Comprising 12 villas in a flourishing estate with a locally inspired restaurant, an intimate spa and an outdoor gym, Eliamos is perched above a secret cove and remote beach on the idyllic island of Kefalonia, the largest of the Ionian Islands.
Striking the perfect balance between seclusion and easy access to and from the island’s enchanting beaches, nature and towns, the new resort is just 20 minutes from the island’s capital Argostoli, home to authentic tavernas, boutiques, and a buzzing port and piazza.

With London-based designer Maike of Maike Gruna Interiors and her husband, a Kefalonia native, at the helm, Eliamos’ design aesthetic fuses luxury with an understated version of modernity that echoes Kefalonia’s unspoiled landscape. Award-winning Greek architect studio, Block722 has created a village-feel retreat, using local stone and wood, to harmoniously blend Eliamos with its natural surroundings.
Each of the twelve spacious villas connects with the island’s earthy character, with sweeping sea views, acting as a private sanctuary of calm to suit the needs of every guest. Each one boasts a private saltwater pool or Jacuzzi, kitchen, outdoor dining area, barbeque and garden, providing a true home-from-home experience.
