Overlooking the crystal-clear Ionian Sea, the exquisite Eliamos Villas Hotel & Spa is perched on a hill covered with lush olive groves and pine forests, inviting you to dream. Only twelve Mediterranean-style villas in boho style present themselves as wonderful refuges with sparkling saltwater pools and sun-kissed terraces. Both the hotel's spa and its first-class restaurant are enriched by local ingredients from the island. With freshly caught seafood, cocktails at sunset, morning yoga and Pilates classes, picturesque hikes and walks to dreamy bays, the island paradise of Kefalonia quickly captivates travelers seeking relaxation.
Nestled in lush greenery are twelve light-filled villas with a modern design. Terracotta-style tiles, neutral earth tones, and chic wood and rattan furniture convey an airy boho chic that gives each retreat a touch of island spirit. Each accommodation has a gorgeous sand-colored terrace with its own saltwater pool or whirlpool, which sparkle like emerald green lagoons. The spectacular three-bedroom Eliamos Villa can accommodate up to seven guests and also spoils them with a spacious living area, a kitchen, an outdoor dining area, garden access, and a paradisiacal view of the Ionian Sea.
With a healthy menu full of fresh seafood and creative salads, the in-house restaurant offers a sensational contrast to the usually rather heavy Greek cuisine. Mediterranean dishes with a modern twist are served for lunch and dinner, with ingredients sourced from local farmers. Enjoy delicious regional dishes with vegetables from the island, fish from the Ionian Sea, and herbs picked from the hotel's own garden. The chic pool bar is the ideal place for a pre-dinner cocktail as the sun sinks dramatically into the sea.
Daily yoga and Pilates classes entice fitness enthusiasts to a morning workout, as does the outdoor gym with sea views. Afterwards, treat yourself to a pampering massage or take a few laps in the large saltwater infinity pool under the Greek sun. Explore the picturesque hiking trails in and around Ainos National Park, take a walk to the pebble bay, or borrow free e-bikes to reach one of the small, nearby beaches. The reception desk will be happy to arrange boat trips for you, allowing you to enjoy the island idyll in complete privacy.
Deeply rooted in the magical Greek island idyll, the spectacular Eliamos Villas Hotel & Spa in the southern wilderness of Kefalonia focuses on the enchanting view of the aquamarine blue Ionian Sea. Surrounded by a wonderfully meditative soundscape consisting of the gentle lapping of water flowing over the huge saltwater infinity pool and the distant chirping of crickets, this unique property, which belongs to the Relais & Châteaux hotel group, invites you to relax and enjoy yourself. The carefully designed gardens with native flora such as fragrant lavender, towering cypress trees, and ancient olive trees feel like a natural extension of the picturesque mountain landscape. Featuring sand-colored terraces, private saltwater pools or hot tubs, and harmonious rattan furniture, the twelve beautifully designed villas with their airy, nature-inspired design blend seamlessly into their surroundings and reflect an unmistakably Hellenic sense of timelessness and natural beauty.
