If a panoramic view of the ocean is what you’re after for a summer vacation, then this villa on the small, Greek island of Kea is probably the ideal spot for you. The home itself has been finished with a luxurious touch and although modern, definitely pays homage to the Cycladic design Greece is known for. Split across three levels, you’ll continuously discover another nook to claim as your own as you unwind in whatever way you see fit. We recommend afternoon naps with balcony doors and window agape, reading curled up on the sofa, putting together a meze platter in the generous kitchen, or making full use of the gym and spa area to burn off excess energy and rejuvenate. With the sunken jacuzzi situated right under a skylight, we recommend tipping your head back in the glow of the sun as you unwind with the jets turned on. Outside, where the real magic happens, we recommend long lazy days spent sunbathing on the floating beds. Honour Oceanus, the Titan of old, with a dip in the cool waters, and gaze out over the impressive view. Nap in the hammocks, sink into the beanbags, and when lunchtime rolls around,... fire up the grill for a feast. Dine alfresco and take full advantage of the very unique sunken seating area right in the pool – enjoy a glass of wine from there as you dip a hand into the water next to you. Enjoy the tranquillity and recharge, and when you’re ready, explore the beaches of Kea and track down a taverna for an authentic meal.

About Kea
Considered by some as the gateway to the Cyclades, Kea is the closest inhabited island of this idyllic archipelago to Athens. Yet, it remains largely undiscovered. Those who stop by are treated to quiet sandy beaches on the crystal Aegean, a dramatically hilly landscape hiding quaint towns, and ancient archaeology. While some of the beaches have a scattering of loungers and umbrellas, the island is largely untouched by tourism so...
