Indescribably beautiful experience.

The villa was traditional and ticked all the boxes. The location and setting is unique. The clarity of the water was outstanding. Many thanks indeed for a world class and extraordinary holiday.

Treasure Island is not just a villa. It is a fully private Greek island estate, offering total seclusion, dramatic natural beauty, and an experience that simply does not exist on the mainland.

Located off the coast of Attica and reached by boat from Athens, this exclusive island retreat is reserved for guests seeking absolute privacy, space, and a sense of occasion. Once you arrive, the outside world disappears. There are no neighbours, no public access, and no interruptions — just pristine beaches, historic stone buildings, and the freedom to live entirely on your own terms.

Step into a world where history, myth, and luxury intertwine at Treasure Island, a private sanctuary in the Petalioi Islands, just an hour by boat from Athens. Once part of a Russian princess’s dowry when she married the King of Greece, and later a retreat for icons such as Jacqueline Onassis, Rudolf Nureyev, Greta Garbo, and Gene Kelly, this island’s past is as glamorous as its present. Rumour even has it that Aristotle Onassis once tried to buy it before turning to Skorpios. Enveloped by 900 acres of untouched Mediterranean landscape and shimmering turquoise waters, this secluded island invites you to experience Greece at its most authentic and romantic.

At the heart of Treasure Island lies a neoclassical beachfront villa, lovingly built by the current owner’s family over 100 years ago. The main house sleeps 8–9 guests, with additional bedrooms and a charming cottage for larger groups. Spacious whitewashed interiors, antique French windows, and marble en-suite bathrooms balance comfort with timeless elegance, while terraces frame sweeping views of uninhabited islets and distant mountains. Outdoors, gather around a vast wooden table for alfresco feasts, wander to the island’s chapel, or set out to explore by foot, bike, or boat. Whether you’re diving into crystal-clear waters or simply sinking into the sand with the sea as your soundtrack, Treasure Island offers not just a stay—but a story steeped in history and serenity.

Note: The island shown in aerial shot is one of the group of islands in the estate but not where the main accommodation is, for privacy reasons. Guests are able to visit this island during their stay.

What Oliver loves...

  • Complete privacy. The island spans an area of 900 acres, the villa is surrounded by trees and well camouflaged giving guests privacy
  • Although the island is secluded, getting around couldn’t be easier. There’s a ferry from Athens that takes one hour and once you’re on the island. Depending on arrival times and conditions it may be possible to use the speedboat for this journey, please ask at time of booking.
  • The villa’s owner grows organic produce on the island, which means you can expect fresh vegetables and fruits. You can cook for yourselves or the available chef can prepare your meals for an even more relaxed stay
  • A charming chapel on the island makes it a perfect destination for couples wishing to tie the knot in an unforgettable setting. Please note that additional costs may apply for wedding arrangements.
  • Your stay includes chef service, a personal butler, and access to a 12-metre speedboat. Please note that fuel, food, and beverages are charged separately.

What you should know

  • While there is no swimming pool on the property, the expansive private beachfront more than makes up for it, offering a truly unique and refreshing seaside experience.
  • Guests will enjoy exclusive use of the villa and complete privacy throughout their stay. Please note, however, that the property owners reside in a separate building approximately 200 meters away, facing northeast and away from the villa. You’ll also have full access to explore the island at your leisure.
  • As is common across much of the Mediterranean, you may encounter cats and dogs roaming freely on the island.
  • A €1000 advance payment is required upon arrival to cover any shopping expenses. Receipts will be provided for transparency. Please note that this amount may vary for larger groups.
