Best Beach Hotels in Kefalonia (2025)

Kefalonia greets you with clear blue waters, quiet coves, and long stretches of sand backed by green hills. From the lively bays around Lassi to the quieter stretches near Skala, each spot has its own feel but the same easy island pace. Its beach stays keep things just as appealing, whether you’re after the island’s best beach resorts, simple budget-friendly hotels, or low-key adults-only hideaways. Families, couples, and laid-back travellers all find something here, from practical kitchenette suites to full-service resorts right on the sand.

For adults-only

• Petani Bay Hotel is an all-suite hideaway delivering uninterrupted Ionian Sea views from private balconies and stone-toned interiors with kitchenettes. Its infinity pool appears to drop into the bay, while the open-air restaurant and bar create a coastal-luxury atmosphere, perfect for adults seeking quiet beachside downtime. Not strictly on the beach, but a short amble down the road to one of the island's hidden gems!

For pure luxury

• Emelisse Nature Resort delivers chic timber-and-stone interiors, four-poster beds, and terraces that flow into private pools. Families can settle into spacious two-bedroom apartments, while an open-air cinema, serene spa, standout dining, and boat charters make this the perfect retreat for beach-focused luxury.
