History
Eliamos Villas Hotel & Spa opened in the summer of 2023 on the secluded south-western coast of Kefalonia, above a hidden cove near Spartia. Built around an existing olive grove, its low-lying, terracotta-roofed buildings were designed by co-owner Maike Gruna, who created the property with her husband Spyro Korsianos, whose family originates from the island.
The retreat comprises twelve one-, two- and three-bedroom villas, each with a private saltwater pool or hot tub, and holds the distinction of being the only Relais & Châteaux property in the Ionian Islands.
