“We've just returned from two weeks in Kefalonia, one at the Beach Club and one on the Introduction to Sailng course. Both were outstanding. At the Beach Club the Lazaratos family were so welcoming and friendly, and the Beyond Beach Active crew were super-helpful and friendly. They seemed to be having the time of their lives and that was really infectious. Once on the yachts, our instructor Barry was great. Very calm (useful when I was learning mooring on the town quay!!), very measured, and full of anecdotes and insights into Kefalonian life. All four instructors across our fleet were very different and equally wonderful. The area around Lixouri is wonderful as well - we enjoyed going out in the town, and particularly enjoyed the local wine festival in Barry's village. We rate this as one of the very best holidays we've done as a family, and I'm certain we'll be back!”

“Our second BB holiday, and first time at Lixouri Bay. We had a fantastic week. We were a group of 8, with 4 teenage children (17 - 19 yr olds). Beyond Beach has something for everyone, you can just sit, relax and enjoy a good book and occasionally take a swim/head out on a paddle board or you can enjoy all the watersports activities available, from 10 to 6, all week long. The watersports team are always friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic - nothing is ever too much trouble and they are there to make sure you have a great time, and pick up some new skills along the way. Alongside the water sports there are teenage games and beach volley ball, and Yoga, not forgetting the memorable beach bites in the beach bar - plenty of opportunities to get chatting to the other guests if desired. All in the environment of a small, family run hotel, where the hotel staff are the perfect hosts. We loved the food at the evening meals - so tasty! Special mention to Dinos, who goes above and beyond! As a holiday option with teenagers it works brilliantly, something for everyone to enjoy, and all organised in a relaxed, easygoing way!”

“This was our 4th year of going to the Lixouri Beach Club - fantastic as always. The Beyond Beach team are super friendly, really knowledgeable and happy to help with all the little things that make the holiday so much fun. The hotel family are the nicest people and are a real example of what to expect from the Kefalonians - warm & welcoming so it's always a real pleasure to return. We're not typically a year on year repeat holiday family but this just cannot be beaten.”

“Spent the May half term with my family (12/15) in the Lixouri Bay Beach Resort and we had a fabulous week. Imagine a week with all of the benefits of a (insert large tour operator) but none of the drawbacks. Lixouri Bay is a fairly small hotel/villa set - family run and incredibly welcoming. Rooms were very clean, looked newly built, everything worked and our small 2 bed apartment had a beautiful view over the beach and bay. Food was delicious although I'm now going crazy trying to find greek yoghurt in the UK which comes close to the standards in the hotel. Where BeyondBeach is really set apart from the (larger operators) was on the beach. Really friendly and skilled team, great equipment and it NEVER ran out. I didn't once experience going to ask for something and not being able to get it straight away. There was never a rush for space on the beach either. Week rounded off nicely with a tremendously fun, if not very serious, mini-regatta. I'd recommend picking up a hire car if you visit so that you can see more of Kefalonia - it's definitely worth it. The restaurants in Lixouri are well worth a visit too.”

“We had never sailed before and so in our 60’s we took the plunge and went with Beyond Beach in Kefalonia to do our RYA level 1. From the initial booking to queries with the office prior to our departure, it was absolutely fabulous! Our instructor Owen was incredible and we passed! Hugo and The rest of the beach team and the hotel staff went above and ‘beyond beach ‘to make everything wonderful. The inclusive meals and breakfast were delicious. Elysia the fitness instructor put us through our paces every morning and the stretch and relax every evening was just what we needed after spending the day in and on the water! We really can’t wait to go again and hopefully bring all our family.”

“Had a fantastic time. I came with a "Competent Crew" certificate, but unfortunately had only sailed once since 2015. Shirley was a brilliant instructor, she took me (us) way beyond CC, I learnt more, my confidence is singing. Thank you so much Shirley!”

“Another fantastic week with BeyondBeach at Lixouri Bay Beach Club, Kefalonia. BeyondBeach works perfectly for me and my husband: Whilst I just want to sit, relax and enjoy a good book and occasionally take a swim or head out on a paddle board (but never pressured by staff to join in or get out on the water), my husband can enjoy all the watersports activities to his hearts content. The Greek hotel staff welcome you like family from the get go and the watersports team are always friendly and professional - nothing is ever too much trouble. It was really lovely to have the Healthy Options included as part of the package this time around. As a holiday option it works brilliantly and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Top tip: Hire a car. Kefalonia is well worth exploring!”
