Ilya Suites

Top choice in Alonnisos


Rose bushes, lavender and olive trees trickle down to a pebbly beach from these four low-key luxe suites and four-person villa, just north of Steni Vala, with sparkling views of Peristera island. From the bold white-on-white design, beamed ceilings and sleek kitchens to the sea-facing terraces and scented gardens, everything feels soothingly elegant and peaceful. Yoga, hiking and diving arranged.

Six new botanical-themed suites are due by the time you read this.
