Naming the Resort
The name Gundari embodies the very essence of the secluded luxury found on the cliffs of Folegandros, a remote island steeped in myth and raw, natural beauty. Drawing inspiration from the ancient Phoenician word “phelekgundari,” meaning “rocky land,” the name reflects the island’s rugged, untamed terrain and deep historical roots.
But Gundari is more than a historical reference. It carries an exotic quality—hinting at a faraway place where dreams come alive amidst the vast, azure expanse of the Aegean Sea.
In choosing Gundari, we wanted a name that feels both unfamiliar and whimsical, inviting guests to discover something unique and inspiring. The exotic sound of Gundari captures the imagination; it speaks to the dreamer, the adventurer, and the seeker of wellness and serenity, delivering a brand that is both inspirational and passionate.


The logo
Gundari’s logo embodies a profound homage to serenity and the ethos of slow living. The turtle, a symbol of this deliberate pace, evokes both its graceful abundance in the waters surrounding Folegandros and the brand’s unwavering dedication to sustainability.
Crafted with exquisite symmetry and understated elegance, the emblem glimmers like a jewel in the vast sea, reflecting a timeless sophistication.
