Summer bliss is waiting for you at One&Only Kéa Island

All-Villa luxury with private pools

At One&Only Kéa Island, everyone gets their own slice of privacy, and each villa has a pool reserved just for you. Wake up to the quiet of your room, slide open the doors where you need only take a few steps to enjoy a morning swim, find a shady spot to read your favourite book, or soak in the panoramic view. Inside, the atmosphere is warm and personal, with plush beds to sink into, local artwork hung on the walls, and open spaces complemented by thoughtful details that make your stay feel effortless. After a busy day exploring, it’s the perfect place to recharge, order a snack, or watch the sky turn vibrant shades of pink and orange at sunset.

Embrace Beach Club relaxation

The Beach Club is where the energy shifts and the spirit of island life truly comes alive. It’s the perfect spot to soak in the relaxed atmosphere while enjoying stunning ocean views. Grab a cold drink or a freshly made lunch prepared with the finest local ingredients and claim your favourite lounger. Some guests settle in for the entire day, only getting up to take a refreshing dip in the sea, while others prefer to retreat to their villa in the afternoon for time out of the sun. The staff are always around if you fancy another drink, and the mood drifts from laid-back in the morning to social and lively as the sun drops, with music and great food setting the scene for long, enjoyable evenings.

Active days, your way

Create your own adventure at One&Only Kéa Island. Out on the water, you can challenge yourself with paddle boarding, glide across the waves in a kayak, or embark on a boat trip to discover hidden coves and secret spots along the coastline. For those who enjoy fitness with a view, outdoor spinning sessions overlooking the crystal-clear Aegean Sea are a guest favourite.

If you prefer staying on land, explore the island’s beauty through scenic bike routes that wind through picturesque landscapes or coastal hikes that provide breathtaking views and a chance to connect with nature.

Preserving traditions while inspiring discovery

One&Only Kéa Island blends unforgettable guest experiences with a commitment to preserving the island’s identity and economy. Through cultural workshops and partnerships with local experts, the resort connects visitors to Kea’s heritage while supporting sustainable growth. Collaborating with archaeologists, historians, curators, and divers, guests can explore ancient ruins, local art, or underwater worlds with seasoned professionals. These activities inspire a deeper appreciation for the island’s past, present, and future.
