For the lovers of Astrotourism. Discover Tinos by Starlight, a dazzling new astronomy retreat at Odera, the first luxury hotel to celebrate—and preserve—the Cycladic soul of Tinos, Greece
A Celestial Escape: Introducing ‘Tinos by Starlight’ at Odera Hotel, Tinos
On a windswept Cycladic island where time slows and stars shine brighter than screens, a new kind of luxury is quietly unfolding. Odera—Tinos’ first high-end hotel and design darling of the Greek isles—has just unveiled its latest masterpiece: ‘Tinos by Starlight’, an astronomy retreat unlike anything else in the Aegean.
Launching this September 18–20, 2025, the stargazing sojourn is a collaboration with Valerie Stimac, acclaimed astronomy author and astro-tourism expert. Think: constellations meets Cycladic chic.
Astro-tourism: The Luxe Travel Trend Written in the Stars
As city-weary travellers seek meaning beyond Michelin stars and infinity pools, a new horizon emerges—quite literally. Astro-tourism is trending, and it’s rewriting the luxury playbook. Forget light-polluted skylines: seekers now crave wild, open skies and stories older than time.
Tinos, with its pristine landscapes and luminous night sky, is the ideal backdrop. Far from the flash of Mykonos but close enough for a stylish segue, this soulful Cycladic island is quietly becoming the connoisseur’s choice.
The Itinerary: Three Nights of Starry-Eyed Wonder
Curated by Stimac and timed to perfection with moon phases and celestial events, the ‘Tinos by Starlight’ retreat will feature:
Stargazing Sessions: Led by Valerie, using high-spec telescopes to explore planets, constellations, and deep-sky wonders.
Astrophotography Workshops: Capture the cosmos with guidance from one of the best in the field.
‘Dinner Under the Stars’: A candlelit culinary journey infused with Greek mythology, on a terrace that feels suspended between sea and sky.
Astro Portraits: A unique fusion of night photography and fine art—a keepsake of your cosmic encounter.
Dawn Yoga on the Pavilion: Greet the day in silence, just steps from the waves, as you stretch between the last stars and first light.
Each moment has been designed to offer both aesthetic pleasure and intellectual delight, celebrating the rarest of luxuries: time, beauty, and perspective.
Odera: A Design-Led Homage to Tinos’ Soul
If you’re unfamiliar with Odera, allow me to set the scene. Nestled above the secluded cove of Vourni beach, this boutique sanctuary debuted in 2024 as the first truly luxury hotel on Tinos—but not the flashy kind.
Designed by Studio Bonarchi, every inch of Odera whispers restraint, elegance, and authenticity. Expect local marble and handmade furnishings, Tinian stone walls, and those iconic pigeonholes—heritage architecture turned high art.
But Odera isn’t just beautiful; it’s thoughtful. The hotel champions local artisans, celebrates seasonal produce, and even offers a private boat for off-grid beach hopping.
Why ‘Tinos by Starlight’ Matters
In a world oversaturated by curated feeds and fast travel, retreats like this offer something genuinely transformative. Tinos by Starlight isn’t just about watching stars—it’s about reconnecting: with myth, with nature, and with oneself.
As Valerie Stimac puts it: “From stories and mythology to scientific discovery, this retreat is about falling in love with the night sky again—an experience both grounding and awe-inspiring.”
How to Book ‘Tinos by Starlight’ at Odera
The 2025 retreat is expected to sell out quickly, with space strictly limited to preserve its intimate, immersive feel. For bookings and full itinerary details, visit Odera Tinos or email [email protected].
