Be swept away by this romantic beach-side villa. Treasure Island is exactly as the name suggests, set on its own private island in the Cyclades, Greece. Think pristine Mediterranean landscape (spanning an impressive area of 900 acres) and glistening turquoise sea surrounds. The charming islet – near the island of Evia – was bought over 100 years ago by the current owner’s family, who then built this spectacular neoclassical mansion right on the beach.
The villa is designed with your complete comfort in mind. The main house sleeps 8-9 over four bedrooms, with a further 3 bedrooms for larger parties and an additional small cottage. There are plush furnishings and spacious whitewashed rooms with tall ceilings and glass windows adding that extra feeling of light and space. The terraces all around the building allow you to effortlessly find your prime relaxing spot while enjoying those picture-worthy vistas of the unspoiled landscape including tiny, uninhabited islets and distant mountains across the sea. Behind the villa, there’s also a barbecue area with a large wooden table for up to twenty people – the perfect place to socialise and dine alfresco. There's even a cute little chapel on the island.
The entrance hall sets the luxury tone of this villa with its antique French windows and vintage furniture. There’s also a living, kitchen and dining area with plenty of space for family and friends to unwind. Bedrooms at Treasure Island each have their own marble en-suite bathroom, featuring classic floor tiling and fixtures, and some have statement original cast iron bathtubs. The grand master suite perhaps steals the show though with its king-size bed and a large Cycladic wood-burning fireplace. French windows lead to the suite's terrace with lounge chairs.
This idyllic retreat on the northern edge of the Cyclades will show you the most serene and authentic side of Greece. When you’re not exploring your slice of paradise on land via scenic walks or bike rides, aquatic off-shore adventures beckon. Look for vibrantly-coloured fish when scuba diving or snorkelling, sail around the unspoilt coastline or simply sink into the soft sand on the beach. When you’re done for the day, know that cooling air conditioning and heavenly seating await.
Note: The island shown in aerial shot is one of the group of islands in the estate but not where the main accommodation is, for privacy reasons. Guests are able to visit this island during their stay.

Location:
Treasure Island is located in a private island group in the north of Cyclades, close to Evia island. One of the stunning Greek islands, just an hour by ferry from Athens via Rafina Port. The journey from Athens International Airport to the island takes approximately two hours door-to-door, making it a quick and comfortable trip. Ferries depart regularly throughout the day, with several routes to choose from. The ferry journey to Marmari fish port lasts about an hour, after which a boat transfers you to the island. For larger groups, transfers may be arranged in stages. Alternatively, you can opt for a 10-minute helicopter ride from Athens Airport or a 25-minute speedboat trip from Rafina Port.
The island offers over 900 acres of natural beauty, perfect for exploring on foot or by bicycle, and boasts an array of beautiful beaches ideal for relaxing, swimming, or snorkelling. For those keen to venture further afield, a water taxi service is available, or you can hire a boat or speedboat (with or without a captain) to explore the surrounding areas. Excursions such as scuba diving can also be arranged, subject to availability.
Once on the island, there’s no need for a car—bicycles are provided for guests to cycle around with ease. For a unique local experience, you can spend a day fishing with a local fisherman or enjoy a picnic on one of the island's pristine beaches.
Athens, the vibrant capital of Greece, is just an hour away by ferry or 30 minutes by speedboat, making it easy to plan a day trip. Immerse yourself in Greek culture by visiting iconic sites like the Acropolis, a hilltop citadel adorned with ancient structures, or the National Archaeological Museum. Browse the bustling markets for fresh meat, fish, and spices, or indulge in a meal at one of Athens’ many restaurants. As the sun sets, soak in the views while enjoying live music.
Treasure Island is also conveniently close to the cosmopolitan islands of Santorini and Mykonos, both reachable by boat or helicopter. These islands offer picturesque cobbled streets, whitewashed houses adorned with bougainvillaea, and vibrant nightlife. Other Cycladic gems such as Kea, Andros, and Tinos are nearby and worth exploring for their scenic landscapes, quiet beaches, and fascinating archaeological sites.
