Location
The village of Tsilivi, which is also known as Planos, is situated on the northeastern coast of the Greek island of Zakynthos and is surrounded by an abundance of opportunities for exploration and indulgence, such as nearby caves, monasteries, and churches, as well as plenty of fishing and diving spots. Tsilivi beach lies to the north, and the island’s main town—known simply as Zakynthos or Zaente—is just 12 kilometers south of Tsilivi. The dedicated concierge team also organizes wine tasting sessions, lessons in Greek cooking, intimate candlelight dinners, sunset boat trips, sailing, horse-riding, fishing excursions, and more.

Architecture Block722architects+
Guided by the island’s landscape and the calming effect of water, Block722architects+ created a sprawling property revolving around a 4,000-square-meter pool that resembles a lake. Water is ubiquitous at Olea, with streams and pools meandering between island-like clusters of tropical-modernist cube structures, communal areas under skylights, hidden gardens, and age-old olive trees.
Interior design Block722+
Throughout the suites and communal areas, earth-tone colors abound while an ambient lighting concept encourages relaxation. On the terraces and outdoor spaces, statement pieces of lounge furniture overlook the resort’s waterways and the sea, inviting guests to take in the island from a unique perspective.
