Holiday Villas in Paxos

Find a perfect sunshine villa break in Paxos

The smallest of the Ionian Islands, Paxos is a tranquil haven where vast olive groves (where some of the world’s best olive oil is made) and white pebbly beaches fringe the blue waters of the Ionian Sea. Charming villages are dotted between the lush and peaceful countryside, with plenty of historical sites to uncover too. This mostly off-the-radar Greek island is only seven miles long, so it’s perfect for exploring all there is to see on foot. It might be just a short boat journey off the coast of Greece, but a Paxos holiday is a million miles away from the bustle of the modern world.

Choose one of our holiday villas in Paxos and enjoy a truly relaxing escape. Maybe you’re seeking a property tucked away on the hilltops of Cypress trees or one with stunning sea views over the West Coast? Make your stay extra special and book a villa holiday with a private pool, rooftop terrace or even an on-site spa for some well-deserved pampering. Book with us for our best price guarantee, and reach out to our friendly customer service team if you need a helping hand with your booking.

When you can finally tear yourself away from your luxury villa in Paxos, this little island has plenty to explore, and it’s not all about the sandy beaches and olive trees. Wander the narrow streets and soak up the town’s atmosphere, hire a boat and make the trip to the charming fishing village of Loggos (a day trip to Anti Paxos is equally as gorgeous), or sample some of the local delicacies at the many restaurants that fringe the water’s edge.
