above Faros Bay on Sifnos, stands out for its villa style layout and quiet, residential feel just 300 metres from the beach.

The setting unfolds across a gently rising hillside above the bay, where rooms and villas are spaced out through a network of paths, steps and planted courtyards that naturally break up the flow of the hotel. Movement through the property feels unstructured in a good way, with no single focal point pulling everything together, instead allowing guests to move between spaces at their own pace.

Shared areas sit lightly within the landscape rather than dominating it, with the pool, restaurant and terraces positioned to open out towards the sea while still maintaining a sense of separation from the accommodation. The overall feel leans more towards a private hillside retreat than a typical resort, with views appearing gradually as you move through the upper levels.

Staying

Rooms, suites and villas are all designed around outdoor living, with each category opening onto its own courtyard, terrace or balcony. Entry level options feel enclosed and private, while higher categories shift the experience outward, introducing wider views and more generous external space.

The FAROS collection brings larger layouts with private pools and more elevated positions, while suites with plunge pools offer a more compact alternative that still holds onto a strong sense of privacy. Across the board, the emphasis is on how the space works day to day, with shaded outdoor areas and open transitions between inside and out shaping the stay.

Dining is centred around one main restaurant, NOS Restaurant, supported by one bar, keeping the overall structure simple and consistent with the scale of the hotel. The kitchen moves between Greek, French and American influences, with a focus on seasonal ingredients and a setting that shifts easily from breakfast through to evening service.

The bar sits close to the main social spaces, working as a continuation of the restaurant and pool rather than a standalone venue, with cocktails and wines served in a setting that remains relaxed and low key.

Experience

The pool area acts as the main daytime base, positioned to take in the surrounding greenery and open views across the bay, while still keeping a sense of calm rather than turning into a central social hub. Most guests move between here, their private outdoor space and the beach depending on the time of day.

Faros Beach is within easy walking distance, making it simple to combine both without needing to plan around transport. The hotel also supports a more active pace with cycling, walking routes and organised island experiences, alongside occasional evening entertainment that adds some energy without shifting the overall atmosphere.

Wellness

The spa and wellness centre provides a full range of facilities, supported by a dedicated fitness centre. Treatments cover massage therapies, body treatments and a broader selection of wellness options, alongside yoga sessions, fitness classes and personal training.

These spaces are integrated into the wider layout, allowing guests to dip in and out of wellness throughout the day rather than committing to a fixed routine.

Where

The hotel sits above Faros Bay on the south east coast of Sifnos, around 300 metres from Faros Beach and 1.9 km from Chrisopigi Monastery, with access via Milos Airport followed by ferry connections, placing it within easy reach of key island points while maintaining a quieter setting.
