One&Only Kéa Island

Very unique and isolated hotel. Amazing rooms and views. Service is mostly lovely (Except for the front desk manager) but generally overly attentive. The spa is absolutely beautiful, but far from rooms and only accessible by a long steep hike or the hotel buggy system, which they haven’t quite worked out yet. The hotel itself is about 20-30 minutes from the main town, which is only accessible if one pays for a car and tolerates very steep and windy roads to get there. The town itself is beautiful and picturesque. Hotel is best for people seeking remote feeling luxury and very attentive service. People who don’t mind either long up and downhill hikes to get to places in the hotel or don’t mind being dependent for the hotel for their buggy system and external transportation. Lastly, if you book a speedboat from Athens, know that the wind affects your ability to come and go which could affect airport arrival and departures, etc. This happened to us which ended up being quite inconvenient and expensive.

Just started our family trip here to the newly opened One & Only in Kea, Greece. An impressive and unique resort, that lowers your blood pressure as soon as you see it as you approach it by the resorts private boat ferry from Lavrio. Architecture respects the rugged, arid nature and rocky, hilly terrain. Had a wonderful dinner, woke up to this incredible view that rivals Santorini, did a spinning class outside with a group with a breathtaking view and ocean breeze and finished it off with a magical, most-penetrating deep tissue massage from Dishka… ordered room service for breakfast and will now head to the beach…I feel rejuvenated already and have yet to spend 24 hrs at the resort….
