How we ranked
- #1–3 — THE ACE VIP.Eighteen seasons on island, direct-to-property-manager. We've walked the floor on every property. Helipad authenticity verified. Price bands operator-confirmed.
- #4–8 — Premium tier. Verified upper-luxury inventory. Direct-to-owner on most properties. Mid-luxury to upper-luxury sweet spot.
What "luxury" means in this list
Five non-negotiables. Every villa above passes all five:
- Architecture.Built or restored to a named architect's plan. No 1990s concrete shells with marble counters and a Cycladic-pastiche pergola.
- Pool.Minimum 12 m × 5 m, salt-or-chlorine, with heating capacity. Below that, it's a plunge pool, not a luxury pool.
- Staff. Daily housekeeping included; chef and driver layered on request; named manager on-site or 5-min drive.
- Privacy. Plot of 1,800 m² minimum (mid-luxury) or 4,000 m² minimum (ultra-luxury), gated, no shared pool or shared driveway.
- Operator depth. A real concierge with a registered Greek office, not a WhatsApp number.
