Argile Hotel & Spa is on the sunny south coast of the island. Xi Beach is around two minutes’ walk away, famous for its reddish sand and healing mud treatments. The cliffs are made of clay, so you can slather yourself in mud, let it dry in the sun, then wash it off in the sea.

“Perhaps the most enticing of all the Ionian islands, magical Kefalonia is a place where it’s easy to lose yourself, amid air thick with oleander and the sound of goat bells”, says Lonely Planet.

As one of the greenest and cleanest islands in Greece, Kefalonia is home to the only island national park, Mount Ainos, and is the lush backdrop to the hit novel-turned-movie “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin”.

All-inclusive board covers all meals at the buffet-style restaurant, plus drinks and snacks at the pool bar. Other facilities include a swimming pool with free sunbeds, a relaxing seaview terrace, a tennis court, a bowling green, and mountain bikes for hire.

This attractive hotel is located only a short walk from Xi beach and its red sand, which the island is famous for. It is about 6 km to the second largest town on the island, Lixoúri, which is home to countless shops, restaurants, bars and pubs.

The fully air-conditioned hotel offers a wealth of facilities to ensure a pleasant stay for all guests. Culinary specialities can be enjoyed at the bar or an elegant restaurant. A conference room with capacity of up to 400 persons may be used by business travellers for meetings and conventions.

Younger guests may let off steam in the playground.

The well-maintained outdoor complex offers a swimming pool, a poolside snack bar as well as a sun terrace with sun loungers. Guests can also enjoy a game of tennis, mountain biking, diving and a range of other water sports activities.
