Overview

 
Perched on a Kefalonian hillside with widescreen views over the Ionian Sea, Louis Apostolata Island Resort & Spa combines a peaceful, away-from-it-all setting with a great choice of pools, restaurants and family-friendly facilities. Spend days drifting between the saltwater infinity-style pools, the spa and the sun terraces, then hop on the courtesy bus down to Skala or Poros for a change of scene.

Think sunrise over the mountains, sunsets melting into the sea and pools seemingly spilling into the Ionian. Louis Apostolata Island Resort & Spa takes full advantage of its elevated position, with layered sun decks, sea-facing rooms and relaxing spaces where you can simply sit back and drink in the view. For couples and families wanting Kefalonia’s natural drama with hotel-style comforts, Louis Apostolata Island Resort & Spa is a smart choice. It sits on a quiet hillside just outside Skala, with a courtesy bus down to the beach and nearby resorts, and it’s around 2 hours from Kefalonia Airport. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Skala, Kefalonia, Greece

Set on a quiet hillside above the coast between Skala and Poros, Louis Apostolata Island Resort & Spa feels wonderfully secluded while still being handy for days out. From the terraces and many rooms you look straight across the Ionian Sea towards mainland Greece, with nothing to interrupt the view but sky and water.

Skala itself is one of Kefalonia’s most sought-after resorts, known for its 3km sweep of sand-and-shingle beach, turtle-spotting opportunities and relaxed tavernas. From the hotel you can head down into town for beach time and dinner, then retreat to the calm of the hillside before bed.

  • • Beach (Skala) 4km
  • • Skala resort centre 4km
  • • Poros reachable by shuttle bus (six days a week)
  • Approx. transfer time from airport (EFL – Kefalonia) 2 hours (coach, depending on stops and traffic)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


With its tiered layout, the hotel is all about pool-and-panorama days. There are three outdoor saltwater pools, including:

• A main infinity-style pool with a wide sun terrace and sea views
• A second large saltwater pool with plenty of loungers
• A dedicated adults-only saltwater pool for extra tranquility (seasonal opening)

Little ones get their own separate children’s pool, and complimentary pool towels are provided.

The nearest main beach is down in Skala, around 4km away, a 3km stretch of sand and shingle backed by pine trees and beach bars. It’s ideal for swimming, watersports and long seaside walks, and easily reached using the hotel’s shuttle service or local taxis.

Spa, sports & wellness


The on-site spa is a welcome retreat after a day in the sun, with a sauna, steam room, whirlpool and a menu of massages and beauty treatments (minimum age 16 years, extra charges apply). Opening hours typically run from late morning into the evening during the main season.

Active guests have access to a well-equipped gym with cardio machines, free weights and fixed-strength equipment, alongside tennis, table tennis and darts. Frequent daytime activities usually include small team games, racket sports and water-based fun.

Families benefit from a children’s playground with slides, plus highchairs in the restaurants. There’s also an on-site mini-market for holiday essentials, and the hotel’s reception team can help with concierge-style services, luggage storage, shuttle schedules and local tips.

Facilities, opening hours and entertainment schedules are seasonal and may vary during quieter periods.

Food & drink

Food is a strong point here, with a generous buffet restaurant and two à la carte venues that make the most of the sea views and long Kefalonian evenings.

The main Sea Pearl Restaurant serves buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner with show-cooking at breakfast and dinner, and a mix of Greek and international favourites. For something special, Ostrako A La Carte Restaurant sits on the roof terrace for dinners with a view, serving refined international dishes. Down by the pool, Zephyros A La Carte Pool Restaurant covers relaxed lunches, snacks and a mix of international, Italian and Greek cuisine.

Drinks are served at the elegant Ionian Emerald Lounge Bar, open into the night, and the Sunrise Pool Bar, which keeps you topped up with cold drinks between swims.

Smart-casual dress codes apply in the restaurants (no beachwear, long trousers requested for gentlemen in the evenings). Reservations are required for à la carte dinners and some venues or items may carry a supplement depending on your chosen board basis. Opening times and offerings can vary by season.

If you choose All Inclusive, expect buffet-style meals at the main restaurant, unlimited reservations at Ostrako for dinner subject to availability, snacks including ice cream for at least three hours a day, and a selection of local wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks served for a minimum of 12 hours daily.
