A destination designed to reconnect you with yourself.
Sculpted into natural rock and embraced by 1,000 acres of protected land, Calilo is a luxury hotel on Ios, stretching along six miles of golden sand. It sits beside turquoise waters that form one of the most pristine landscapes in the Cyclades.
At the heart of Calilo's philosophy lies a simple yet essential idea: architecture and art can elevate every person's experience of life. Every space has been created to inspire, to soothe, and to offer an environment where you can relax, leave the pressures of daily life behind, think less, and feel more.
Calilo feels as if it belongs to an entirely different world. With 36 luxurious suites, it offers guests a sanctuary of serenity, with pioneering architecture that blends contemporary aesthetics with tradition and striking works of art that highlight the beauty of the natural landscape.
At Calilo, luxury is expressed through nature's simplicity and serenity. It's in the sound of the sea and in walking on soft sand, with the sun warming your body and salt on your skin.
More than a hotel, Calilo is a visionary project in the conservation and protection of the natural environment. It's the result of the Michalopoulos Family's vision, which dedicated its creativity and love to safeguarding this unique place. The Calilo Group they created is a Greek family-owned sustainable development group in hospitality and dining, operating on the island of Ios since 2012.
The commitment to the vision of sustainable development is reflected in the personal decision of the Calilo Group and the Michalopoulos Family to limit their investment activity, pledging not to build on more than 1% of their privately owned land, thus ensuring the protection of the natural landscape.
Calilo's architecture, interior design, and art installations bear their own personal stamp and express its people's desire to share the magic of Ios with visitors from around the world. At the same time, they help change perceptions of Ios, transforming it from a destination with the reputation of the "party island" into a place of authentic, sustainable hospitality.
Calilo's guests have the opportunity to savor exceptional flavors at the Group's bar- restaurants, which are distinguished for the fine dining experience they offer, following a "field to fork" philosophy with an emphasis on local products.
Calilo promises a culinary experience of distinction through the multi-award-winning restaurant CHES. The restaurant's menu is curated by Executive Chef Alexandros Tsiotinis, who has created dishes with Aegean flavors, using ingredients and inspiration from the Cycladic islands.
The menus of the bar-restaurants, following the Group's and the Michalopoulos Family's philosophy of respecting and preserving the Cyclades' uniqueness, are inspired by the Cycladic islands and their produce.
Guests also have the chance to enjoy distinctive wellness experiences at Calilo's Spa, designed for physical and mental relaxation, offering an unparalleled holistic experience that includes: Yoga sessions, Reiki sessions, boat excursions, wine tastings, cooking classes, a state-of-the-art gym, and a surrounding area that's ideal for hiking and exploration.
