Calilo
Elsewhere, the island of Ios has a long established reputation for being one of the hottest party destinations. However, that has now undergone a transformation due to the launch of several luxury properties during the past few years. The luxury hotels opened in and around Cyclades have a more upper crust clientele.
The duo helming the property Angelos and Vassiliki Michalopoulos bought one-fourth of the island a decade ago to protect it from increased construction activity and tourism rampage. Now, they are selectively constructing on parts of the island. The most ambitious venture under this is to Calilo, which is established on 1000 acres of land complemented by a beach of the same dimension.
There are 30 suites in all, including a spa, wellness center, three restaurants and a water sports center. The restaurant will have preparations made using only the freshest ingredients sourced from the property’s in-house organic garden. If guests wish to check in on the town’s community scene, boat transfer options are available.
The los Island is located smack in the center of one of two of Greece’s most frequented tourist destinations – Santorini and Mykonos. Committed to the cause of environmental conservation and responsible urban tourism, the land owners focused on building the sustainable resort on 1% of the land, while leaving the rest undeveloped.
The ultra sophisticated five-star resort nestled in the center of a 1000 acre plot features six miles of shoreline that guarantees complete privacy. Whether you want to swim or practice water sports or walk on one of the resort’s chic seaside island trails, there’s plenty to experience here. Plus a vibrant nightlife is merely 25 minutes by car. Yes, along with Crete and the very happening Ibiza, Mykonos is one of the hottest yet underrated European party destinations.

It is a striking cultural hotspot that came into being a staggering 5000 years ago by folks who were known to the earliest European settlers.
