Canadian architect ​​Brian MacKay-Lyons is a master at creating homes that embody their surroundings, often learning about each plot’s history before ever breaking ground. The Point House, for example, was modeled after Nova Scotia’s unassuming fish shacks, with cedar shingles outside and light timber beams inside. The modern twist comes courtesy of the floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows, from which guests can comfortably watch the changing tides of the North Atlantic.

This is a wonderful space for an intimate wedding or special celebration. The Farmhouse is a private sanctuary perfect for family gatherings and special retreats and workshops.
We love the secret garden at The Rooster. A hidden gem situated close to the bar, cozy, casual and romantic, it reminds us of small traditional courtyards found within the Cycladic houses. With small pebbles and lights dancing over your table, placed within trees and flowers that spread their charm, this is a secluded place to enjoy a unique dining experience.

One of a kind: The story behind The Rooster is as overwhelming as the place itself. More than a resort, it is a life’s project, thoroughly thought-out to the very last detail by an inspiring woman, a true visionary, generous in all respects. Feeling blessed for her own Wakeup Call in a decisive moment in her life, a spiritual awakening and re-evaluation of what is real and what matters, she dreamt of a safe haven for those who aspire to personal growth through travel, art and culture, where happiness can be appreciated in small details and simple pleasures. It is a private oasis of wellness and natural beauty, peaceful and unpretentious, that will reveal the best of oneself through an unforgettable experience.
