Kea Village

Welcome to Kea Village! The picturesque island of Kea is one of Greece’s best-kept secrets. Situated in the Cyclades, it feels like worlds away from Athens, yet is just a ½ hour trip by car to Athens airport and 1h by the ferry from Lavrio port to Kea. The beaches on the island are some of the best in the Cyclades, offering beautiful sand and crystal clear waters. Kea Village is built in the traditional style of the Island, especially of Ioulida, and offers two outdoor swimming pools and spacious terraced areas with pergolas offering fantastic views of the Aegean Sea. There are four types of Suites and one Villa available that sleeps two (2), four (4), six (6) or ten (10) people in order to serve our guests needs in the most relaxing manner. We would like to inform you that Kea Village is an integral part of the traditional settlement at the top of the historic Ioulida and is served by the provincial road network and the steps, which are an extension of the paths of the settlement. In order to make your stay more comfortable, we would ask you to inform us if you are accompanying people who would need special care when traveling in the Kea Village complex.

Our Best Family Summer

Reviewed By Zybarra

We have been going to Kea for several summers, but this summer as a last resort we ended up going to lefkothea, the house that belongs to Kea Villages hotel and has ended up being our best summer in Kea. Apart from being a beautiful and typical house of the island, the treatment from all the staff from waitresses, to gardeners, to cleaning ladies, to Xristina and the owners couldn’t have been better or nicer ! They made us feel welcomed and all of our requirements were met within minutes of asking! We are a big family, dogs included and we were ALL taken care off in a excellent and caring way. The house even though old, was beautifully and very practically refurbished making it even a bit difficult to leave to the beach because you would want to stay in, in order to enjoy it. It has a small but beautiful swimming pool all made with incredible taste and lots of detail. Lights through the garden, music as well, sheets and clean towels changed every two days, and the best view of the town, island and the sea. The afternoon and the sunset are unique and unforgettable! There are many stairs in order to reach the main building, were an delicious breakfast was served but it is a house on top of a mountain and it adds charm to it! I would recommend it 100%, we have spent a whole month and not a single day that I have not enjoyed.

White Pearl Villas

Indulge in the surreal view of the sea sparkling under the glorious Mediterranean sun, the lunar rocks dropping sheer to the sea-filled crater, the cruise ships peacefully floating in the cobalt blue waters, the dazzling white cube-like houses daringly perched on the edge of the steep cliffs, and the dormant volcano standing as a silent sentinel, guarding the secret of the lost Atlantis. Words are not enough to describe the divine natural beauty of Aegean’s black diamond. Santorini -repeatedly voted as the most beautiful island in the world by travelers and travel experts- is certainly the jewel in the crown of all Greek islands, with its unearthly raw power, alluring energy, and dramatic landscape. The White Pearl Villas are seductively nestled on the cliffs of Oia Santorini, where the awe-inspiring sunset dazzles the eye of the beholder with its unreal fiery mix of red, blue, and yellow, and orange hues and the infinity of the azure water stretching to the horizon. The villas promise a once-in-a-lifetime vacation experience, with their breathtaking views of Caldera, the volcano, and the Aegean, their stunning architecture, immaculate aesthetics, and unsurpassed comfort, style, and amenities. Each villa has a unique layout –being carved in the volcanic rocks-, indoor and outdoor Jacuzzi and swimming or plunge pools, magically hidden fiber optic lighting, ultra-romantic ambiance, a wealth of amenities, and sensational vistas. If you are seeking villa accommodation in Oia Santorini, look no further than the stunning White Pearl Villas; where ultimate privacy, luxury, and style redefine island chic.

Look No Further!

Everything was amazing with our stay! The location couldn't be better for the main lobby area to each of the villas. From the amazing view from the Infinity Blue Villa to the daily breakfast, we loved it all. The best part of the entire stay was the hospitality of Manolis and Evi and the entire team! They had amazing recommendations and could not have been more attentive and kind. They truly all went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as satisfactory as possible. Thank you White Pearl team for an amazing experience!

A Truly Private Magical Paradise

Reviewed By millertyme52

My wife and myself stayed at the amazing Ayama Hideaway Villa. This place is draw dropping. It is your own personal paradise. Private pool, jacuzzi, private sun deck and huge private Villa with full kitchen. Approx 5-10 minute walk to main resort. You are in your own private getaway down the road. George and all his staff make sure your stay is perfect. Would highly recommend Ayama from the Calm Collection to anyone. Bobbies made sure your Private Villa is perfect, any request anytime of day Bobbies was there for you. Stavroula at the front desk is always there for any bookings, tours or concerns. And at the resort pool (you have your own private pool in your private villa) Jon and Luda made sure you always have a cold drink (Passion Martinis are great here). This is a place to relax as a couple, or to bring your family. Once again George has truly had this a vacation we will never forget.

This villa was incredibly beautiful and the stay was made even better by our fabulous host, Dimitris! He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and was so genuine in his fantastic service. The villa itself was in the perfect location particularly to watch the sunset and was thought of, from amenities to the kitchen being fully stocked. I could not recommend it more!

Katharos Villas

In a serene environment that offers privacy and refined architecture together with a unique, exclusive view of the most famous sunset in Greece, this newly modernized villa complex, built right on the edge of Oia, offers the best of both worlds: designed in traditional Cycladic style, the villas have their own heated pool and a veranda for endless, carefree relaxing hours in the sun. At the same time, being just a stroll away from the lively market at the heart of Oia, the visitor never misses out on the beat of the street. And, on those days when the market is tempting the senses with fresh choices of fruit and fish, your fully equipped kitchen back at the villa is ready to support a beautiful sunset meal at home. The residence consists of 6 detached indipendent Villas, of which 5 fixed for the visitors and 1 for the housekeeper and insists in an area of 4.800 sqm, with a garden of 3.000 sqm and the private parking of 1.200 sqm.

Fantastic stay at Katharos Villas!

Reviewed By Mobile603222

We just got back from a fantastic week at Katharos Pool Villas in Santorini The villas are lovely! They are a great size, and the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and kept cool. The kitchen was stocked with fruit and basics such as eggs, bread and unlimited bottled water and coffee, plus all kitchen equipment to cook with. The rooms were cleaned and beds were kept every day. Every villa has a private pool, which was heated and could turn into a jacuzzi at night. It was just the right size to splash around and the right depth for my daughter to swim in. The villas felt very safe, someone was on hand at all times so my daughter could confidently go off and explore the grounds. The service we received at the villas was exceptional, the owners were always on hand and no ask was too big or too small. Whether it was calling a taxi, arranging an excursion, giving us some bits for the villa. We were even given lifts up the hill to OIA when we didn’t fancy the walk by Alex, Francesco or a member of his lovely family. The location was great, the perfect spot for the OIA architecture, sunset, and the famous port. Plant of places to eat and things to do. May is also a great time to visit as the weather was still very hot but not too much. I would say the villas are perfect for families, and couples of all ages. We would love to go back one day with friends. We would definitely recommend.

Perfect Honeymoon

Reviewed By Dynahlee P

Celestia Grand villas are the most beautiful, romantic, and private accommodation in Santorini. Not only is the place gorgeous, the service is impeccable. Thank you to Niko for being an excellent 24/7 concierge who took time to give us an orientation of the complex on Day One, arrange an amazing itinerary for us with tips and tricks of the island, make reservations for us at lovely restaurants with the best views and genuinely check-in with us everyday to see how we were doing. The views are unlike anything we’ve seen before: Truly breathtaking views of the caldera. We stayed at Erotas villa and LOVED it. The food is a chef’s kiss. Thank you to the chefs and servers who brought us warm breakfast, fresh fruit and drinks via a banquet style meal everyday. We had a lovely spread and dessert every morning and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to start the day. The villa itself gives you access to your own little home: all private balcony, patio, pool, jacuzzi, two bathrooms, an indoor jet pool, and more. Truly a luxury experience that is also comfy, cozy, and elegant. We will never forget our honeymoon here in Santorini at Celestia Grand. Thank you for making our honeymoon an experience we’ll never forget, Niko and team! Santorini has our hearts. Thank you very much! With utmost gratitude, Dynahlee and Joseph

Kedros Villas

Kedros Villas is situated on a gently sloping hill in the Stelida area, providing easy access to Laguna Beach (550 m.) - ideal for windsurfing - and Agios Procopios Beach (1.2 km.), famed for its white sand and crystal clear waters. In its amphitheatrical, leafy location, Kedros Villas – comprising twelve holiday homes with fully equipped kitchens and four suites with outdoor hot tub or private pool – boasts a panoramic view of the seascape. Set in the shade of elegant cedars, our villas enjoy excellent temperatures during the summer months. Wherever possible, natural materials have been used both for their construction and décor….white marble flooring strikes a cool contrast with rich oak fittings….wooden furnishings….elegance, simplicity, comfort. Kedros Villas embraces all three. The wild, natural beauty of the landscape, unspoilt by the passage of time, undulating sand banks, the restless and glimmering sea. All these combine to inspire us.

Amber Light Luxury Villas

Tranquil but isolated (and expensive) for non-drivers

Reviewed By theplanetneptune

There’s a lot that’s good about Amber Lights. Our room was beautiful. It was bright, spacious — cavernous, even — with a sitting area and a cool, cosy bathroom with a large shower practically hewn from the rocks. Our room had a terrace with a small pool and loungers, so we spent nearly all our time there relaxing and looking out across spectacular views of the Aegean and Anafi and watching the planes come and go from the airport. While you get the caldera views in Imerovigili and Fira, you absolutely do not get the same level of privacy that Amber Lights offers. The staff, particularly the front-of-house staff, were attentive, very friendly, and eager to help, and through them we organised an excellent tour of the island with bona fide native Santorinians. If you’re visiting Santorini for complete and utter tranquility, Amber Lights is perfect. It is extremely quiet, and you’re unlikely to see or hear anyone during the day except at breakfast and dinner. Many times it felt less like a hotel and more like a health retreat. But it is quiet largely because it is so isolated, at least in Santorinian terms. If you’re staying at Amber Lights, rent a vehicle. While it’s theoretically possible to walk to nearby Imerovigili, the road there is uphill and dangerous, and the alternative walking route Google Maps suggests is currently impassable due to construction. While the hotel will happily arrange taxi transportation to Imerovigili, it costs a flat €15 to go the 3km, and transfers to Oia and Perissa, for example, are much more expensive (€40 each way). Whatever shuttle bus used to operate from the hotel is not in service, which is a real shame and effectively strands non-drivers who are on a tighter budget or unwilling to brave the local roads (and I don’t blame you). Breakfast was decent and certainly healthier and less stodgy than some other Santorini hotels, but dinner from the restaurant (which was closed until our third day) was fairly average and mostly overpriced. To arrange our mealtime and desired courses, we needed to call reception in advance. It wasn’t possible simply to show up at 7 or 8pm and just order at the table, which was odd. There was also no separate lunch menu. While Amber Lights does partner with an Imerovigili-based takeaway restaurant, getting sandwiches in a plastic bag from a delivery driver doesn’t make for a luxury hotel experience, especially when you’re paying almost one and a half thousand euros for the privilege. What the hotel really could do with is a small shop or kiosk — something that sells bottles of water, beer, and snacks. While our room came with a very well-stocked mini-fridge, the markup was by any standard heinous (e.g, €2 per coffee capsule, €4.50 for a bar of chocolate), and we bought many of the same things for a fraction of the price in Imerovigili and, ironically, from Amber Lights’ takeaway partner. We also struggled with internet speeds for the duration of our stay, and on one evening the entire hotel had a 12-hour outage. Sluggish WiFi isn’t really a problem if you’re out exploring — and I hate to sound like a net-addicted Millennial — but if you’re planning on spending most of your time by the pool listening to podcasts or watching something, it limits the experience. There’s a lot to recommend at Amber Lights — the peace and quiet, the views, the private terraces with pools and hot tubs. However, the transportation issues, the odd lunch and dinner setup, and a few other noticeable issues mean that it doesn’t quite fit its luxury billing, especially given the price.

Fabulous hotel, just book it now!

Reviewed By Barbs25

We had the most amazing 4 nights at this hotel and were so sad to leave! The staff were incredible from arrival, absolutely nothing was too much trouble. Apologies I can’t remember everyone’s names but Poppy, Zee and all the staff were just incredible. So friendly, accommodating and truly couldn’t so enough for you. Our room was very clean, spacious and the beds were comfy too. The bathroom was nice and modern, rainfall shower was lovely. Robes and slippers were a nice touch as well as all toiletries being provided. Towels were big and fluffy and so were the pool towels. Our terrace area was huge and the jacuzzi was great to have there along with sun beds. Breakfast was included and made to order each day. You can choose what you like the night before and change it as you like. Everything from omelette to fruit, yoghurts, coffee, juices - all fabulous and cooked freshly for you. No other food was available for lunch as the hotel has just reopened but they had a great local takeaway that delivered lovely gyros to us for lunch (they take card and reception can help you place the order). Th bar offers a lot of drinks options and they served us by the pool most days (it was quiet so we just nipped down to reception when we needed anything and someone came up to us. The water was free, a large bottle in the room each day and by the pool too. We thought that was a nice touch as most places really rip you off for it. Other drinks as well were well priced like Pimms cocktails at 9€ (fira town start from about 14!) There is a free shuttle 3 times a day to get to fira which was really handy. You can get a taxi but it’s 10-15€ which is a bit mad for a 5 min drive. You could walk it but it’s not a great walk and may take 20-30 mins. Nowhere to walk to from the hotel really but that’s what we loved about it as it’s more remote which offers better privacy than the hotels in the towns. All staff worked so hard, they’re up early cleaning around the pool and making sure the walkways are swept too. The only notes for improvement we have is that more hooks would be useful to dry towels and a rack outside too. Also we booked a room for 3 which was shown as a double bed and double sofa bed but this was actually single sofa bed. Otherwise we really loved the place and would absolutely come back. For the service etc it’s one of the best places we’ve stayed in the world.

Perfect, Spacious, and Beautiful (Air B&B style)

Reviewed By Clboon

VIEW: The most amazing, incredible, peaceful views of their small, private vineyard and the bluest ocean on earch. LOCATION: Amazing, quiet, northern location. 5mins from an amazing cafe bakery. 10-15mins from the ferry port, Naousa, Kolymbitheres, Paros Park, HOSTS: Adorable family. The couple who built and manage the Blue Mare are so helpful and sweet. They stock the room with fruit, a complimentary bottle of wine, and when we asked to use the laundry machine they sent over a cup of detergent so we could wash our clothes. ROOM: Amazingly beautiful and accommodating room with a front garden, back patio, outdoor hot tub, and full kitchen. The room is well supplied, including kitchen and bathroom appliances like oven, dishwasher, and laundry machine, fresh fruit on the table, local wine made by their neighbor who uses the grapes grown on Blue Mare’s property. You may want to stock your fridge with some basic groceries like coffee, fruits, baked goods, etc, or just order local food delivery through one of the local delivery menus in your room. STYLE: The most incredible Air B&B style villa-apartment. The property has two pools VALUE: Absolutely unmatched value!!! $140/night can’t even buy one night at the Motel 8 in many places within the USA, yet at Blue Mare you get a true villa (see pics). PROS: The most amazing value for the most beautifully built property in such a great location. Probably the best value we have ever experienced from a hotel or short-term rental CONS: Lack of beach/pool towels
