One of the Cyclades' hidden gems, the island of Kea invites guests to experience a slice of secluded heaven, as there are very few hotels here, meaning if you're lucky enough to visit – you'll get to stay in a stone-clad private villa like this one. Take in breathtaking sea views overlooking the harbour and Bay of Vourkari. Here you can watch the boats bobbing along and the sparkling waters glistening amid the shimmering sun. With an open-concept living area that extends onto the expansive stone terrace, you needn't miss out on the sunshine and serene views for long as you can dine, relax and cook inside and outside at this villa. Catch the early morning sunrise from the comfort of your bed with a coffee in hand, and sip cocktails as the firey hues light up the sky in orange and pink come evening. When you're not at the beach or exploring the island's natural beauty, you'll have a private swimming pool from which you can spend the afternoons floating around with a perfect view of the seascape.
