"Set in Perdika on the western Epirus Coast, this resort offers private and infinity pools, multiple dining options, and ferry access to Paxos." - Caterina Hrysomallis
"Parga, Greece Depending on your route, the journey to and from Elix is as unforgettable as the destination. If you can, arrive in Corfu, where you can take the hotel’s boat, sailing past caves and secret beaches, to reach the resort’s beach cove. From there, it's a fun ride to the top, where you’ll then be welcomed at the tranquil, spa-like reception. The journey to the hill-top location is worth it, with other-worldly views overlooking Paxos, Antipaxos, and Corfu. These views are made a focal point in the rooms via clear balconies, and even from the pool via a freshwater infinity pool. Much of the action takes place there or on the beach, and both are served by a dedicated bar team serving cocktails and light bites. There are plenty of options beyond the pool too, especially for families, with kids activities including treasure hunts, sports championships, and theater shows. A London creative events company even organizes the likes of stargazing and Greek mythology games during summer. Distance to the water: A boat ride away Travel time: 1 hour 13 minute drive from Preveza Airport Price: Rooms from around $192 per night" - Lauren Burvill
"Igoumenitsa, Greece You should choose to arrive at MarBella Elix by private boat transfer from Corfu. Even the surliest adolescent will be exhilarated by the Mediterranean breeze, the coves and caves, and secluded beaches. Like a hidden Bond villain’s lair, the hotel, opened in May 2021, emerges from the pine-covered hillside, with a funicular running down to the cream-colored sands of Karavostasi beach. In another life this was a favorite hangout of German van-lifers. Today it’s one of the best beach hotels in Europe, home to inviting lounge chairs and a smart beach restaurant and bar, Azure. From strollers and baby monitors to the well-stocked shop and the heated and shaded children’s pool, all the key ingredients are here. The hotel draws on its surroundings, with complimentary sailing tasters and snorkeling around underwater meadows, hiking, yoga, and mountain biking on land. A London creative events company organizes everything from stargazing to Greek-mythology games for children come summer. Choose from nine family-room options, some with panoramic private pools or two stories—all of them, like the rest of the hotel, comfortable but super smart; beachy but beautifully pared back. —Becky Lucas Price: Doubles from around $217" - Lauren Burvill
"A 2022 Hot List hotel It might not be located actually on the islands but from its hilltop location, MarBella Elix affords otherworldly views of Paxos, Antipaxos, Corfu, and the glistening Ionian. Elix’s reception is like a sort of celestial spa, with barn-high ceilings and windows that frame the infinity view. Colorful tapestries hang throughout, infusing the place with local artisanal history, complementing the overall sunshiny modern-luxe feel. From the very popular Greek and Mediterranean buffet to the even more creative Greek fine dining, the food and drink are uniformly local and delicious. Available activities range from kayaking into hidden bays and mountain and coastal biking to alfresco yoga sessions, sailing courses, and snorkeling around underwater meadows. —Becky Lucas" - Becky Lucas
"Elix stands out among the world's all-inclusive hotels because of its location on a cliff above a white-sand beach and turquoise waters. The 146-room property is designed to ensure your experience is focused around the glittering Ionian Sea. From the moment you awake, until the sun sets over the water, you’ll be in the presence of this natural beauty — especially if you choose to spend your days swimming, kayaking, or sailing." - Travel + Leisure Editors
