Impressions
Cuisine
At the heart of Eliamos is Olais, an award-winning restaurant celebrating seasonal Greek dining, Ionian flavours and mindful wellbeing. Inspired by the Hippolais birds that gather among the olive trees surrounding the terrace, Olais offers refined breakfast, lunch and dinner experiences rooted in fresh local ingredients, simplicity and authenticity. With panoramic sea views and a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere, dining here invites guests to savour the essence of Kefalonia from morning through evening.
Culinary highlights such as the weekly "Kefalonian Celebration Table" open-air barbecue beneath the Ionian sky, tastings of the local Robola varietal, and private in-villa dining beside your own pool turn every meal into a memorable moment – unhurried, intimate and shaped entirely around the guest.
Wellness
Housed within an intimate two-room sanctuary, Eliamos Spa offers a curated selection of healing treatments and bespoke massages delivered by a dedicated full-time spa therapist. From deeply relaxing full-body rituals to energy-boosting Thai oil massages and nutrition-based treatments, each experience is tailored to individual needs.
In the open-air wooden gym overlooking the Ionian Sea, daily movement programmes, yoga and reformer Pilates sessions set within the resort's lush gardens create balance between activity and rest, complemented by complimentary al fresco fitness classes and guided recovery practices.
Amenities
Kefalonia reveals itself through moments both active and unhurried – shaped by sea, landscape and local life. Private sailing journeys, luxury RIB excursions and bespoke coastal adventures lead to hidden coves, secluded beaches and the neighbouring islands of Ithaca and Zakynthos. The "Epic Eliamos" signature experience combines a private sailing voyage to Ithaca, a six-course Odyssey-inspired dining experience and a signature spa ritual into an eight-hour luxury escape.
On land, guided hikes through Mount Ainos National Park, vineyard visits in the Omala Valley, and complimentary electric bike tours along sun-drenched coastal paths invite deeper exploration of the island. Curated family programmes with arts, imaginative play and gentle wellness moments are available for younger guests.
