Emelisse Nature Resort  

Perched above Emblisi Bay in Fiskardo, Kefalonia, this seaside resort hides among cedars and cypress with sweeping Ionian views. It’s about 1 km from Fiskardo town center and a roughly 15-minute walk to Fiskardo Port and Emblisi Beach. Expect a beach-hotel vibe and family-friendly facilities, with the airport roughly 1h 15m away.

Two outdoor pools plus an indoor pool, poolside bars and sun beds set the tone for laid-back days. The Elemis spa offers massages and body treatments alongside sauna and steam facilities. Active guests get a fitness room, outdoor tennis court, scuba diving club and boat trips (including a speedboat). Kids have a children’s pool, playground and playrooms; there’s babysitting on request.
