One & Only Kéa Island, Greece

The inimitable One&Only arrives in Greece for the first time with this stunning clifftop retreat, which opens its doors in April 2024. Kéa is the greenest and most fertile of the Cyclades islands, a jealously guarded secret amongst the well-to-do Athenians who holiday here, and this chic all-villa hotel promises an exclusive, boutique experience to rival anywhere in the Mediterranean. 

Airport Transfer

One-hour ferry transfer, 30 minutes by private boat or just 15 minutes by helicopter.

Location

On a sheltered bay on the west coast of Kéa island. From Athens airport it’s a one-hour ferry transfer, 30 minutes by private boat or just 15 minutes by helicopter.

Accommodation

The resort occupies 65 hectares of beautiful beachfront, with 75 one and two bedroom villas that fuse classically Cycladic whitewashed walls with rich woods and gleaming marble. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the incredible panoramic views right into the space, and all villas have a private pool and spacious terrace with daybeds, along with a sunken outdoor lounge with a fireplace for cosy evenings al fresco. In-villa amenities include a deep marble soaking tub for two, flatscreen TV, high-speed WiFi and mini bar.

Restaurants And Bars

You can savour artfully presented Greek dishes at the Taverna, sink into a shaded cabana at the Pool Bar and enjoy the latest chilled beats at the Beach Club while the sun goes down, with a resident DJ on hand to create the perfect atmosphere. There is also a Lobby Lounge serving cocktails, craft beers and fine wines, with the aptly named Sunset Bar perfectly positioned for saluting the end of another dreamy day on Kéa.

Facilities

As you would expect in this part of the world, there is endless fun to be had on the water, including sailing, snorkelling and diving. The enchanting spa includes an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, Watsu pool, steam room and sauna, and there is a well-equipped fitness centre, along with padel and tennis courts. Hiking, trail running and cycling are all great ways to explore the island, and there is an inviting main pool where you can cool off if you fancy a change of scenery from your villa’s private pool. One&Only always delivers the goods when it comes to family fun, and the KidsOnly club offers creative activities including kite making, cooking, face painting and treasure hunts
