MYRTOS, <strong>KEFALONIA</strong>
By skilfully building on Kefalonia’s architectural heritage, Grace Kefalonia integrates<br />
perfectly with its natural environment. Nestled within a gloriously untouched setting, every aspect of the hotel benefits<br />
from sweeping views across a stunning valley towards the sea and Myrtos beach.<br />
<strong>KEFALONIA</strong><br />
105 elegant hotel suites, split between the main body of the hotel, clusters of futuristic pods and private villas, are<br />
designed to impress. Organic hues and textures reflect the surrounding hillsides while crisp white structures, indigenous<br />
materials and walls of sliding glass infuse every room with a feeling of space and light. State of the art technology, quirky<br />
design features and meticulous attention to detail come as standard.<br />
Other key elements include the resort’s signature spa, a collection of world-class restaurants, a private screening<br />
room and outdoor cinema, tennis courts and a series of spectacular infinity pools - all immersed in a cascade of lush<br />
landscaping and lavender and olive walkways.<br />
Under the watchful eye of the award-winning Grace <strong>Group</strong>, the hotel provides a feast of immaculate services all delivered<br />
by an international team of discreetly attentive staff. The resort’s concierge team are on hand around the clock to meet<br />
each guest’s requirements – whether arranging an in-room massage, a RIB transfer from Argostoli or a dinner reservation<br />
in Fiscardo.<br />
In addition to the resort’s main facilities, guests are invited down to the hotel’s ultra-chic zone on Myrtos beach where the<br />
phenomenal blue palette of the sea and magnificent sunsets create a dramatic backdrop for utter relaxation.<br />
Intimate, refined and subtly elegant, Grace Kefalonia is destined to become a design hotel classic.<br />
It is due for completion in Spring 2013.

SIGNATURE SPA
In the midst of Grace Kefalonia is a haven<br />
of tranquillity inspired by the island of Kefalonia.<br />
A delectable menu of spa rituals bring together a profusion of local ingredients; from organic olive oil produced by the<br />
<strong>KEFALONIA</strong><br />
hotel’s own olive trees and grapes from Kefalonia’s most renowned vineyard to a myriad of herbs and spices grown in<br />
and around the resort.<br />
Just as in classical Greek spa tradition, Grace Kefalonia’s signature spa embraces the rejuvenating power of the ocean.<br />
Thalassotherapy heads up an impressive array of indulgent treatments and holistic practices to restore, revive and reveal.<br />
It also benefits from a sports therapy and regeneration hub where programmes of recuperation are sensitively tailored to<br />
the exact needs of each individual.<br />
At the end of each spa experience, guests are invited to prolong their self-indulgence by relaxing in a private courtyard<br />
where the scent of an organic herb maze and cascading wall-gardens combines with the soothing sound of water to<br />
create an air of natural serenity and utopian bliss.

MAXIMISING MYRTOS BEACH
Myrtos beach will play an integral part in the Grace Kefalonia guest experience.<br />
Accessed by a winding road flanked by tall cliffs and sea caves, the beach is a magnificent natural phenomenon that<br />
has been a pin up for Greek tourism for decades. Following its cameo role in the film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, it has<br />
<strong>KEFALONIA</strong><br />
surprisingly been spared from the hoards by its rather elusive location near the village of Divarata.<br />
Paying meticulous attention to the preservation of the natural environment, the team behind Grace Kefalonia intend to<br />
expand the existing tourist offering on Myrtos in order to make it the most exclusive beach in Greece. Hotel guests will<br />
have direct access to a range of facilities including a bohemian beach bar, volley ball courts and a private zone<br />
where they are free to idle away their time; whether indulging in a picnic delivered directly from the hotel, an Indian head<br />
massage provided by a therapist from the spa or simply soaking up the sun in one of the zone’s stylish<br />
individual ‘beach houses.’<br />
A floating jetty provides mooring for the hotel’s RIBs that will be available to transfer guests to and from some of the more<br />
secluded and private beaches and coastline surrounding Myrtos that can only be accessed by water.<br />
Myrtos offers a picture-perfect setting for beach-chic wedding ceremonies and private photo shoots which can be<br />
arranged by the hotel’s wedding planner. A calendar of annual events will also be offered including firework displays<br />
and outdoor music concerts; with a contribution from all ticket sales distributed to local community, environmental and<br />
marine charities.

ABOUT <strong>KEFALONIA</strong><br />
FROM HOMER TO HOLLYWOOD<br />
Kefalonia is the golden child of the Ionian islands and is fast<br />
becoming one of the most coveted second-home destinations of<br />
the Athenian jet-set. Unassuming and void of brash tourism, there<br />
is something mystical and outworldly about the island. From the<br />
lush olive and citrus groves dotted with tiny historic hamlets on<br />
the south west to the epic scale of the wild mountains and cypress<br />
forests on the Errisos Peninsula in the north; it shimmers with a<br />
bluish-gold luminescence reflected from the turquoise waters of<br />
the Ionian Sea.<br />
The island’s rich history and original beauty have captured the<br />
hearts and minds of some of the world’s most influential icons<br />
and institutions – including Homer and Hollywood. (It was chosen<br />
as the sole location for the film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.) More<br />
recently, it has caught the attention of a group of British geologists<br />
and historians who are working on a theory to prove that the Paliki<br />
peninsula on the western coast is, in fact, the real island of Ithaca<br />
as described by Homer in The Odyssey.<br />
In addition to an unending variety of historical landmarks and<br />
places of interest, the island’s steep mountains, protected coves<br />
and crystal waters are perfect for hiking, cycling and water sports.<br />
Laid-back and low-key, Kefalonia feels like a private sanctuary and<br />
its rustic appeal is guaranteed to steal your heart.
