'This ultra-exclusive resort sits on a private peninsula in the Saronic Gulf, just 45 minutes from Athens yet worlds away from the mainland bustle.'
What's Special?
One&Only Kea Island is the brand's first Mediterranean property, featuring just 63 villas and suites cascading down dramatic cliffs. The resort sits on the ancient island of Kea (Tzia), where archaeological treasures like the famous Lion of Kea statue date back to 600 BC. The property's infinity pools seem to merge with the Aegean Sea, while the spa incorporates healing rituals from ancient Greek traditions.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a sunset dinner at the cliffside restaurant during the summer months when the Meltemi winds create perfect sailing conditions in the bay below – you'll witness dozens of yachts creating a magical floating light show.
Don't Miss
Take the hotel's private boat to explore the island's 36 secluded beaches, including the pristine Spathi Beach. Visit the ancient Oak of Kea, a 1,000-year-old tree considered sacred by locals, and hike to the Hellenistic watchtower ruins with panoramic views of four neighboring islands on clear days.
