Joy to Sea

Joy to Sea: Ionian Islands

A haven of craggy coves, translucent waters and endless olive groves, Lefkada will welcome you with open arms. And by staying at this modern villa, you'll experience the best the island has to offer. Beyond the heavenly infinity pool, sweeping views and comfortable outdoor seating, the home's interiors are fresh, contemporary, and designed to put you at ease from the get-go.

After a morning of soaking up sun rays on the terrace, walk just fifteen minutes to Dessimi beach. This halcyon bay is a popular spot for snorkelling – see if you can spot a resident squid or octopus beneath the translucent waters. The island's waterfront capital, Lefkada, is a twenty-five-minute drive away. Here, you'll find a colourful assortment of traditional tavernas, unique shopping haunts and a stunning beach within easy reach.

Return home for an evening dip before preparing a Greek feast – or hiring a professional chef, with the help of your host – and dining al fresco as the sun sets over the inky ocean.
