While August brings the heat and the crowds, September brings something far more exclusive: The Velvet Season.

For luxury travelers and those in the know, this is arguably the best time to experience the true magic of Zante. The island takes a deep breath, the rhythm slows down, and the experience shifts from "touristic" to "authentic."

Here is why staying at The Luminous Villa Zakynthos in September is the sophisticated choice.


The "Golden Hour" Light


hotographers and nature lovers call it the "Golden Month." The sun sits lower in the sky, bathing the limestone cliffs of the Blue Caves (just minutes from your villa) in a softer, more magical light. The sunsets from your private terrace are simply spectacular.

Privacy Reimagined


For our guests who value privacy above all, whether high-profile individuals or families seeking reconnection, September offers a sanctuary. The roads are quiet, the sea is yours, and the estate feels more secluded than ever.

VIP Access to the Island

In July, you queue. In September, you glide.

Navagio Beach: The crowds vanish, making it the perfect time to charter a boat and experience Shipwreck Beach in peace.

Dining: The best tables at the island's top restaurants (like Nobelos, Flore and Nobile) are finally available without needing weeks of notice. You can enjoy spontaneous, relaxed fine dining without the rush.

The Perfect Climate & The Heated Pool Advantage


September days are warm and sunny (avg. 28°C), but unlike August, the evenings bring a refreshing breeze.

The Luminous Advantage: While unheated pools quickly turn chilly overnight this time of year, our heated infinity pool stays at a perfect temperature 24/7. Whether for an energizing morning lap or a relaxing midnight swim under the stars, you are guaranteed absolute comfort—a luxury that nature (and most other villas) can't promise in late summer.




The Verdict September isn't just the end of summer; it's the beginning of the most exclusive season on the island. Experience Zakynthos at its most elegant.
