One&Only Kéa Island
Just a 60-minute ferry ride from Athens (or less by private speedboat), One&Only Kéa Island occupies a dazzling, 65-hectare beachfront on one of the most beautiful but lesser-known islands of the Cyclades.
This is not a place to go and be seen but a place to hide away, serenely cossetted in one of 63 standalone cliff villas, each with a private pool, terrace, courtyard and fireplace. Most have panoramic, almost 360-degree views of the sparkling sea and bay, with floor-to-ceiling windows that usher the outdoors in.
The island invites slow living and a gentle connection with nature, themes embodied by the pioneering One&Only Spa and the raft of activities available, from hiking and mountain biking to diving local shipwrecks and private boat trips to isolated beaches.
Kéa is the only self-sustainable island in Greece and the resort is a champion of locally grown produce, from the lobby lounge and pool bar to the all-day dining restaurant and destination beach club, where evenings are soundtracked by a resident DJ.
