CALILO

We stayed at Calilo for 3 unforgettable nights in 2023 to celebrate our anniversary, and I can honestly say I’ve never experienced anything like it. We booked the Rebel Soul suite, which came with a massive outdoor space, five private pools (including a heart-shaped one!), and a stunning ocean view. It felt like we were in our own little world.||From the moment the hotel picked us up and greeted us with welcome drinks and warm hospitality, everything felt surreal—like we had stepped into a scene from White Lotus. The entire resort is breathtaking, secluded, and peaceful. It’s not crowded at all—likely due to the exclusive price point—and while the resort itself has a huge footprint, there aren’t too many rooms, so privacy is a big highlight.||The private beach was beautiful and serene, but honestly, we spent most of our time enjoying our own pools. The hotel also offers a lot of extras like a main pool, multiple restaurants, complimentary yoga classes, and more. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to make guests feel pampered and relaxed. One night, the staff even changed the room’s ambiance and prepped it for bedtime—such a unique and thoughtful touch.||The level of service here was next-level. The staff were genuinely kind and attentive—not something we felt in many of the more tourist-heavy parts of Greece. Calilo felt like a private island experience, and it completely changed the way I see luxury travel in Greece.||Yes, it’s expensive. But it was 100% worth it. This place was the highlight of our Greek vacation—everything else felt overrated in comparison. If you’re looking for true luxury, privacy, and a once-in-a-lifetime escape, Calilo is it. I would absolutely return!

Stayed in the serenity suit for 3 nights most beautiful room me and my wife have stayed in! We came here for our honeymoon and when we arrived to our room they had gave us two bottles of champagne as a gesture which we thought was really nice going that extra mile! As I said the room the serenity suit It was that good we didn’t leave it to see the rest of the hotel until the second day! the staff at this hotel are amazing an lovely and friendly people every single one of them cannot do enough to make your stay more enjoyable! If you want a unique experience then this is the hotel for you! As I know the hotel will read our review thanks again to every member of staff for making our stay that much better!

Our experience at this resort was absolutely outstanding from the moment we arrived until our departure. The staff were not only incredibly professional but also genuinely warm and welcoming. Every interaction was met with a smile, and the level of service exceeded all expectations. A massive shout out to the manager Theodore who was constantly there and checked in regularly to make sure our stay was exceptional. It's clear that the whole team took great pride in what they do, and it showed. Our private pools, the main pool as well as the beach was beautiful, but my favourite had to be the onsite church, it was definitely done with such specific detail to attention. Highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a combination of luxury, comfort, and exceptional hospitality. I celebrated my birthday here and have to say it's been my best birthday yet!

What truly sets Calilo apart is its atmosphere. It’s not just a hotel – it’s an experience. Whether you’re relaxing in one of the many pools, wandering through the art-filled gardens, or enjoying a peaceful meal overlooking the sea, there’s a sense of tranquility and inspiration everywhere you go.

My now fiancé booked Calilo for us and planned our engagement to be within the hotel grounds. I can wholeheartedly say I have never experienced a hotel like it. ||From the minute we arrived off the ferry from Santorini we were greeted by hotel staff to drove us to the hotel (45 min drive). The views to the hotel are breathtaking. On arrival at the hotel we were greeted by Calilo's hosts who explained about the hotel, gave us a complimentary drink and some nibbles whilst we waited for our baggage to be taken to our rooms. Our host explained the meaning behind the artwork (all being hand crafted by the owner) and things we could do throughout our time at the hotel. ||We stayed in the Oasis suite, which overlooks the main pool area, and included our own 3 private pools. The beach is less than a minutes walk. Whenever we ordered room service the drinks were delivered through an outside door near the pool area, so staff didn't enter the room, and didn't walk past the main entrance which overlooks the pool. Everything felt very personal and private. ||The beach is immaculately well kept and the sea is your typical gorgeous crystal blue Greek sea. Thanks to our suite booking, we didn't have to make a reservation at the beach and we had our own cabana. However, although most rooms were booked when we were there, we didn't find it overwhelmingly busy and there were only 4 other parties on the beach with us - all with sufficient distance between us. ||Staff can't do enough to help you. In fact, when we went from the bar to the games room, staff would run over before we'd gotten up to follow us with our drinks. ||Prior to our proposal (which was a private fine dining meal situated above the spa, overlooking the mountains with an infinity pool infant of us), my fiancé gave staff the ring box, in his words "so that I wouldn't see it in his pocket". Upon return after the proposal every staff member we walked past congratulated us, everyone stopped to look at the ring, and we were provided with drinks at the bar. ||The cocktail connoisseur at the bar (I forgot his name) created handcrafted cocktails for us that weren't on the menu and explained the reasonings behind his menu. They are all inspired by people and places he's been to, and each drink compliments a cigar or a food choice. His partner, who works at Calilo, is also lovely. ||We had an amazing time and plan to come back next year. Thank you for making this trip so special for us!

The staff is so professional and super friendly, rooms are huge and clean, all the staff were amazing I can’t remember all the name but at the beach, at the buffet, in the restaurant all of them are just great, jouana, maro, cairo, George at the beach, Laura! We were lucky to eat there their chef is just amazing. It was such an experience. I highly recommend the place and for sure will be back

All impressive, beautiful facility, great food and good breakfast. Not too windy like we experienced in Mykonos, nice and relaxing beach. All good!

Amazing place, a combination of art and luxury. Great food, great staff, totally recommend it. People here offer top tier service and everyone is so nice.
