One of a collection of four villas in the middle of the island of Alonissos, this home's surroundings couldn't be more Mediterranean if they tried – olive trees, herb bushes and rocky terrain fill the garden, while the dazzling blue Aegean Sea stretches out to the distant horizon.

There are plenty of spots from which to appreciate this dreamy landscape. On hot days, the infinity swimming pool will likely be the top choice, but the loungers on the terrace enjoy an equally lovely vantage point. As well as that, there are a pair of balconies on the home's first floor which also offer a superb panorama.

That's quite enough about views, though. Behind the villa's yellow walls, you'll find an interior that combines rustic features and earthy colours with enough contemporary flourishes, like the flowery armchair and abstract artworks, to stop it from feeling dated. One of our favourite features is the pair of Jacuzzi tubs in the bathrooms that makes it easier than ever to completely switch off and relax.

Of course, there's only so long that you can gaze at the sea before the temptation to go for a swim proves too much. Fortunately, the nearest beach – Tourkoneri – is only seven minutes' drive away. The port town of Patitiri is only ten minutes away too when you fancy a meal out in a seafront restaurant.

Luxury Hideaway

Villa Perimeno

In the warm waters of the Aegean sea, Alonissos plays host to gorgeous beaches, ancient historical sites, and the vibrant port town of Patitiri. From here, you could board a catamaran to start an island-hopping tour of the Aegean, or you could take an eleven-minute drive to this utterly blissful villa.

Isolated from urban areas, this home really plays into the charming serenity of its surroundings.  Set over two floors, this bright white villa looks traditional from the outside. Sandwiched between blue skies above and the blue waters of your private freshwater pool below, the exterior colour scheme might remind you of a certain national flag. This Greek theme continues with olive trees and a welcome basket full of local wine and fresh fruits. Pour a glass to sip as you explore the grounds, passing below the shaded dining terrace and into the minimalist interiors.

Wooden ceilings with white painted beams mix traditional architecture with a fresh, modern colour scheme. This continues throughout the kitchen, living spaces, and upstairs into the elegant bedrooms. With open ensuites and views of leafy trees, you’ll love relaxing in these zen-like spaces after a long day out in the sun.

Fig & Grape

Embrace island life with a stay at this fabulous villa on Skopelos, surrounded by luscious rural landscapes. With a convenient location and a perfectly peaceful setting, you'll feel at home in no time at all. 

The villa's rich orange exterior gives way to a stylish living space where you can truly relax. The wooden beams and tiled floors add some traditional charm, while the large windows flood the area with natural light. If you want to hide from the heat then it's the perfect place to chill out, but we think you'll want to spend most of your time enjoying the fabulous outdoor space. Plunge into the swimming pool and float beneath the bright blue sky, before drying off on a sun lounger. And, when evening rolls around, you can gather your guests at the alfresco dining area and serve up a tasty meal fresh from the outdoor grill. 

Hop in the car, and you'll find several beaches to choose from around the coastline – the nearest one is Panormos Beach, with its crystal clear waters. The island's capital, Skopelos Town, is only 8km away, where you can admire the pretty white houses and dine on fresh seafood at the tavernas. And, if you head inland, you can take invigorating hikes through the hills, discovering tiny villages and monasteries as you go. 

Carefree Summer

A collection of three villas sitting atop a hilltop on the island of Skelopos, this address has a few aces up its sleeve. The first has to be the incredible 360-degree views, which take in the dazzlingly blue Aegean Sea, the village of Glossa and mountains covered in pine forests.

Thankfully, there are plenty of spots from which to enjoy this spectacular panorama, including a selection of covered terraces and the swimming pool in the middle of the outdoor space. You can even appreciate the scenery while indoors thanks to the large windows in each home. When you get around to giving it a closer look, you'll notice that the design throughout all three has a rustic charm, with wooden ceiling beams and earthy tones making for an atmosphere conducive to relaxation.

Although there's certainly an air of tranquillity at the address, it doesn't take too long to reach somewhere with a bit more life. The cafes and restaurants of Glossa take just over five minutes to reach in the car, while Loutraki Beach is a twelve-minute drive.

Sunlit Havens

If you are looking for a luxurious escape with sweeping views across the coastline and the sun-dappled Aegean Sea, the seven-bedroom Daphne Villa carved into the cliffside cape is the place for you. At sunset, a golden light spills over the vast horizon beyond the huge terrace with its impressive infinity pool, where you'll soak up the incredible panoramas. 

You will be treated like royalty by the villa's in-house team: the chef, the maid, and the butler of the property will ensure that you have exactly what your heart desires around the clock. The staff resides in a separate section of the villa featuring a kitchen where dining is prepared, a separate dining and living area, and two bedrooms for the staff.

The two-level home, which boasts total peace and privacy, opens onto a large outside terrace and garden with views of the sea and cloudless sky. Whether entertaining family or gathering with friends, you'll love the pergola-shaded lounge and open-air dining area. You can relax by the pool or explore the local area before visiting the villa's private path to the beach, where you can take a dip in the Aegean Sea. 

On the ground floor of this grand villa, you'll find a comfortable living area if you feel you've had enough sun on the terrace. A gentle sea breeze will drift through your home if you pull back the flowing curtains to let natural sunlight stream in. Inside, you will find curved archways and rustic chic with prevailing wooden details that add to the house's character. Walls and furniture are adorned with tasteful decor and unique artwork. A color palette that adds to the serene ambiance throughout the home; its windows and doors offer a peek at the soothing sea vistas outside.

Guests will discover unique island-themed decorations among the seven beautifully-appointed bedrooms for a touch of nautical tradition. For those seeking extra privacy and seclusion, a private master bedroom suite with a private entrance dressed in leather and wood touches contrasting the all-white walls and seating. A newly renovated top-of-the-range kitchen and a comfortable lounge have direct access through balcony doors to the terrace and pool.

The villa offers everything you need for a relaxing break in style, but there are plenty of things to do in the immediate area. If you leave the villa's private beach, less than 100 meters away is a water sports facility and a beach bar. Skiathos Port is less than 4 mins away from the villa, making arrivals and departures an absolute breeze. Visit your private balcony to soak in the stunning hues of the sunset, bronze golden light brightening the vast horizon after a day exploring the island.

Clifftop Paradise

Nestled away on the outskirts of the peaceful village of Glossa on the equally tranquil island of Skopelos, this newly built villa is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a rather relaxing place to take a break.

The terrace benefits from a sublime view of green hillsides, the sparkling Aegean Sea and a seemingly endless sky beyond that. Guests can enjoy this panorama from the comfort of a lounger, seated around tables or while cooling off in the swimming pool.

The plethora of large windows and doors means that it's even possible to gaze at the scenery from indoors. This also has the added perk of bringing in plentiful amounts of Sporades sunshine into the interior, which goes all too well with the honey-coloured walls and shiny tiled flooring. Bursts of colour come from the bold blue furnishings, the waterfall-themed artwork and an eye-catching mirror in the twin bedroom.

While it's possible to spend most of your time at the villa and be perfectly content, there are cafes and restaurants in the centre of Glossa about fifteen minutes' walk away, while Loutraki Beach sits a similar amount of time in the opposite direction.



Tip of the Tongue

Surrounded by fragrant pine trees and aromatic gardens, this homespun villa is instantly calming. Inside, natural materials and a collection of relaxed furnishings come together to create a sense of grounding. Plus, there’s everything you need to ensure a comfortable stay – a compact kitchen for whipping up Greek-inspired lunches and two cosy, fuss-free bedrooms that tempt extra-long lie-ins.

The living area opens onto a covered patio where you’ll spend most mornings tucking into breakfast at the dining table and sipping a coffee on the bench. When the temperature starts to rise, make a beeline for the private pool and float about in the cool water.

Spend afternoons snorkelling in the shallows of Limnonari Beach, a ten-minute drive away, or head into Skopelos town for its picturesque horseshoe harbour, family-run tavernas and unspoilt coastline. 

Fragrant Pine

This home's sea views are nothing short of breathtaking. You'll find it on the Akropolis of Skiathos, perched above the town's terracotta-tiled roofscape and promising tranquillity. From the glistening infinity pool, admire sweeping panoramas across the pine-speckled coastline, out towards Maragos Island and over to the white sands of Megali Ammos beach below – a four-minute stroll from your doorstep.

A masterclass in indoor-outdoor living, this lavish home beckons you to unwind in the splendour of your surroundings. Upon entry, an open-plan living space instantly impresses with high ceilings and a contemporary design aesthetic. Here, floor-to-ceiling glass doors seamlessly blend the chic lounge and fully-equipped kitchen with the shaded dining terrace and infinity pool, creating an expansive canvas primed for entertaining. Upstairs, the state-of-the-art video games room, fitted with soundproofing and plush sofas, is sure to keep your clan entertained. 

We wouldn't blame you for never wanting to leave this pocket of paradise. Though, if you do fancy exploring, you're perfectly positioned to do so, with Skiathos town and port just a fourteen-minute walk away. After a day of adventure, enjoy an alfresco feast before heading upstairs to the balcony for an evening dip in the jacuzzi. Wine glass in hand, watch the sunset over the horizon before retreating to your sumptuous bedroom for a restful slumber.

Agape

Though the idea of being secluded on an island might not ordinarily conjure up a romantic image, this home on a Greek private island is quite the opposite. Located in the Cyclades, the estate stretches across 900 acres, enabling you and the rest of the group to rejuvenate in a picturesque and tranquil setting. 

Spend mornings meditating on the jetty before enjoying a cup of coffee with an alfresco breakfast. With plenty of outdoor seating options, there’s one perfect to every situation – stealing away for a romantic drink overlooking the water, reading with your feet in the sand of your private beach, or playing board games with a drink in hand. 

Inside you’ll glimpse elements of Cycladic architecture throughout the home, especially in the master bedroom, where the fireplace sits proudly. Though the crisp white colour palette and natural elements found around the house is lovely, the natural beauty outside is hard to compete with. If you wish to explore it in greater detail, you can utilise several cycling and walking routes or take to the waters by boat if you’d like to go further afield. For an even more unique experience, why not join a fisherman on his boat for the day? 

Engaged couples might also be won over by the private chapel and make the island their wedding destination.
