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 on a private island in the Cyclades, one the Greek islands, and is just an hour ferry ride from Athens. With over 900 acres of natural land to explore via walking or cycling, as well as a myriad of stunning beaches for relaxing, swimming and snorkelling, there’s plenty to see and do. And, when you’d like to explore further and leave the island for day-time excursions, there’s a water boat that can be used like a taxi or you can rent a speedboat or boat and sail yourself. Boat hire is approximately 110 euros per day or 150 euros with captain for a 4.80 metre boat (plus fuel). Other excursions such as scuba diving can be booked but these are subject to availability.
On the island you do not need a car, bicylces are provided should you wish to cycle around. From the airport or port a taxi or minibus transfer can be arranged. The journey from Athens International Airport door to door to the island is approximately 2 hours which makes it a very quick and comfortable trip!! The Ferry Boat leaves from the Port of Rafina or the Port of Aghia Marina to go to Marmari fish port which is about an hour's journey. There are several ferries during the day and alternate routes. From there a boat takes you to the island, for large groups this may need to be done in stages.
For a unique local experience, you could join a fisherman on his boat for a day or while away the afternoon with a picnic on the beach. With Athens, the vibrant capital of Greece, just an hour away by boat or 30 minutes by speedboat too, it’s easy to head into the city. There you can get your culture fix with impressive historic sites including the Acropolis, a hilltop citadel topped with ancient buildings, and the National Archaeological Museum. Pick up fresh meat, fish and spices from the markets of dine at one of the restaurants. By night, enjoy the sunset while listening to live music. The more cosmopolitan islands of Santorini and Mykonos are also nearby to Treasure Island, easily reachable by boat or helicopter. There you can explore the charming cobbled streets lined with whitewashed houses draped in pretty bougainvillea. Cycladic gems like Kea, Andros and Tinos are also must-visit islands for their hilly countryside, quiet beaches and archaeological ruins.
