“Our week at Beyond Beach Lixouri completely surpassed our expectations. We loved the intimate, family atmosphere, and the team were simply superb. Hugely impressed by their can do, positive attitudes, and their commitment to making your week a very special and personal experience. Highly recommended.”

“Had a lovely week at the Lixouri Bay beach club. Hugo and the team made us feel very welcome. The thing I like about Beyond Beach is that you can do as little or as much as you like and never feel judged. The location is ideal for water sports or just sitting on the Sandy beach. Agis and the hotel staff were so lovely too. For us Beyond Beach are the best of the bunch.”

“We have just returned from a fantastic week at Lixouri Bay! The booking process was very easy with the UK office answering my many questions in advance of our trip. Transfer to & from the airport in Kefalonia was efficient with the taxi company messaging me in advance to combine us into a minibus with another family to save costs. The family run Lazaratos Hotel was fabulous, be prepared for it being out of town though with no facilities or shops nearby, we took a taxi into town with two other guests when we arrived for E10 each way and stocked up on lots of bottled water, drinks & snacks for the room etc. But the beauty of it being out of town was that we felt our 13 yr old son was safe walking from the hotel to the beach with his new friends. From everyone sitting not really talking on the first night by the end of the week we felt like we knew everyone & made some lovely friends! Great buffet food on the inclusive nights and always something that our fussy eater could eat. Great choice of delicious food at lunchtime from the poolside bar. The beach facilities were great with lots of different sized windsurf sails & boards available. My husband was on one of the three catamarans every day whilst i enjoyed the single hand Topaz boats. We didn't go to any of the organized sessions as we can already sail so cant comment on those. Our only niggle was that the staff took a while to accept that we (including our son) could sail and let us take boats out in windier conditions. We would definitely go back.”

“Our family of four, including two teenage boys, had a fabulous week learning to sail yachts out of Lixouri. Our instructor Shirley was a fantastic teacher, with incredible depth of experience that she passed on with patience and good humour; but also great company to have with us on the boat every day. We couldn't believe how much we grew in confidence and ability as the week went by. We're already planning to go back to do the flotilla holiday, and put our new skills to use. On shore, Lixouri was a lovely town to have as our base, and gave us a week of great eating and drinking in its bars, restaurants and bakeries. This is our second holiday with Beyond Beach - we also went 7 years ago to the dinghy sailing in Kefalonia - and we love the way they deliver a high quality experience with such a laid back attitude. They seem to have the knack of seeing the holiday from the guests' point of view, and then doing everything to make it as fun and relaxing as possible.”

“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!”
