Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews

Calilo is a coastal retreat in Manganari defined by its intricate stonework and deep integration with the Cycladic landscape. The resort functions as a self-contained sanctuary, making it well-suited for travelers who prioritize privacy and immediate beach access over proximity to urban centers.
  • The resort occupies a prime position on Manganari beach, providing guests with private shore access. This ensures a quiet environment for swimming and sunbathing away from the more crowded public stretches of the island.
  • Constructed with locally sourced stone, the hotel's design follows the natural contours of the landscape. This architectural approach creates a visual harmony with the surroundings while offering a distinct, non-traditional aesthetic for guests.

OMG what an incredible stay! If I could give this resort 100 stars - I would. We loved everything about it. Our suite, the incredible view, the amenities, the hotel’s facilities, the spa - they just thought of everything. Also - the food, the drinks - fantastic. We’re both vegans and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and accommodate our every request (even off menu requests). The vegan burger was an absolute delight. They also made us pasta with coconut cream per our request, and surprised us with a delicious spinach pie to take with us for the ride home. Vegans - you would love it here! The service is just top notch! Everyone at the Calilo is so nice and accommodating. A big shout out to Joana, Maro, Stephan and Yanis - who made our stay so extra special. This was a dream come true! Thank you so much for everything!

Da, pentru Google Reviews sau Tripadvisor este cam prea lung. O recenzie mai eficientă este de 100–200 de cuvinte. Poți folosi ceva de genul: ★★★★★ Exceptional in Every Way Calilo is, without question, one of the most extraordinary hotels I have ever experienced. The property is absolutely stunning, combining breathtaking architecture, world-class design, and the natural beauty of Ios in a way that feels truly unique. The service was flawless from start to finish. Every member of the staff was professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our suite was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered spectacular views, while the private beach felt like a hidden paradise with crystal-clear waters and complete tranquility. The food was outstanding throughout our stay, with excellent quality, presentation, and authentic flavors. Every detail at Calilo reflects a commitment to excellence, from the landscaping and art installations to the overall guest experience. This is far more than a luxury hotel—it is a destination in itself. A truly unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations. We cannot wait to return. Highly recommended. 5 stars are simply not enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

For our honeymoon, we chose to stay at Calilo as part of a tour of Greek islands including Ios, Santorini, and Crete. We should have just stayed the entire time at Calilo. First off, I'd just recommend having them pick you up from the port in one of their vehicles. Yes, unfortunately it costs around 80 euros, but you'll pay that for a taxi too. Once you arrive you'll see it's just on a gorgeous piece of property. It has its own private beach and you're guaranteed to have your own cabana, which is crucial in the intense heat. The beach is probably the best on Ios. The room we stayed in was one of the better ones, with a couple private pools. Many of the rooms do, so you don't have to stay in one of the super fancy ones if you don't want. Just be careful since some of the rooms butt up against the beach, so if you're in one of your private pools, other guests going back to their rooms may be able to see you. Breakfast is just such a good meal. They have a nice buffet but then they have a ton of a la carte items that you can order too... order the French Toast. It's unbelievable. It was so good I told the manager (who's always around and smiling by the way) that I would probably need 9 pieces the next morning. So when we went to breakfast that next day and ordered the French Toast, they brought out a huge pile since the manager remembered what I had said jokingly the day before. They were even fine not having us finish it there and they sent it back up to our room. So awesome. They take such good care of you here. There's really no reason to do anything else here besides go to the beach, enjoy breakfast, and use your private pools at night. You should know that it's a luxury resort, so be prepared to spend some money while you're there. But trust me, the prices are worth it. We're definitely going to go back for an anniversary of some kind because it was the nicest place we've ever stayed.

The most insane room and hotel. So beautiful and fantastic service. We took a transfer from the port to the hotel, it was a 40 minute ride on a twisty road. When we arrived we found out there were helicopter charters available for a reasonable price so we opted for this not only to skip the windy road but to enjoy a once in a lifetime view. Laura and Sandy were fantastic, gym is beautiful. Upon our arrival-We were pleasantly surprised to get upgraded to a 3 bedroom suite for our honeymoon. One thing to note is that the pools are sea fed and temperatures aren't regulated by anything but the sun or lack there of, this didn't bother us but wanted to mention. We took a boat ride for a few hours right from the Calilo Beach. Will definitely be back.

This is much more than just a picture-perfect "Insta-hotel"—it is unique in every sense. Its architecture and artwork are embedded in the surrounding nature, and the staff doesn't just serve you—they make you feel part of the community. The entire property is filled with hidden gems and clever "easter eggs" waiting to be discovered. Don't ecpect the sterile vibe of traditional five-star resorts detached from the real world. This is a multidimensional five-star experience combining nature, art, mind, people and, last but not least, luxury.
