Celestial All Suites Kefalonia

Style

Starry starry nights

Setting

Trot from Trapezaki Beach

We’ve read in the stars that a unique offering will come to the south coast of Kefalonia – a hotel where each suite has its own pool, the beach is a mere stumble away and the views rapturously twin forest and sea. In Celestial Hotel Kefalonia, the prophecy is coming true (this April, when it opens). There’s nothing quite like this stay along this stretch of shoreline, still wild enough for there to be untouched forest all around, and you can glimpse Mount Ainos from its tiers that cascade down a hillside. Only over-15s can stay, so serenity and romance is assured, and of course, you’re all set for a spot of stargazing.

Our Favourite Rooms

Suites all bear a cool, collected mod-Grecian look, with white walls and polished woods, dabbling in different textiles and gentle colour pops. But, it’s what’s outside that counts – namely, a private terrace with a pair of sunloungers and your own plunge pool. All you need to do is decide if you want to look at the forest sea, or both, and then wallow away.

Poolside

Each suite here has its own little pool to play in, but – what’s that? – you want more pool? Well, Celestial All Suites Kefalonia will give it to you. The centrepiece of a communal pool (open 10am to 7pm) is a catwalk of blue with veiled four-poster day-beds and covered loungers dunning along the sides. And, if you want a nighttime show during the day, where a section of green roof stretches out over it, constellations of lights dot the ceiling – magic. Bar service is available and towels are provided.

Spa

The spa’s shaping up to be in good health with treatments that will be inspired by nature and the sea; two treatment rooms, each with their own shower and changing room (big enough for couples, too); and a sauna. Yoga lessons will be held alfresco on the manicured lawn and movers and shapers will have a luxurious gym to work out in too, with refreshments provided.

Packing Tips

Swimming gear is a no-brainer – while there’s a barrier between each terrace, your pool isn’t quite private enough for skinny-dipping we’re afraid.

儿童

Couples, thank your lucky stars – this spot is for over-15s only.

Food & Drink

Top Table

Sit at the alfresco tables by the pool and you’re more likely to see the island’s celestial show. We also like the row of bar stools lined up by the pool, which puts an aquatic slant on people-watching.

着装要求

Arva requires a little more glam than Viola.

Hotel Restaurant

There are two poolside picks: Viola is the more casual of the duo, serving a laidback selection of light bites throughout the day. And for dinner, Arva dishes an à la carte menu of fresh, flavour-packed Mediterranean classics, cooked up with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.

Hotel Bar

Arva and Viola will both serve drinks, but you can also enjoy cocktails, wines and beers while sunning yourself in a veiled day-bed – just order from the Pool Bar.

Last Orders

Dinner at Arva is 7pm to 10.30pm. Drinks at the Pool Bar run till midnight.

Room Service

Dine in-room from midday to midnight.

Planes

Kefalonia’s Anna Pollatou International Airport is just a 20-minute drive from the hotel. Transfers can be arranged on request from €45 one-way.

Automobiles

While we can see honeymooners wanting to hole up in their rooms here, and the beach is within walking distance, having a car will really open up the island for you (just take care on the twisty-turny roads). You can acquire a set of wheels at the airport and the hotel’s free-to-use parking lot is close by. The hotel also has an electric charging station for €0.40 per kilowatt hour.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

If you’re the star of the show at Celestial All Suites then you have a truly spectacular set for the story of your stay to play out on. Forested hills rise and fall all around and leafy golden rock formations swoop down into the sea, which is indeed that promising shade of holiday blue. Suites at the hotel have a view of forest, sea or both, so your private pool is guaranteed to have an applaudable view. You could stay in it until your fingers go pruney, or you could trot down to parasol-dotted Trapezaki Beach, less than a 10-minute walk away. And you can hop along the shore east to Kanali Beach or west to Agios Thomas Beach (and so on…) – they’re all lovely in their own way but we do like the latter for its dramatic cliffs. It’s possible to rent out boats, or head to the west coast where there are more watersports opportunities. Alternatively, go inland for hikes to historic villages like Mousata (about a 30-minute walk away), the ruins at Old Valsamata, or the Sacred Monastery of Agios Gerasimos of Kefalonia (both about a two-hour walk); those with plenty of puff can tackle climbing Mount Ainos. And, drive into Argostoli to wander its harbour and visit its lighthouse and turquoise sinkholes. But really, no song and dance is needed here, just a swimming costume.
