The flawless ultra-luxury resort One&Only Kéa Island debuted this summer as one of Greece's most exciting hotel arrivals. It has achieved perfection in terms of aesthetics, hospitality, and harmonious integration into the island ambience of Kea.
Kea is an easily accessible and experience-rich destination. Less than an hour from the port of Lavrio, the prestige and cosmopolitan air of One & Only meet the extraordinary Cycladic landscape of Vroskopos Bay a little north of the Pisses.
Overlooking the vast blue from the bare, rugged hill where it nestles, it emerges as a special reason to visit the beloved Kea.
Not only for the truly unique experience of staying in the top-quality independent villas that make up the spectacular resort but also for the high-level services and attention-to-detail experiences that invite even non-residents to get a taste and to enjoy the summer with unsurpassed style and the carefree mood of the Greek islands.
In this context, the Bond Beach Club, a heavenly, privileged location on the almost private bay, is a "boutique-style" beach club that can be enjoyed by not only guests of One&Only Kéa Island but also by outsider visitors.
The unique setting and philosophy of Bond Beach Club
The scenery will automatically help visitors clear their mind and calm the soul. The blue of the sky and the sea, together with an imposing landscape, define the natural setting, where a setting unfolds that integrates and emits the amazing energy of Kea's landscape.
On the one hand, one of the island's most picturesque hidden bays, with its wild beauty and clear blue waters, offers absolute tranquility and a sense of exclusivity.
On the other hand, the discreet and elegant space of Bond's restaurant, inspired by the nature that surrounds it, is the epitome of island al fresco dining which harmoniously combines local materials and elements of sophisticated design, rendering the ideal balance of cosmopolitanism and local traditions.
The balance between relaxation and fun makes Bond an ideal all-day summer destination where all the senses—especially the taste—are awakened, and unforgettable memories are created.
Relaxing in the sun on comfortable chaise lounges, refreshing swims in crystal clear waters, fresh snacks and well-crafted cocktails on the beach, special culinary creations and frequent musical surprises all combine to make every visit to Bond Beach Club into a celebration of unpretentious summer luxury.
The amazing culinary experience
Dining at Bond Beach Club is a special experience in itself. Executive chefs Dimitris Kotsalis and Lefteris Tsougas have curated the menu, drawing inspiration from the flavours of Kea and upgrading them with their unique perspectives.
At their side, head chefs Dimitris Noussis and Christos Litsis form the "dream team," offering guests a unique culinary journey that honours authenticity and locality.
The imaginative culinary approaches result in a menu that is a harmonious composition of Mediterranean and Asian flavours based on fresh, selected raw materials from the producers of Kea.
Each dish is carefully designed and masterfully executed, and guests can enjoy it either on the beach or in the Bond Beach Club dining area, under the shade of the tamarisk trees and with a view of the sea almost at their feet.
The fish of the day inspires the team of chefs, who use its freshness and quality to create unique dishes. Whether they serve it raw, highlighting its natural flavour, or roast it with impressive techniques, the result is always a taste surprise that delights guests.
Simple, authentic flavours such as paramo and eggplant salad accompanied by freshly sourdough bread highlight tradition and are transformed into dishes that impress with their deep deliciousness.
More creative dishes, such as tacos with tuna tartar, avocado, and aged soy, impress even the most demanding palates.
Of course, there are also suggestions for excellent cuts for meat lovers.
The wine selections include from Greek vineyards, labels from the main international wine-growing regions, and discreet service from the well-trained staff who don an effortless smile, which completes the enjoyable experience.
Fun and summer events
Bond's thrilling experiences follow one another as the sun sets and the high spirits continue unabated.
The themed evenings and culinary events, wine tastings, exclusive DJ sets and sunset parties promise unforgettable nights by the sea under the starry sky of the island of Kea. In August, bond guests will enjoy DJ sets in the most idyllic spot of One&Only Kéa Island.
On Sunday, August 25th, Constantin Nasiri and the Band will take to the decks of Bond and create the ultimate atmosphere to say goodbye to August in the best way possible.
Bond Beach Club proves to be more than just a destination: it is a kaleidoscope of a summer escape, culinary delight and understated luxury that, as its name suggests, creates an unforgettable bond between the visitor and the magnificent island of Kea.
