Zakynthos Villas Surrounded by

Turquoise Bays and Dramatic Clifftops

If you are looking for the perfect travel spot that immediately captures your attention, Zakynthos holiday villas are it. It’s the colour of the water, which is bright and almost unreal, and the way the cliffs drop straight into it that makes the island feel much more striking than you might expect. Staying in Zakynthos villas gives you a front-row seat to all of it, whether you’re perched above a bay or are just a short walk from the sea.

But trust us when we tell you that there’s a lot more to the island than just its famous viewpoints. If you stay in villas in Zakynthos, you’ll have access to quaint villages, long sandy beaches on the south coast, and a lively atmosphere around Zakynthos Town when you're craving something with a bit more energy. The villas with sea view Zakynthos are set up to make the most of those sweeping water views, and having your own space (especially Zakynthos villas with pools) means that you can enjoy it all without any interruptions. It’s a great spot to rent family villas Zakynthos for a family holiday, a trip with a large group, or a more relaxed stay for couples, and if you’re looking for a more upscale beach villa with a touch of luxury, we have plenty of luxury Zakynthos villas available too!

Once you’ve had a look around, the next step is choosing where you want to stay. Whether you prefer beachfront villas Zakynthos where it’s a bit more laid back, or if you want to be closer to the livelier parts of the island, there’s a ton of great Zakynthos villa options to choose from.

Zakynthos also sits right alongside some of the Ionian’s best-known islands. Corfu, Lefkada and Kefalonia are all within reach by ferry or a short journey, and each one offers something slightly different, from lush green coastlines to wide sandy bays and some of the most sought-after stays in Greece.

Our Top Must-Stay Spots for Zakynthos Villas


  • Many of our villas in Zakynthos give you easy access to visit Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach), one of the most photographed places in Greece. It’s best seen from above before heading down by boat.
  • Take a boat tour to the Blue Caves, where the water reflects light in a way that gives it that signature electric-blue colour.
  • Some of the best villas Zakynthos has to offer allow you to spend a great deal of time in Zakynthos Town, where you’ll find a mix of historic buildings, waterfront cafés and a more lively evening scene.
  • Head to Laganas Bay to spot loggerhead sea turtles, one of the island’s most unique natural highlights. It’s the perfect spot for nature lovers!
  • You can also take some time to explore the island’s western cliffs in villas with sea views Zakynthos, for quieter viewpoints and hidden coves that are tucked away from the main crowds.

What to Eat & Drink While You’re in Zakynthos

Food in Zakynthos is known for being simple, but also full of flavour. You’ll come across dishes like stifado (slow-cooked meat with onions and spices), fresh seafood, and grilled vegetables that have been finished with a drizzle of olive oil.

The island also has its own cheeses and wines that are worth trying, and are often served in small, family-run tavernas. Along the coast, you’ll find plenty of relaxed spots for lunch, while Zakynthos Town will give you a more upbeat and exciting dining scene, especially in the evenings.

Zakynthos Transportation

3.5 hours

Direct flights

There are direct flights to Zakynthos from several UK airports, with airlines like Jet2, TUI, easyJet and British Airways offering regular routes. Flight time is around three and a half hours.

1–1.5 hours

Via Athens

You can also travel via Athens, either by a short domestic flight or by ferry. Ferries run from the mainland (such as Kyllini) and take around 1–1.5 hours, with connections between Zakynthos and nearby Ionian islands.

Hiring a car

Once you’re on the island, hiring a car is definitely the easiest way to explore. It allows you to reach some of the quieter beaches and viewpoints that are harder to access otherwise. Buses run between the main towns, though services are more limited in quieter areas.

Insider’s Tip

If you want to see a different side of the island, head to a beach club like Infinity Beach Club in Tsilivi. Go in the late afternoon, settle in with a cool drink, and stay through sunset as the atmosphere shifts into a more upbeat evening vibe, but without ever feeling over the top.
