One&Only Kea Island

Thoughts on this for the review? My partner and I stayed at the One&Only Kea Island for three nights, and it was truly exceptional. The property is stunning, with individual villas built into a rolling landscape, so every room has breathtaking views of the bay. We were even upgraded upon check-in, which set the tone for a fantastic stay. The staff were outstanding: professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. Our stay manager, Anna, went above and beyond to anticipate our needs and ensure everything was seamless. Communication through WhatsApp made everything smooth and easy. Because the resort is so spread out, you’ll need to use buggies to get around. They take about 10 minutes to arrive unless you schedule in advance, so it’s worth planning your movements a little. Once settled, though, the flow of the property makes sense. The beach is perfect on sunny days, while the pool is wonderfully peaceful. Dining was excellent at both restaurants (beach club + Atria in main building), though we especially loved Atria. Cocktails on the patio before dinner and at the speakeasy afterward became a ritual, and the breakfast each morning was simply divine—something we looked forward to every day. There’s no shortage of activities either. We took a private padel lesson and noticed plenty more to do/explore but didn’t have time to do. Overall, this new property feels both luxurious and full of potential. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and are excited to see how it blossoms in the coming years.

++ Beach club and service/food there is superb ++ Really, really nice view -- It's build like a panopticon. You can pretty much see from every room into every other room. Take a dip in your private pool will be a spectacle not only for your neighbors but also numerous staff touring around. -- The service is one of the worst I ever experienced bad: You ordered a buggy for 1pm? Well well one at 1:30, or none at all for 1 hour. You ordered a sparking water ? Here is you still water. You want a coffee for breakfast? Maybe after 30 minutes. You ordered a bottle of wine? Here is your lukewarm rose. Be prepared for amazing views, in particular the sunrise/sunshine, but also a lot of views of your naked neighbors and staff suddenly appearing on your veranda. And be prepared for IMO the worst service I have seen in years (besides the beach). The locals hate it. Most people won't come back (as far as I got into chitchat). Don't go there.

Amazing hotel, great design, beautiful villas, the most stunning views and the manager and the staff are just perfect ! Looking forward to go back

From the moment we arrived, we found ourselves in an atmosphere of genuine warmth and elegance. Every member of the team was professional and hospitable. They made us feel at ease and provided a comfort that is rare to find. The service was efficient and delivered with an authenticity that made us feel truly special . A special note of appreciation goes to the General Manager Mr. Colson, whose thoughtful presence and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our stay. The design of the hotel is simply amazing! Blending contemporary sophistication with the natural beauty of Kea. The sea views are simply mesmerizing Watching the sun melt into the horizon from our room was an experience we will never forget. For anyone visiting Kea Island, this is, without doubt, the place to be.

I stayed in July for 5 nights with my wife and 2 kids, what an incredible resort! We arrived by ferry and were immediately greeted and then whisked to the resort within 25 minutes. The main building sits atop of a little hill and has the most incredibly views of the sea and a million dollar sunset! The staff are incredibly helpful and kind, from the super professional host team, the team at Bond or their main restaurant. My wife and I had the chance to sample incredible cuisine, the highlight being the 7-course tasting menu of a famous 2-star Greek Michelin chef. The kids spent some tine in their beautiful kids club and quickly found friend they hung out with during the day as my wife and I relaxed at Bond. The Suite was beyond words, incredibly views from a high vantage point - swimming at the private pool during sunset was one of the highlights. I cannot recommend this resort highly enough, simply breathtaking. We look forward to returning in the very near future again!
