Location and Heritage
One&Only Kéa Island Resort and Private Homes is set on a dramatic 65-hectare beachfront site on the ruggedly beautiful west coast of Kéa in the Cyclades. The first ultra-luxury offering on the island, this all-villa resort features contemporary cliffside villas, each with its own private infinity pool overlooking panoramic sea views.
Immersing guests in the island’s natural rhythms, the resort offers elevated Greek cuisine, holistic wellbeing, and curated experiences that celebrate the natural, nautical, and cultural charms of the Cyclades.
Architectural and Design Excellence
Designed by acclaimed architect John Heah, the resort’s 63 villas and Private Homes honor Kéa’s architectural traditions. The designs prominently feature hand-cut local stone and Greek marble, complementing Cycladic elements such as lofty atriums, white-washed walls, pergolas, and rounded archways.
Perched on a stunning cliffside, the resort’s main arrival building and villa clusters create a village-style atmosphere, maintaining a sense of space and privacy. The villas, with one or two bedrooms, capture the quintessential island spirit with expansive indoor-outdoor living spaces designed for alfresco living.
The first free-hold branded residences in Greece, a limited collection of Private Homes are available for purchase. Located on the opposite side of Vroskopos Bay, these homes range from one-bedroom to six-bedroom villas, each featuring infinity-edge pools, spacious entertaining areas, native gardens, and sweeping sea views.
Culinary Delights
One&Only Kéa Island celebrates the island’s culinary secrets by showcasing produce from the land and sea, working with local artisans, farmers, and fishermen. The resort’s restaurants and bars highlight the island’s seasonal bounty and traditions, allowing guests to immerse themselves in an authentic Mediterranean diet.
At the heart of the resort, Atria serves refined Greek cuisine and family-style dishes featuring fresh catch of the day, locally farmed meats, homegrown herbs, and produce. Kosmos lounge offers everything from freshly pressed juices and afternoon tea to cocktails on the sea-view terrace as the sun sets.
Kaiki pool bar is the perfect spot to enjoy relaxed bites and creative cocktails by the resort’s impressive infinity pool with awe-inspiring views of the Aegean Sea. Meanwhile, Èpicora wine bar offers an intimate experience with artisanal cheeses and charcuterie boards paired with Greek and international wines.
The Incognito speakeasy bar, hidden behind an unmarked door, boasts a selection of rare rums, fine whiskies, and Cuban-inspired cocktails in an intimate setting for just 20 guests.
Bond Beach Club, capturing the spirited yet laidback energy synonymous with Greek summer, promises barefoot luxury. Here, guests can spend long afternoons with toes in the sand, enjoying bold Mediterranean and Asian flavors, masterful mixology, and curated wines accompanied by vibrant tunes from resident DJs.
Cultural and Recreational Experiences
One&Only Kéa Island offers tailored experiences across land and sea. With four historic wrecks lying just offshore, Kéa is a magnet for deep-sea divers. The resort’s dive center offers underwater adventures for all levels, from beginner PADI courses to technical dives to some of the Mediterranean’s most under-the-radar sites. Above the waves, guests can charter a yacht for sailing trips to hidden beaches and neighboring islands.
Bringing the history of this fascinating island to life, One&Only’s resident archaeologist leads guests to excavation sites in the resort grounds. The team also offers curated activities showcasing Kéa’s culture and traditions, with guided tours to ancient ruins, seaside villages, and the hillside town of Ioulida.
Wellbeing and Recreation
Setting the beat to a slower rhythm, the island’s One&Only Spa is a three-storey waterfront sanctuary dedicated to holistic wellbeing. In partnership with Subtle Energies, the spa harnesses the elemental energy of Kéa, offering tailored journeys in tune with earth and sea.
Inspired by Greek mythology, a variety of treatments combine Ayurvedic healing wisdom, indigenous Kéan botanicals, and cutting-edge techniques. The spa also features watsu therapy pools, cold plunge pools, steam rooms, saunas, jacuzzis, and an indoor-outdoor pool overlooking uninterrupted sea views.
One&Only’s Club One includes an indoor-outdoor fitness center, a dedicated teens’ area, bicycles, and padel and tennis courts. Meanwhile, the KidsOnly Club caters to younger travelers with inspiring and creative pursuits that narrate the island’s legendary stories.
