Flights & Transfers

Flights & Transfers are not usually included in our holiday packages as we offer a bespoke travel experience and some guests prefer to organise their own travel independently.

Our Expert Travel Planner

Many guests do however choose to take advantage of our travel planner to book their flights & transfers with us for the peace of mind of an ATOL protected holiday and of course for the added convenience.

You have the option to :

  • Book your ATOL protected flights with us
  • Pre-book your arrival transfer with us for an airport meet & greet and onward travel
  • Pre-book your departure transfer with us for a hassle free end to your holiday.

Our ATOL license 12803  ensures that with a flight-inclusive package you will be looked after in case we have to cancel your holiday or leave you stranded overseas due to any company financial difficulties. It ensures you will receive a full refund for all aspects of your holiday and/or be repatriated.

Booking flights through us incurs a £25 ATOL fee.


Destination – Kefalonia Airport Greece (EFL).

Flight Requirements – changeover day usually Thursday (some flexibility).

Transfer Details – a taxi or minibus takes 60 minutes for the scenic drive around the bay from the airport to the club and vice-versa.

  • 1-4 people in a taxi one-way £70 total including meet & greet
  • 4-8 people in a mini-bus one-way £95 total including meet & greet

What we say…

It’s a good idea to pre-book an arrival transfer and be met at the airport for a stress-free arrival ,as the airport is often quite hectic.

Often guests do choose to make their own way back to the airport for the return transfer at the end of their holiday – a short shuttle bus into Lixouri, grab the ferry across the bay to Argostoli (20 mins) and then jump in another taxi for a 20min ride to the airport. All arranged locally by the team in resort.

Inclusive Activities

Non-inclusive Activities

Group Coaching Sessions

We include optional free group support sessions on a daily basis throughout the week to get you up and running, be safe on the water and to fine-tune those water sports skills. At the beginning of the week we focus “getting you going” and progress to more advanced techniques as the week goes on.

Safety

Safety on the water is, of course, our first priority. Fully qualified RYA beach team run the beach operation. They are vigilant both on the beach and on the water in our registered rescue craft with handheld VHF radios, always working to strict safety ratios and other proven guidelines. Mandatory buoyancy aids, restricted sailing areas, sign-in/out and a compulsory “safety clinic” at the start of the week are some of the many things we do.

Equipment & Conditions

Equipment

We have a fantastic range of kit from RS Sailing, Starboard, RDD, Fat Stick and Severne to name a few. Pre-booking isn’t needed, just wander down and off you go. We also have safety boats ready to go, and a full range of buoyancy aids for security. Here’s a selection of what we might have rigged and ready for you on the beach.

Note – this is just a guide.

Sailing boats

  • Single-hander boat

    RS Neo

    A single-hander with a sparkling performance, easy handling and real durability, the RS Neo delivers maximum reward for minimum hassle. A step-up in speed without the demands of more radical designs. The RS Neo is accessible, exciting and great for a sail around the bay.

  • Compact boat for 2 or single-handing

    RS Zest

    The brand new compact boat that delivers more crew space and practical, enjoyable features than older generation rivals. Class-leading space for two sailors, yet small enough for convenient single-handing. This is a boat to get you onto the water and into the wonderful world of sailing – no hassle – no end to the fun.

  • Compact boat for 2 or single-handing

    Topper Topaz Uno

    The TOPAZ Sailing System delivers versatility without compromise with a breathtaking range of rig options from simple single-hander right through to new generation gennaker sailing. Simply choose a rig to satisfy the sailor or sailors on the day. It is easy to handle and very robust and provides a great introduction to sailing as well as being an ideal family multi-purpose dinghy.

  • 2 to 4 person dinghy

    RS Quest

    A fast modern 2 to 4 person dinghy with features that move the game forward. Big enough for an instructor and 2 or 3 pupils – perfect for Mum or Dad and youngsters – small enough to handle easily ashore and afloat. Durable roto-moulded polyethylene construction – space and stability – reefing, asymmetric spinnaker, trapeze, stowage and a host of other options. It’s not easy to make it all work but RS development team have nailed it on this boat.

  • 1 – 3 person

    RS CAT 14

    This boat takes the enjoyment and handling associated with beach cats to a new level. Stiffness and balance defy the cost-effective durability of the RS CAT14’s construction – making the boat perfect, not only for training and recreational sailing but also as a true performance pathway class. We’re excited – and we think you will be too.

  • 2 -3 person

    RS 500

    The RS 500 is a high-performance vessel, only available at Lixouri Bay Beach Club. It’s a fast and exciting trapeze double hander, used in world championship racing so it’s a vessel for intermediate to advanced levels only.

Paddle boards

  • The world’s most popular inflatable SUP

    Red Paddle Co. 10’6 RID

    If you could only ever have one Red Paddle Co board, the Ride 10’6” is the one we’d tell you to ride – it’s already the world’s most popular inflatable SUP, perfect on clear blue, glassy Greek seas for a little or big explore.

  • The ultimate group paddle experience

    Red Paddle Co. 17’0” XL RIDE

    Go big or go home with our largest board. Everyone can get involved with this giant inflatable SUP.

    Who is it for? Groups of kids, adults a whole family can fit….. Good fun for everyone! Just grab some paddles and head out into the sailing area

Windsurfing boards

  • Red Paddle Co. 17’0” XL RIDE

    Go big or go home with our largest board. Everyone can get involved with this giant inflatable SUP.

    Who is it for? Groups of kids, adults a whole family can fit….. Good fun for everyone! Just grab some paddles and head out into the sailing area

  • Severne Sails – Convert

    The Convert is a fully-featured freeride sail. Range from 4-7m. An obvious choice for any progressing windsurfer, the Convert is purpose-built to be easy to use. Weight is kept to a minimum, boom lengths are short and down-haul tensions are reduced for easier rigging and nice, soft handling characteristics.

  • Windsurf – Starboard Rio

    These are the boards that cover learning, progressing and planing for the first time. They are considered all-rounders because they are equally good at providing stability for beginners to learn and providing power for progressing windsurfers to get planing smoothly. Once planing, the Rios feel responsive and fun. These qualities also make the Rio the number one choice for dozens of schools and centres.

  • Starboard – Go

    Get going on the perfect board. The iconic and irreplaceable GO boards: the progressive boards for improving beginners to advanced windsurfing. The perfect first board that helps you advance from your first steps to fully planing, carve jibing.

Foil boards

  • Starboard – foil

    Flying over the sea without a sound, zipping along silently close to thirty knots. What could be more fun? The Foil 122 is a plug and play freeride foil board: thin for maximum foil control, with 100% sharp rail edges for early planing and a clean water release even when touching down. It is designed purely as a foil board.

    Foil boards are only available at Lixouri Bay Beach Club

Wingfoil

  • A man wingfoiling in the sunset

    Wings

    We have a great selection of new wings from RRD and AFS. Sizes range from 3.5 to 6m, to cover all wind strengths and abilities.

    Boards & Foils

    Our boards range from 90 litre volume for intermediate to advanced sailors to 150 litre volume for those having their first flights. Boards and foils supplied by RRD and AFS. Our foils suit a variety of riders and are a mix of aluminium and carbon construction.

Kayaks

  • 2 person kayak

    Sit on kayaks

    Having two seats, the popular Bay 2 Kayak also allows the transport of a child in the central seat. Easy to carry and with excellent stability.

Bikes

A wonderful place to watch the world go by with countless cafes, tavernas and bars. Whatever you do, don’t miss the best ice cream in the world at “I-Scream” – it’s divine and we love it!

Where exactly is the Lixouri Bay Beach Club?

The Lixouri Bay Beach Club is located a short 5-10 minute drive north along the coast from the cosmopolitan little town of Lixouri on Kefalonia. The town has lots of tavernas, cafes and shops.

The resort itself is just above the beach with a pool, bar and restaurant on site. Down at the beach you’ll find all the watersports facilities as well as the beach bar and beach day beds.

How far from the Airport is the Beach Club? What’s the best way of getting between the two?

Lixouri Bay Beach Club is approximately 60 minutes from the airport.

1) Pre-Book a meet & greet and transfer with us to take away all the hassle. You’ll see our sign and your name on arrival.

2) Grab a taxi on arrival at the airport rank and ask for the Lazaratos Hotel.

What meals are included?

All hotel accommodation and apartments are Club board, which is breakfast every day and four evening meals. Meals are served on Thursday (arrival evening) Friday, Monday and Wednesday (last evening). Lunch and dinner on non-inclusive nights are available at the club taverna, alternatively, there are various restaurants and tavernas in Lixouri Town and the local area.

Our villas are self-catering, with the option to enjoy all meals at the club taverna for an extra cost. There are also various restaurants and tavernas in the local area as well as in Lixouri town where you will find supermarkets should you wish to buy provisions to self cater.

What is the food like?

Our Lixouri Bay Beach Club holidays are offered on a Club Board basis (villas are self-catering). It’s a buffet breakfast served daily between 8am and 10.30am. Fresh, good quality coffee can also be ordered (not included).

Lunch is served at the pool bar and also in the taverna from midday under the shade – it’s a pretty extensive menu with fresh seasonal produce all cooked on site and includes fresh fish.

The pool bar also serves snacks, drinks and ice creams throughout the day.

Your inclusive meals will be served buffet style in The Deck Restaurant on the top floor of the hotel from 8pm on Thursday (arrival day), Friday, Monday and Wednesday (final day) evenings.

On the other nights of the week, the club taverna is still available for meals. These can be added to your room bill.

We also recommend hopping in a taxi for one evening as there are 3 incredible fish tavernas on amazing beaches. These are Sparos Taverna Bistro near Mega Lakkos Beach (15 min drive), Spiaggia Vatsa on Vatsa Beach (15 min drive) and Erisma at Petani Beach (15-20 min drive).

In high season, pre-booking is advisable as well as leaving plenty of time to drive to your destination.

Is there a supermarket close to the club where we can buy provisions?

Yes, there are plenty of mini-marts and a supermarket in Lixouri town as well as plenty of bakeries and cafes too. Lixouri Bay is a 5 – 10 minute taxi ride from Lixouri town.

Are the villas far from the club facilities?

For our Villa Club holidays, a vehicle is included for the duration of your stay. Parking is available for free at the club and beach.

Is the beach sandy?

Yes, it is a wide strip of sandy beach, with a beach bar and a grassy area.

Do all the rooms have sea views?

The Family Suites all have sea views. Of the remaining studio rooms and loft apartments, most, but not all have sea views. Please ask for a sea view when booking and we can advise the availability for your holiday dates.

What facilities are there at the Villas (i.e. is there a washing machine/dish washer etc)

We have a list of all the facilities at each villa which can be found on our website. 

Are there any ‘safe’ jogging routes from the resort

By far the best jogging from Lixouri Bay Beach Club is along the beach. We recommend taking a light jog north from the beach club where you can run right up to an old ruined building. You can then turn back south and again run past the beach club down to where the water level rises. This gives you a bit more of a challenge on the sand! If you are more of a road runner take a trip into the town of Lixouri and run around the back streets – everywhere has pavements and it is a great way to explore Lixouri!

If you are looking for more of an off-road adventure run we know of some really great walking routes that would be fantastic to run – just let us know and we can help you find one!

Where do you recommend to eat in the evening?

Next door to Lixouri Bay Beach Club is V Boutique which offers a good range of seafood as well as vegetarian and vegan options.

There are a selection of restaurants in the local area outside of Lixouri, especially beachfront tavernas, which require a taxi to get to. Please ask a member of staff at the hotel for more details.

There are some fantastic restaurants in the local town of Lixouri. We recommend heading into town on your evening off and following your nose! There is no need to pre-book as the town has many different restaurants and LOTS of space at each. Feel free to ask the management team in resort for their recommendations.

How much is a taxi into Lixouri town from Lixouri Beach Club?

Approximately 10€ each way for a 5-10 minute taxi ride. 4 people per taxi, no exceptions.

Do you provide beach towels?

Yes. We provide one beach towel per person per week. These are signed out on arrival and signed back in before departure.

Is it good for snorkelling and swimming ?

 Lixouri Beach Club is a great place to swim, the sea remains shallow (standing depth) for a long way and the water is clear and calm. Great for children. The snorkelling is limited, due to the sandy seabed, but there’s always something to see, especially if you go early in the morning.

Families

Do you have a kids club? What activities are there for children?

Every week we host ‘meet your mate’ sessions onland for our younger guests. These are designed as icebreakers for the children to begin their holiday friendships. The beach team will organise a few games and encourage the children to have fun together. The age split of these sessions will be determined by the age of the children in the resort.

In addition to these onland sessions we offer a minimum of 2 onwater sessions each week, for each age group. These are not teaching sessions. They are accessible to all abilities and are a series of games using our watersports equipment. This could include activities such as catamaran joy rides or SUP assault courses.

We also offer a Toddler Splash session for under 5’s. This session is facilitated by a team member, however parents must be in attendance. The staff will provide kayaks, sups, and boats for them to play on in the shallows. This session aims to encourage water confidence and to inspire an interest in boats and the water.

We do not offer a daily childcare program or club.

Is there a minimum age for children on the beach/activities/watersports?

There is no minimum age. There is something for all ages and abilities. Under 5’s can join Toddler Splash sessions and enjoy using watersports equipment with their grown ups. Over 5’s are old enough to join lessons if they wish to.

When children are NOT in instructor-led sessions, parents/guardians must remain  close:  

For under 10’s please be afloat with them. 

For 10 to 12’s please remain on the beach. 

For 13+ please remain in the hotel grounds. 

During instructor-led sessions parents must remain close: 

For under 13’s please remain on the beach.

For 13+ please remain in the hotel grounds. 

We have teenage children. Is there enough for them to do?

Absolutely.  We have plenty of activities and lessons to keep them busy. From sailing, to winging, to volleyball, to yoga, to water polo.  We also run a couple of lowkey ‘meet your mates’ sessions which allow the teenagers to meet each other and form friendships straight away.

Of course they can also hang out at the beach bar (which has Wifi available) or spend all day lazing on a sunbed.

For older teenagers, Lixouri town is close by just a 5 – 10 minute taxi ride from Lixouri Bay Beach Club.

What happens if I want to go sailing/ paddleboarding for an hour and I have kids  – do you look after them? Do you offer a babysitting service?

We do not offer childcare or babysitting services.

What age are your life jackets or buoyancy aids suitable for?

Bouyancy aids are compulosry for many of our onwater activities. These are offered in a range of sizes. For our smaller guests, typically under 5’s, we provide life jackets instead of buoyancy aids. These are limited in number and so it is very helpful if your little one can bring their own float coat or life jacket,  if you have one.

Is there a kids pool?

I am afraid there is no kids pool at either of our Clubs.

Is there a kids playground?

Yes in Lixouri in the local town there is a playground. At Stira Bay Beach Club the hotel run a Children’s Play Garden session every day from 12:00 – 16:00.

What food is available for my kids?

All of our inclusive meals are buffet service with a great, wide selection of food. As we are busy with families throughout the summer, our friendly hoteliers and chefs are used to younger guests and therefore cater for this.

If there are any key dietary requirements or preferences that your children have, you can put this into your Guest Information plus it would be good to email us. We will always work with our hotel teams to cater to all of our guests needs.

For the non-inclusive evenings, our hotels have a’la carte menus that have all the favorites, from burgers and chips to local specialties. Local restaurants are also well adapted to catering for children.
