Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
We look for a proven five-star pedigree and guest review scores averaging around 9.0 or above. Membership of established collections – such as Leading Hotels of the World, Small Luxury Hotels or Design Hotels – carries real weight when backed by consistently high ratings from guests.
Distinguishing features
We give credit for private pools in rooms or villas, exclusive beach or jetty access, award-winning dining, full-service signature spas, and butler or in-villa dining arrangements. The ability to arrange bespoke experiences – from private boat charters to helicopter transfers – is a clear mark of quality.
Location and surroundings
We look for settings that balance seclusion with ease of access: a seafront feel that remains genuinely private, views over the Ionian Sea, and reasonable proximity to hubs such as Tsilivi and Zakynthos Town. Smooth transfers from ZTH, a private jetty or helipad, and easy reach of the island's most iconic natural landmarks are all welcome bonuses.
