Azale
Imagine lounging beside your pool, with 180-degree sea views and an alfresco bar area where you can mix up cocktails at your leisure. This three-storey villa with six en-suite bedrooms and indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces, can be booked in its entirety, or with the use of three bedrooms only at a reduced rate. Gardens planted with olive trees and oleanders surround its perimeter. Just a four-minute walk to the quiet beach, Azalea provides guests with kayaks and SUPs to explore the coastline and a private gazebo on the sands. And it’s a short stroll to restaurants, shops and bars, so you needn’t turn a wheel.
Bay Villa
Follow the secluded path down to Ligares Beach by day and take the two-minute walk to the local taverna by night, at Bay Villa. The four-bedroom seaside property caters for up to eight guests and is set in an olive grove within a protected nature reserve. Its L-shaped infinity pool looks out to the ocean. Beside this is a chill-out zone and a versatile terrace for dining, BBQing and lounging. The decor throughout is sleek, bright, minimal and modern. A private chef, babysitter and yoga teacher can be arranged, as can exclusive tours of Skiathos.
