NEW FOR 2027

The Grande Grotta is the most recognised natural feature on Kalymnos, regarded as one of the premium sunset spots on the island. Beautiful new Villa Aelia sits below this spectacular limestone crag, giving you incredible views and a privileged sense of place, and all within walking distance of a great choice of little shops and tavernas in Masouri down below.

NEW FOR 2027

Like many Kalymnos villas, the house is built into the hillside in somewhat gravity-defying fashion. Unlike most Masouri villas – which tend to have limited outdoor space – Aelia has a big sun terrace, a Jacuzzi and probably the largest private pool on Kalymnos, all angled to make the most of the fabulous panorama over the sea to Telendos. From this position you get a truly bird’s eye view of the mountains, Telendos and the deep blue of the Aegean, showcasing the island’s magnificent scenery and sunsets to perfection.

Big picture windows mean that the views are just as impressive from inside, which is elegantly finished in soothing colours and subtle detailing for a polished and contemporary feel. There are two bedrooms in the main house plus a separate guest annexe with its own en-suite shower room, making a flexible layout for a group of friends or a family with older children. Teenagers will love Villa Aelia as they can walk down the hill to Masouri – the liveliest little resort on the island – by themselves in around 15 minutes. There are two beaches within a few minutes’ drive: Masouri, which is well set up with tavernas and seasonal watersports, or head in the opposite direction to Kasteli beach, which requires a bit of clambering for the last few metres and therefore enjoys a wonderfully natural, undeveloped feel. The owner of Villa Aelia set out to build the best villa in the area, and we think he’s achieved his goal.

Picture rugged mountains and cobalt-domed churches, a bustling port and timeless seaside villages, all set against an irresistible backdrop of deep, mesmerising blue; Kalymnos and Telendos are quietly magical. Sunsets on these islands are some of the most spectacular we've ever seen, burnishing the mountains to a rich gold, and reflecting the warmth of the welcome that's such a joyful part of a holiday here.

Just a short hop from Kos but a world away in temperament, Kalymnos offers a blissfully laid-back base for a private villa holiday in Greece. This is an island that's held on to its soul; where the tavernas, beaches and villages have all the charm needed to ensure your holiday is a pure delight, whether you choose a villa or luxury private suite.

Kalymnos works beautifully for couples, families and groups looking for a Greek island holiday that’s just a little off the beaten track. At the island's southern end, colourful Pothia offers culture and atmosphere whilst Myrties and Masouri are ideal for families, with the best of the island's lovely beaches and easy swimming. There are watersports and some relaxed, low-key bars, so there is enough going on to keep teens and tweens happy without losing that unspoilt island feel. But for the ultimate serene experience, take the boat from Kalymnos to tiny, car-free Telendos island. Visit for the day or enjoy the unique pleasure of a week at our Telendos Luxury Suites for discrete luxury, far removed from the distractions of modern life.
