With 6,000 pristine islands to explore, Greece , as we all know, really is the gods’ gift to holidays. And now we have another island to play on. Odera is the first major opening on Tinos (a brisk 25 minutes by boat from Mykonos) and it’s an Instagram-ready, luxury haven of which Plutus himself would approve.
Featuring understated, exquisite design in local materials, all 77 guest rooms and suites have magnificent views of the Aegean. The commitment to preserving the environment and supporting island craftmanship is reflected all over the hotel from the traditional Tinian stonework to homespun materials and marble furnishings not to mention the incredible menus that celebrate local suppliers made with the perfect ethos of “simple done well”. The main pool overlooking the ocean is an absolute showstopper, where if you squint you can blur the lines from sea, pool and sky, and a winding path leads down to a private sandy beach with its own bar and restaurant.
As you’d expect, the sea is the same aqua green pristine clear water with glittering jewel tones we’ve all come to love and pine for everywhere in Greece. Back at the ranch there’s a fully-equipped gym and spa replete with its own hammam, hydrotherapy circuit and endless treatments to pummel and soothe you into a state of utter bliss. Though you probably won’t want to leave the hotel, Tinos, while somewhat barren in terms of greenery to those of us from a more rain-lashed isle, is a delight to explore.
