Metamorf – O(a)sis:

20 Years of Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà 2005–2025

A metamorphosis is a transformation, a change in form and structure that often signifies evolutionary growth toward something better.

20 years byblos stamp

This spirit continues to animate the world of Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà. Through a natural process, the hotel’s organism is constantly evolving — still growing, yet now mature, as it celebrates its 20th anniversary.

Twenty years of development, always centred around the guest, in a continuous pursuit of improving service and rekindling wonder.

The hotel wishes to honour its guests through this important milestone!

All of this unfolds within a museum of inhabitable art, a place where transformation is celebrated in every form.

We welcome travellers seeking new experiences into a vibrant environment where relaxation, attentive care, Michelin-starred cuisine, and pristine nature come together.

The journey itself becomes a metaphor for life, where everything flows and time reminds us of its transient nature. Perhaps it is an ancient memory that calls us back to the earliest days of humanity — when we were nomads, searching for water sources, living off fruits, herbs, fishing, and hunting, reading the winds and the tracks of the wilderness, moving as a necessity for survival. Back then, our resting places were caravans, igloos, yurts, tents, or treehouses.

In today’s world, when we travel, we step away from our routines. This departure often becomes a way to rediscover ourselves and explore new horizons. We feel the need to break free from daily monotony, in search of something that makes us feel truly alive.

Often, we seek out a place that, even from a distance, appears to us like a mirage — a dream oasis, fertile and green, emerging from the desert landscape of our souls. Thus, the hotel we choose becomes a sanctuary, a refreshing stop far from the everyday.

This is what Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà aspires to continue being in the years to come: a Venetian villa where guests are invited to dream of ancient times, to journey back into different historical periods, and to enter the creative imagination of many contemporary artists — becoming, through what we see, hear, smell, taste, and touch, transformed and reborn into a new state of awareness.

Enjoy your journey into the future through this sensational experience!
