TRAVEL SERIES || Plan Your Next Vacation at These Five Opulent Villas Filled with Cycladic Aesthetics

As the world slowly re-opens post-pandemic, the desire to discover new lands and experiences is at an all-time high. Our travel series seeks to inspire you with unique travel options and itineraries worldwide, spanning the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and beyond. Join us as we embark on a luxury journey with The Greek Villas nestled in different islands.


If Greece were a colour, it would have to be blue and white. 

The allure of the white-washed villages, blue-domed churches and dry stone walls in perfect harmony with the crystal clear sky, deep blue sea and coastal coves is what makes the country a picture-perfect paradise. Greece is home to 227 picturesque islands, including the famed Santorini, but many more are also worth visiting. We have compiled a list of 5 brand-new luxury accommodations located in different islands by The Greek Villas below, where sun-worshippers can escape from the crisp air to the Mediterranean breeze!

Dali, Sifnos 

The astounding villa Dali boasts panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and vast plains of Sifnos. Its main house is split into 3 different units for different purposes – the main unit hosts a large living room with a welcoming fireplace and kitchen with dining seating for 10 people. The second unit has a king-size en-suite bedroom and pergola-shaded sitting area — a perfect space for lovebirds who need privacy. The guesthouse features a fully-equipped kitchenette and a small living room. Dali’s interior design incorporates minimalist aesthetics with a touch of raw materials such as woodwork and rattan, making it a refreshing backdrop of the breathtaking sea view that seamlessly collides with the natural surroundings. 

Why Dali? Fitness enthusiasts can maintain a perfect physique while on vacation with an infinity pool, an outdoor gym overlooking the sparkling blue water, and a bocce court.

Hampton, Antiparos 

Constructed with stone facades, the villa is an ode to the pristine, untouched landscape of Antiparos.

The living room has a fully-equipped kitchen next to the dining table for guests to enjoy a good chat, whereas a double bedroom and a twin bedroom on the ground floor are interconnected. Want to catch a sun-kissed glow? Enjoy a sunbath on the lounge chairs before taking a dip in the infinity pool.
