Where Nature Nurtures

Eliamos is a place where life slows to the rhythm of the sea. Each villa feels like its own private cocoon, seamlessly blending into the hillside and opening onto views of endless blue. Mornings begin with movement in the outdoor pavilion, followed by fresh, nourishing meals and afternoons of stillness by your own saltwater pool. The design, the pace, the air itself — everything here invites you to soften, to ground and to breathe more deeply.

Wellness, Island-Style

At the heart of Eliamos is a gentle, holistic approach to wellbeing. The spa draws on ancient Mediterranean remedies, using locally grown herbs and oils to restore balance and vitality. Daily yoga and Pilates sessions support both body and mind, while personalised treatments and consultations ensure each guest’s journey is deeply individual.

A retreat not just by the sea, but in rhythm with it — where nature is the guide and calm is the true luxury.

Why I chose Eliamos Villas Hotel and Spa

There’s something quietly powerful about arriving at Eliamos — no grand entrances or flashy signs, just olive trees, sea air and the soft scent of thyme on the breeze. As you wind down the lane and catch your first glimpse of the Ionian Sea, a stillness settles in, the kind that tells you you’ve arrived somewhere special.

What drew me in was the sense of calm simplicity. Each villa is its own private retreat, thoughtfully designed to sit gently within the landscape — stone, wood, water and sky all in quiet harmony. There’s ‘luxury’ here, yes, but it’s the unspoken kind: a plunge pool glinting in the sun, birdsong drifting through your open doors and space — real space — to just be.

Wellness at Eliamos feels effortless. You move because it feels good, eat because it nourishes, rest because your body asks. It’s a place that doesn’t try too hard — and that’s exactly why it works.

Treading Lightly

🌿 Eliamos is built with natural, locally sourced materials and designed to harmonise with the landscape. The retreat runs on renewable energy, uses eco-friendly water systems and champions seasonal, organic produce from local farms and its own gardens — a gentle footprint with a deep respect for Kefalonia’s natural beauty. 🌿
