Perched above the Ionian Sea, where pine-covered hills tumble into secluded coves, this is a place to retreat for a gloriously unhurried holiday.
In a truly enviable spot on Greece’s pristine northwestern coast, Elix is a five-star hideout that keeps things relaxed without skimping on the details that matter. Think contemporary design, panoramic views of neighbouring islands, a fabulous choice of restaurants, and just the right mix of privacy and social moments. There’s plenty of space for families to spread out, a brilliant line-up of kids’ activities, and thoughtful touches that make travelling with little ones feel simple. It’s a modern spot with a laid-back soul that’s perfect for those who like their luxury with a bit of personality.
Why we love Elix, Mar-Bella Collection
-
Many of the rooms and suites come with private pools or swim-up access, so you can soak up the sunshine with a glass in hand and zero find-a-lounger panic.
-
The hotel’s Dine Around programme lets you taste your way through several à la carte restaurants, without buffet déjà vu.
-
There’s a funicular lift connecting this clifftop hotel to the immaculate beach below, or you can follow the shady steps to the sand.
-
The setting offers a peaceful escape from the usual tourist bustle, with quiet surroundings, uncrowded beaches and no noisy nightlife to keep you up past your bedtime.
Rooms
The rooms are suites are thoughtfully designed, featuring natural textures, and calming tones that reflect the surrounding landscape. Whichever you go for, you get a fabulous view of the Ionian Sea. Swim-up rooms and those with private pools add another layer of ease — perfect if the idea of stepping straight from your terrace into the water appeals. Couples might lean towards the more compact double rooms, while families will appreciate the extra space in the family rooms that have two single sofa beds in a separate living space. Both are available with a swim-up option.

Wellness at Elix is easy to dip into, whether you're after a deep-tissue massage or a burst of activity. The spa keeps things simple and calming, with treatments focused on real relaxation. If movement’s more your thing, there’s a well-equipped gym, tennis courts, and a full schedule of classes including Pilates, stretching, strength training and high-energy sessions. Yoga in the open-air amphitheatre is a standout, with fresh air and sea views adding something extra to each session.


When you’re ready to rouse from your lounger, there are forest trails and hidden beaches waiting to be discovered. Head out on foot or by bike to the peaceful monastery of Agios Athanasios, with a quirky abandoned zoo along the way. For a bit more adventure, take the winding trail to the secret beach of Prapa Mali, where sweeping views of Karavostasi Bay and the Ionian islands make it well worth the effort.
When night falls, the adventures continues. Join an expert team every Wednesday at the outdoor amphitheatre for stargazing. Using a high-tech telescope, you’ll get a close-up look at planets, nebulae and far-off galaxies, and snap your own space shots to remember it by.
Try water skiing, wakeboarding or inflatable rides for a hit of adrenaline, or keep things calmer with paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkelling or pedalos with slides for the kids. There’s even a giant SUP for group fun. Boat rentals let you explore the coast at your own pace, while private cruises take you to spots like Paxos, Corfu and the Blue Lagoon. For younger guests, a dedicated watersports programme* helps build confidence while having a lot of fun.
Solar panels heat the water, LED lighting keeps energy use low, and desalination systems provide fresh water straight from the sea. Even the gardens are irrigated with recycled water and planted with native species. Food management plans mean there’s a resort-wide commitment to reducing food waste and the safe disposal of waste, too.


Elix Mar-Bella Collection is made for families who want more from their holiday: more space, more freedom, and way more fun. With roomy family suites and interconnecting options, everyone can spread out and settle in. Mealtimes are a breeze too, with plenty of easygoing dining choices that keep both kids and grown-ups happy.
When it comes to activities, there’s loads for them to dive into. The Explorers Kids Watersports programme is a big hit for ages 5 to 13, with tailored sessions that build water confidence and keep things exciting for every ability level. Older kids and teens can get stuck into tennis, hiking or watersports like waterskiing and wakeboarding. They also get 30 minutes of pedalos, canoes or SUPs every day, all included as part of the premium all-inclusive.
And just when you think the day’s winding down, the evening programme kicks off. Running throughout the summer and school holidays, it’s designed with 4 to 12-year-olds in mind. From the Great Night Adventure treasure hunt and the Elix Champion’s League sports night to the silent disco, science labs, talent shows and movie premieres, there’s something different to look forward to every night.
