One&Only Kea Island

Although still settling in with greenery and vegetation only half way there, this will be the place to go in 2025. What a stunning location. The beach scene and swimming bay is world class. But still family friendly. The staff are very well chosen throughout. Professional but warm. The rooms and views are what you expect but the restaurant terrace encapsulates all that’s best of a Greek island at night. Stars galore, cool ambience, nice crowd. Yet it just opened so room to improve. The wine list needs some improvement for the clientele but the food is very solid. The island is not discovered … yet.

One & Only Kea a true Gem with all required aspects of high service , quality food , immaculate service , spotless rooms , well superb designed hotel makes wow effect every corner you go, gym is fantastic and healthy breakfast option is unforgettable

Perfection is difficult, hence the allure. Bond Beach Club did not have a few wines on the list, but that and a slight perfunctory level of service one evening apart this place is staggeringly rugged, beautiful, charming, clever and just about perfect. Let’s start with the check in - usually a dull, administration heavy affair. Not so here - overlooking the Aegean, with a drink to hand and being told in a relaxed and comfortable way what was on offer. The Villas are sublime - 3 distinct areas and a private pool with a view that if off the scale. Is there really that much sea? The hotel has been open 12 weeks, but the service levels would lead you to think that it’s been here for 12 decades, hugely helped no doubt by the influx of staff from the St Geran, the original mothership which is undergoing a refurbishment. The Beach Club has a pared down regaled vibe with music that gets a little louder but not too loud as the day progresses, with an interesting and healthy menu that delights. Trips to eat and waterski were arranged at the drop of a hat, with history and geography lessons dispatched on the way up and down the almost off grid road that connects the resort to the hotel. The gym and spa are seriously top notch, breakfast was incredible and then just when you think you have seen and experienced it all you find the secret bar with world class cocktails and an amazing cigar collection. And when you are done (never, but we all need to go home some time) the hotels speedboat whisks you back to civilisation. I am not easily won over - this place won me over several times over. Its amazing.

Perfect getaway for a few days. Rooms are truly stunning, beach is fantastic, and food is great. While there are some improvements that could be made, I do not see a reason to point them out as I expect the hotel will execute on them in the near future.

We had the most wonderful time visiting One&Only Kea Island! it is such a unique resort that has a magical, calming energy. Our only regret was that we didn't book a longer stay! We honestly can't recommend Kea strongly enough! Everything is world class!
