“Perfect week in the mountains with BB and Alpine Club. Stunning chalet, great food, hot tub ! and nice garden. Sooooo many activities to do it's endless. Brilliant family holiday rather than going to the beach. Yoga was fab too.”

“Had the most amazing trip to the Alps with Beyond Beach. It was a lovely Chalet with breathtaking views of mountain peaks and waterfalls. Lots of biking and walking and cooling off in mountain streams. The yoga was blissfull and excellently taught by Jemima. James and Suzi couldn't do enough to help us arrange activities. We are definitely going again!!!”

“We renamed this company to “Above & Beyond Beach” after our Summer Alpine holiday with the company. The pre booking chats & emails with Amelia gave us a taste of the bespoke type of holiday this team offer. She supported us with travel plans, booking activities & local information. We arrived late due to car issues, we were greeted by the team with food, drink & a hug! Susie is an amazing cook, pancakes & omelettes for breakfast, afternoon cake and 2 delicious bbqs. James sorted out our activities, bike hire, horse riding, white water rafting and gave recommendation's for walks etc. Jemima’s daily outside yoga sessions were planned with the group’s ability and energy levels in mind. The mini aromatherapy head massage to finish was bliss! The chalet felt like home by the end of the week, 2 comfy bedrooms and our own bathroom in a separate area. The garden, table tennis & hot-tub were well utilised by the group. The other families were lovely like minded outdoorsy people, there were lots of after dinner giggles over wine & uno.”

“We have had a truly unforgettable holiday on the Beginner’s sailing holiday under Shirley’s expert care. She is an exceptional instructor who works out how to get the family ticking right from the off. With 17, 14 and 11 year old daughters, not always easy to please, Shirley has taught us so much in sailing terms (with encouragement, fun, humour, flexibility and confidence-building her endless focus), but also on a truly human level in terms of her approach to life and positive approach. She has so much experience, I could have listened to her for at least another week! Teaching was of the highest quality with our endless questions answered. We enjoyed wonderful sea swims after lunch on every sailing day too. Regarding the holiday overall, the other families on the course alongside us were wonderful (one fully supported to travel and enjoy a great week despite having to leave a partner back home due to illness). It’s important to add that Luxouri is a really pretty town with great bars and tavernas to relax and enjoy after a day on the water. Thr town has its own beach and there are others nearby with affordable taxis ready to take you wherever you want to go, not to mention the nearby ferry to Argostoli. The BB team bend over backwards to send you to the right places too, and shops and mouth watering bakeries are a 5 mins walk. We will most certainly be returning for the flotilla holiday. I’d do it next week if I could and already miss the water so much. Thank you so much to the BB team, I will carry this learning experience (that I wasn’t quite sure would be right for me when I booked and was quite nervous about!), in all my life beyond ❤️ It has been such a treat to be challenged in a happy and positive way, and without having to host a skipper 24/7 so a very easy mix of holiday fun and sailing focus. Thanks to BB arranging and offering this, we can now take the next step on our sailing journey ahead ⛵️”

“Almost a 5. First trip to Stira, third with BB. Excellent staff. Mature and friendly young people especially Mia and Emily. Hotel was fine - loved secret beach and sunsets and warm waters. Loved accessibility to town which really made a difference to isolation of Kefalonian resort. Great windsurfing kit which was in demand as sailing did not run for 3 days due to very high winds. On days sailing ran boats were ok …2 of 3 lasers were not in service and largely sail controls non adjustable. Could do with a more robust more advanced dinghy for non beginners…. Neo? Also 2 Argos were in high demand for lessons so could do with something like a 2000 for other guests? Vago too tippy for most and didn’t go out all week. These are minor points but would strengthen your offer for sailing enthusiasts. Thank you BB. Fond memories.”

“This is a truly special place and we can’t wait to go back. Something for all the family, and a warmth and friendliness from hotel and beach staff rarely found. We loved all the activities and the staff were always so obliging and helpful. This really is a hidden gem. Thank you so much Beyond Beach and Lazaratos family for giving us the most amazing week.”

“We've just returned from a second summer holiday in Luxori bay. Hugo and Nell were wonderful and made our family feel so special returning this year, from the personal welcome when we arrived through to the hugs when we left. Ben was superb running the sailing and beach activities and made it great fun whilst always being completely on top of the safety aspect - he is a complete star. Noah was really flexible as the bike guide and we had some super rides with him during the week. And finally, Aki and the Lazaratos family made us feel like we were part of their extended family for the week. Already we’re sure that we’ll be back next year and quite frankly, one week is not enough. We’ll have to come for 2 weeks next year I think. What you have in Luxori is very special! Thank you Beyond Beach for making such wonderful memories for our family.”

“We're just back from a fantastic week at Lixouri Bay. Such a great setting, the most hospitable, hard-working and friendly family running the hotel, a great group of Beyond Beach staff, all activities very well run by Hugo, Ben and Nell, nothing was too much trouble for them and all the staff, most of them still very young, were always happy to chat, help, offer advice etc. We biked, sailed, wind-surfed, swam, paddled, yoga-ed and partied with some lovely like-minded families. There's something for everyone and we'll definitely think about returning next year. Thank you everyone at Beyond Beach!”

“This was our first experience of a 'beach club' type holiday and we absolutely loved it! The setting is beautiful with a very relaxed feel. The family who run the hotel were the most warm, friendly people you could wish to meet and we had some yummy food over the week. The Beyond Beach staff running such a wide variety of activities were great fun and very confident on the water with great patience for teaching us new skills - between us we have learnt sailing, windsurfing and winging, as well as beach walks, bike rides and daily yoga with the lovely Nell (SUP yoga was a particular favourite). Activities for the kids and teens went down really well and were a great way of meeting others without any sense of it being 'forced fun' - very sociable for us adults too - met some great people. We have never returned to a holiday destination before but having found Beyond Beach, we just might!”

“Thank you Hugo, Nell and Ben for another wonderful holiday, they just keep getting better. The inclusion of Yoga this year as part of the activities at Lazaratos hotel is brilliant. There is something for everyone. My husband and brother went out cycling every morning, exploring the island whilst we enjoyed a morning swim or simply relaxed with a morning coffee overlooking the amazing views. During the day we all took part in a huge range of watersports activities, making new friends and learning new skills. Each evening, whilst the boys relaxed in the beach bar reflecting on their day, me and the kids looked forward to Nell's calming and relaxing Yoga sessions, which were accompanied by the sound of 'crickets'. This was a wonderful way of rounding off the day, always well attended and something I am looking to take back home with me. As always, the food was amazing. Akis, Dino and the family looked after us all so well. For someone with complicated dietary requirements, I was able to eat a huge range of delicious, homemade Greek food with confidence. Hugo inspires the team, family, friends and guests, with fun, respect and kindness. This perpetuates throughout everyone in the resort and creates a loving family feeling where all are supporting each other to learn new skills, make new friends and have fun. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all again next year.”

“We felt truly spoiled for a week. The endless offer of sailing activities, yoga and fitness. The super enthusiastic and friendly staff, the personal attention, the good food. We are a family with kids between 8 and 17 and everyone loved it. I also brought my parents (age 75 and 80) who loved it as well!”

“Fantastic week in Stira Bay, Evia. Idyllic setting with stunning sunsets and sea view from room balcony. V enthusiastic, friendly and helpful BB team - we enjoyed watersports, cycling and my 15y old son and husband also did circuits on the beach-rather hot but apparently fun! The team also ran 3 teen activity sessions (and wacky races on last day) which were v popular with my son and he quickly got to know others and had a great week. Easy access to beach from hotel. I loved pre-bfast swims from “secret cove”-so peaceful and crystal clear water. Breakfast had lots of options from 0730-10 (so could get there even if doing early activity) and the inclusive sunset bbqs and buffet dinner were delicious. It was a leisurely 20-30min walk into town (along beach) or 5 mins in taxi then lots of options for dinner by the sea, including great seafood.The hotel taverna and bar had lots of choice for lunch-reasonably priced, esp taverna where portions were v generous and perfect for sharing. We combined our week with 3 nights in Athens at the start. BB arranged transfer from our Athens hotel to the port-v easy, about 1h taxi and then just 30min ferry and few mins in mini bus to hotel. Thank you BB for an amazing week. Highly recommend.”

“The booking and payment arrangements were simple, and pre-travel communications were clear. The arrival and check-in were smooth. Villa Euphoria (Lixouri, Kefalonia) was finished to a very high standard and the equipment was good. The instructor team, led by Hugo was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and patient with beginners. They were also open to feedback. One of the best family holidays we have had. We would choose Beyond Beach again.”

“Such a great family holiday! Amazing friendly team and excellent food cooked by the dedicated family who own the hotel. The beach is pretty much private and the beach bar adds a great vibe at the end of the day. Lots of water based activities on offer and a really good choice of land based stuff too - really enjoyed the yoga! A brilliant holiday for an active family with teenagers. We’ve been three times now and are already discussing next year……it really delivers on every level for us and thank you so much for another wonderful time.”

“We're a school group, who've been running a watersports trip to the Lixouri Bay resort for the past three years, as it is such a perfect place for our kids to learn to sail, windsurf and wing! We take the whole hotel for a week in early July, with 40 or so boys from an independent school, and we have always had a brilliant time - the Lazaratos family have such a great hotel, that they run with warmth, care and genuine hospitality. Hugo, Nell and the Beyond Beach team are just excellent, making every moment of the trip action-packed for our boys, so that many of them come back in subsequent years! This place is an absolute gem, and I can't believe that the sailing area and conditions are not being used by anyone else, as we literally have the entire area to ourselves to play in, it's amazing!”

“This is one of those reviews that, in truth, you'd rather not write! When you enjoy such a wonderful holiday, there's something to be said for keeping it under your hat! However I will share my thoughts. This is a great little hotel with very attentive staff, and the BeyondBeach team are just wonderful... friendly,enthusiastic and great fun. We loved the water sports and benefited from some excellent tuition. We also enjoyed the walks into town and we found some great restaurants there. Congratulations to all the BeyondBeach team and thank you for a most memorable holiday!”
