An illustration of a guest book

Hibiscus was excellent - in an excellent location, beautifully presented and with lots of lovely outdoor space. We would return. I wasn't sure if using a company like The Thinking Traveller would be worth it, but it definitely was. The experience added so much to how well we enjoyed the holiday, both the quality of the villa and the excellent support from your representatives.

We had a great stay at Hibiscus. The setting was magnificent.

Ghada Razuki June 2024

Hibiscus is a lovely villa and ideal for a quiet and peaceful holiday. It has a great internal layout, amazing outdoor spaces, lovely pool area, lovely view. We had a relaxing holiday far from the madding crowd.

Verified guest, September 2024

The location of Hibiscus is unbeatable - near to the sea and tavernas and very private. It's traditionally Greek, which we like.

Verified guest, July 2025

It was our second time at Hibiscus and we will come again. We love the position and the island.

Verified guest, August 2025

Hibiscus is in a lovely position with the easiest of walks to a beach and the tavernas of Steni Vala. The truly beautiful, unspoilt bay offered gorgeous swimming. Nature and villa are harmonious, making for a deeply relaxing stay.

The Area

Hibiscus sits above a lovely sandy beach about half way up Alonissos's east coast. The seafront tavernas, amenities and harbour of Steni Vala are about 10 minutes' walk away, making it eminently possible to dine out without ever taking the car. The island's main port, Patitiri, and the historic capital, Alonissos Town, are just a 20-minute drive away.

Despite its diminutive size, 14km long and 4km wide, Alonissos has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to beaches. Arguably the best ones are to be found along the east coast and on the southern tip. One such, just a 10-minute drive north of Hibiscus, is Agios Dimitrios, whose splendid white sands and intense blue waters are irresistible. The north of the island also boasts some idyllic coves and beaches but most of these are only accessible by boat: an excellent reason to rent one for your stay.

Alonissos, its surrounding waters and minor islands, including Peristera, Kyra Panagia, Gioura, Psathoura, Piperi and Skantzoura, form the Alonissos Marine Park, the largest of its kind in Europe. Established in 1992, its 2,250km2 is home to a fascinating variety of flora, fauna, marine life (including Meditteranean monk seals) and unspoilt natural beauty.

Finally, just across the water, is Alonissos's sister Sporades Island, Skopelos, which is highly recommended and easy to get to.

For more information about hydrofoils and ferries to and between the Sporades Islands, please see our dedicated page.
