Our Lifestyle

Irresistibly rebellious. Forever fashionable

Arta was created as an alternative to conventional, lackluster short-stay accommodation for those who enjoy an authentic engagement with art, design, fashion and architecture wherever they travel. The decor of each of Arta’s rooms has been carefully considered and contain an amazing assortment of original works of art, photography and gallery ephemera.

“A little Greek purity, a touch of rustic Puglia and Larry Gagosian’s cast aways thrown in for fun!”

Roger de Vores, Gallerist

From vintage fashion photographs by Louise Dahl-Wolfe, to works by Arte Povera icon and local resident Jannis Kounellis, Zero member Gunther Uecker, as well as memorabilia from Hydra’s expatriate writers such as Henry Miller and Patrick Leigh-Fermor, the collection is unabashedly eclectic. And just to keep you in the know, you’ll also find a changing selection of current fashion, travel and culinary books that highlight kindred spirits and contemporary innovators from some of the world’s trendiest getaways. Whether it’s farm to table food from Napa, the barefoot luxury of Tulum or the gypset culture of Ibiza, Arta embraces an all-encompassing connectivity with the global creative scene.
