Empiria Group to Debut Eréma, a Design Hotels Member, on Milos on June 15, 2026

Empiria Group will open Eréma, a Member of Design Hotels, on June 15, 2026, marking the hospitality group’s first property on the island of Milos and its continued expansion in the Cyclades.

Set on the southeastern coast of Milos near Provatas Beach, Eréma is conceived as a retreat of openness and restraint. Architecture and interiors respond directly to the island’s volcanic terrain rather than competing with it. Designed by Athens-based ID Laboratorium led by Stamos Hondrodimos, the hotel draws from the island’s mineral-rich landscape, using stone, marble, and softened earth tones to create spaces that feel grounded, calm, and contemporary. Throughout the property, generous openings and fluid transitions encourage a continuous relationship between interior spaces and the horizon beyond.

Eréma comprises 41 all-suite accommodations, each featuring a private pool and uninterrupted panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. The suites are arranged across four categories, all designed to support generous indoor-outdoor living.

The Element Suites are intimate one-bedroom retreats with private terraces and pools, oriented toward open skies and distant horizons. The Drift Suites introduce a separate living room and a more expansive layout, paired with sun-drenched terraces designed for long, unhurried days. The Horizon Suites, the hotel’s largest category, are designed for lingering, with flowing interiors that open directly to private outdoor spaces and sea views that stretch toward the horizon. The Unity Suites offer two-bedroom configurations suited to families or longer stays, combining generous interior space with expansive terraces and private pools.

The hotel will feature two restaurants, with menus created by celebrated Greek chef Yiannis Kioroglou, whose approach centers on authentic local cuisine, thoughtfully reinterpreted with modern technique and a deep respect for seasonal ingredients. Kioroglou’s career spans some of Europe’s most acclaimed dining destinations, shaping a refined yet approachable culinary philosophy. Kioroglou began his journey with Empiria Group in Paros with the opening of Parostia at Cosme in 2022, where he joined from La Petite Maison in Cannes and La Guerite in Saint Barth and with a background in some of Europe’s favorite dining spots.
