Eliamos Villas Hotel & Spa on Kefalonia Island opened its doors in May, and it almost sold out all the accommodations for most dates in the high tourist season. It will be challenging to book one of its 12 villas and maisonettes in July and August if you plan to stay more than one night and your travel dates are not flexible.
With prices per night starting in the +850s and up, the brand-new luxury boutique hotel promises to pamper you from arrival until your last day with zen-like interiors, premium furnishings, luxe amenities, carefully curated dining, holistic spa and wellness experiences, plus a wealth of activities that will make your Kefalonia holiday remarkable and memorable.
Eliamos is a complex of twelve villas and maisonettes designed by high-end interior architect Maike Korsanos. You can expect breathtaking decor that combines contemporary convenience with minimalistic design and elements inspired by Kefalonian nature and architecture. All villas have private saltwater pools, terraces, and ample interiors bathed in natural light.
Inside the rooms, the color scheme is earthy: colored grays dominate all the spaces creating a soothing atmosphere that inspires comfort. The same palette extends to the complex’s public areas, including the spa, which boasts two treatment rooms where you can enjoy signature massages and facial treatments.
You’ll also appreciate the wooden deck where you can attend yoga and pilates classes and the wooden gym for training on Nohrd bikes and rowers.
For active travelers and all guests who want to experience Kefalonia’s incredible nature splendors, Eliamos Villas Hotel & Spa organizes private boat cruises, winetasting tours, and trips to local attractions, including beaches like Myrtos, Antisamos, and Skala, and caves like Melissani and Drogarati. Hiking and cycling tours to the summit of Mount Ainos or the ancient ruins of the Castle of Saint George are also available. If you want to explore Kefalonia on your own, the hotel has a fleet of Nilox X7 Plus e-bikes available at no cost to guests.

Attractions Near Eliamos Villas Hotel & Spa
Castle of Saint George in Peratata: A Venetian fortress used as the capital of Kefalonia until 1757. It’s a ruined landmark today, towering over the villages of Peratata and Travliata from a 320m peak offering breathtaking views over the two and the island. The fortress occupies an area of 16,000 square meters to explore at your own pace. Wear appropriate apparel and hiking shoes. You’ll also need sunscreen protection and plenty of water when you visit this historical landmark. The entrance is free. Take this opportunity to visit the ruins of Evangelistria Church. You will find excellent dining opportunities in Peratata, for example, at Olive Lounge Restaurant and Bar or Kastro Cafe.
