The views are captivating, the suites are superb and the beachside location is blissful; just what the holiday doctor ordered for a week or two of pure indulgence.

Comprising just five spacious suites and a two-bedroom villa, the atmosphere at Ilya is intimate and serene, enhanced by the pared-back, elegant décor that lets the natural beauty of the setting do all the talking. Each suite is individual in outlook (please see our Details section for full descriptions), but all have their own outdoor space in the form of a furnished balcony and/or terrace, and each has a sea view. There’s also garden area with sun loungers, plus more loungers directly on the pebbly beach, so you can pick your spot for an hour or the whole day and surrender to the deeply relaxing power of the famously clear and clean sea off Alonnisos.
Each of the suites has a handy kitchen corner so you can keep your drinks cool or rustle up breakfast, or you can order a breakfast box to be delivered if you prefer. For basic shopping and a good range of tavernas, Steni Vala is about seven minutes away on foot. If you’d like to take an excursion into the protected waters of the Marine Park or hire a small boat, it’s often possible to arrange pick up in Steni Vala too, or for a wider choice of options, Patitiri is just a 15-minute drive or taxi ride away.

Looking for that elusive, unspoilt Greek island for your next holiday? Picture Alonnisos, where pine trees tumble down to turquoise seas, and pretty beaches invite you to swim in the clearest water in the Aegean. No ritz, no glitz, just an authentic working harbour, a picturesque old town and a scattering of holiday villas where you can enjoy blissfully peaceful days and glorious island views.
Alonnisos is part of the Northern Sporades National Marine park, a protected, land-and-sea wilderness which offers a haven for the Aegean’s most at-risk wildlife, including the critically endangered Mediterranean monk seal. A holiday on Alonnisos means slow travel at its best, with enough tavernas, beaches and gentle activities to make a wonderfully relaxed holiday without detracting from its serene and timeless beauty.
