Luxury villas in Paxos with private pools

Paxos is small (Lakka in the north to Gaios in the south is about a 20-minute drive), so choosing a villa is less about distance and more about the kind of days you want. Every villa on this page is a standalone home, privately managed by our team on the island and inspected before it is listed. Most have a private pool, and all are a short drive from a harbour, a beach and a good taverna.

Our villas range from two-bedroom hideaways for couples to four-bedroom homes sleeping up to eight. For larger parties, several of our villas stand side by side, so ask our team about booking neighbouring villas together.

The Paxos season runs from late spring to October. July and August are the liveliest months, when the harbours are busiest and villas book furthest ahead. June and September bring warm sea, quieter beaches and easier restaurant tables.

Paxos has no airport. Most guests fly into Corfu (CFU), take a 15-minute taxi to the port, then the Flying Dolphin or ferry to Gaios: around an hour by fast boat. Travelling overland? The car ferry from Igoumenitsa reaches Gaios in about 1 hour 45 minutes. Our concierge can arrange transfers and private sea taxis.

• Getting here: fly to Corfu (about three hours from London), then take the hydrofoil (Flying Dolphin) to Gaios, about an hour.
• Getting around: Lakka to Gaios is about 20 minutes by car. For villas in the hills, we recommend a car.
• When to come: June and September for warm sea and quieter beaches; July and August for the liveliest harbours.

Spend the morning by the water: Harami, Kanoni and Orkos near Lakka, Levrechio and Kipiadi near Loggos, or Kaki Lagada from Gaios. Hire a boat for the day and cross to Antipaxos, or explore coves you can only reach from the sea. In the late afternoon, drive to the Erimitis cliffs on the west coast for the sunset, then head down to a harbour for dinner. Our restaurant guide shows where to book.

• “Ask us to stock the fridge before you arrive, so your first evening is spent on the terrace, not at the supermarket.”
• “Restaurants fill up in July and August. Tell us your dates and we'll book your tables.”

Every booking comes with our local team on the island. Before you arrive, we can stock the kitchen, arrange a private chef, book a boat to explore the Blue Caves and Antipaxos, reserve tables at the island's best restaurants, or arrange wellness treatments at the villa.
