NEW FOR 2025


For many devotees, the ideal villa on Meganissi would combine luxury, privacy, expansive views and be perfectly placed to benefit from easy access to just about anywhere within fifteen minutes. Magnificently situated, with a spellbinding vista from the luxuriant garden towards the island's dramatic ridged ‘tail’ and across the shimmering bay to Kalamos, and Kastos, Villa Babu ticks all the boxes.

This spectacular property achieves that rare combination: dynamic, contemporary architecture alongside a seamless, sympathetic relationship with its stunning natural surroundings. From a delightful, elevated position the accommodation offers stylish single storey living at its best. Sophisticated interiors blend effortlessly with the chic exteriors thanks to huge glass walls which retract and allow the open plan living space to become one with the pool terrace and gardens beyond, inspiring leisurely strolls through the well-kept garden - a sensory journey in itself, as you meander between fragrant beds of plumbago and rosemary amidst the olive trees. Three superbly appointed ensuite bedrooms, all with spacious wet-room showers, can be accessed internally or independently via the terrace with its covered dining/lounging area and outdoor kitchen, complete with barbecue, sink and preparation area.

Days by the pool here are a dream but when exploration beckons, Babu is the ideal base for discovering the myriad charms of this captivating island. Or for a little more adventure, why not head off across the water to one of the neighbouring islands, just a short boat ride away.

It's just a five-minute drive to the crystalline waters of unspoilt Limonari Beach, magical for swimming and snorkelling, while the narrow lanes of Katomeri village, with its bakery, coffee shop and local taverna are a similar distance. In the last of the afternoon breeze, there’s a cocktail to be had at the sunset bar in charming Spartochori, where the Onassis’ island Skorpios appears to float in the bay as you gaze across towards Lefkada. You’ll find two delightful tavernas here too, perfect for an evening meal tucked away amongst the cobbled streets of this traditional working village with its pretty town hall and diminutive primary school. On Tuesday evenings the local children come out to watch the Greek dancing at Lakis, a memorable and relaxed affair – though not for those who prefer to sit on the sidelines! For something a touch more sophisticated, head down to the harbour in Vathy with its waterside bars, excellent tavernas and array of boutique shops gently jostling for business from those who come ashore from the sail boats and grandiose yachts which moor up for the night.

However you choose to spend your time in this island idyll, Villa Babu is a dazzling and distinctive addition to our Meganissi portfolio, certain to become a firm favourite with families and adult groups looking for an elegant retreat in a blissful setting.

Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.

Local life potters along as it’s done for centuries and there are no bustling resorts on Meganissi, just three flower-filled villages – and yet you’ll still see luxury yachts moored in the harbours. Warmly welcoming, this island is also beautifully unspoilt; its coastline dotted with gleaming white beaches, some accessible only by boat or kayak. Inland, the rolling hills make for wonderful walking country, with shady pine forests and spectacular blue seas beyond.

To complete the picture, we offer a selection of handpicked luxury villas on Meganissi.
