Kefalonia Ionian Lixouri

Greek island vibe

Overview

Location and type

Our active Beach Club “Lixouri Bay” is located in a peaceful beach-side location 4km from the bustling little town of Lixouri, on the incredibly beautiful Ionian island of Kefalonia in Greece. It’s an incredible destination for sailing holidays and active beach club holidays with a large sandy beach and safe sailing area.

45 mins transfer from Argostoli airport.

Single

Out of school holiday periods and away from the crowds we often have solo travelers enjoying the sun and water sports. Its the kind of place where there’s loads to do and everyone is really friendly. The island is a fascinating place to explore with excellent local walks, museums and places of interest. We offer single occupancy in our studio appts at certain times of the season.

Couple

There’s no doubt that if you can, June and Sept are the best months to visit Kefalonia. Cheap flights, less intense heat, loads of free sailing equipment and a wonderfully relaxed vibe about the place. Oh, and endless games of pit pat and backgammon by the pool.

Family/Friends

It’s amazing for families and ideally suited for children and younger teens. We don’t run specific kids clubs or child care, however, our friendly beach team do all they can to get everyone on the water with “kids only” sailing clinics and other fun activities organised on the beach such as volley ball, table tennis and SUP excursions.

Accommodation

Our large studios, family-suites and loft apartments at Lixouri Bay are comfortable and nicely presented. Most have outstanding sea views, overlooking the beach and across the bay to the mountains beyond. Spacious, cool and modern with self-catering facilities and tea/coffee making facilities. There’s an internal lift also if required and WIFI throughout.

Our lovely Villas Afrodite and Kalithea are very close by, and offer that little bit of exclusivity and independence some people are looking for.

NOTE – Our rooms are offered on a club board basis (all breakfasts & 4 eve meals) and villas are self-catering

Loft Apartments

When/Weather

When is it open

Lixouri Bay beach club is open from May Half Term 2019 until to end September 2019

And the Weather

Kefalonia island has a lovely Southern Mediterranean climate of long dry summers and warm wet winters. A jumper might be needed for the evenings in May and September with the odd drop of rain here and there, but throughout June, July and August it’s pretty much 25-35 degrees, sunny skies and clear warm waters.

Activities

We are so lucky to have a such safe sandy beach and sailing area to ourselves, with cross shore reliable winds in an incredible sailing area – only about 85 metres from the Hotel down a gently sloping direct access path to the beach, bar and our pontoon. Our beach club opens it’s shack doors at 10 am and carries on through until the early evening to make the most of the best wind, closed over lunch.

The water sports facilities are available 6 days per week, usually shut on our main changeover day Tuesday. We’ve a first come first serve system and we keep an eye out to ensure it’s fair, there is no need to pre-book boats, just turn up and go. The guys on the beach will help advise on the right kit to take out, rig and prepare it, and see you out safely.

In the morning whilst there’s light winds and calm seas it’s ideal for beginners in our stable dinghies, learning to windsurf and checking out our free tuition clinics . Grab a kayak, stand up paddle board or go for a swim. Lounge by the pool with a book, hang out at the beach bar or have a game of table tennis or beach volley.

The afternoon’s fresh cross shore winds are perfect for performance sailing on cats, fast trapeze dinghies and short board windsurfers.

the safety

VHF safety at the beach club

Safety on the water is of course our first priority. Fully qualified RYA instructors run the beach operation and 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, mast floats on all boats to prevent full capsizes, prop guards on the safety boats, restricted sailing areas and a compulsory “safety clinic” at the start of the week are just some of the many things we do.

Equipment

The kit

Brand spanking new for 2018 we’ve a fantastic range of kit from RS Sailing, Starboard, Red Paddle Co 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.

Quest

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.

RSNEO Sailing

RS Neo

A single hander with 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.

RS ZEST

RS Zest

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.

RScatamaran

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.

10,6 Red

Red paddle co. 10’6 RIDE

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.

XL SUP

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!

WIND SUP

Red paddle co. 10’7” WIND SUP

Yes, a SUP that’s also great for windsurfing. With the purpose-built Wind 10’7″ you get the benefits of the world’s most popular inflatable SUP, only with the added benefit of being able to fit a sail for the days when the breeze is up.

Convert windsurf

Severne Sails – Convert

The Convert is a fully-featured freeride sail.

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 downhaul tensions are reduced for easier rigging and nice, soft handling characteristics.

The 2018 Convert features dacron Flex Zones that absorb chop impact and gusts to give an incredibly smooth ride.

Sizes: Range from 4-7m

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. Your perfect first board that helps you advance from your first steps to fully planing, carve jibing.

FOIL BOARDING

Starboard – foil

Flying over the sea without a sound, zipping along silently close to thirty knots. What could be more fun?

New for 2018, 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.

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.

Food

What’s included

We offer this holiday as a “Club Board” option – all breakfasts and 4 evening meals are included.

We love the food

Don’t expect drab international food – do expect to come home a little bit heavier though from the excellent variety of locally sourced and zinging-fresh, quality ingredients served at the club taverna open for breakfast and lunch daily, and snacks/drinks from the beach bar all day. All dietary requirements are catered for. Or get some bits from the mini market in town and sit on your balcony with a cold beer and a few nibbles.

With 48 variety’s of grape grown locally and some very fine internationally recognised wines to try, along with some fantastic Hellenic craft beers, there’s plenty to enjoy.

Breakfast is included every day

Tea and cafetiere coffee
Juices (not freshly squeezed)
Continental style with fresh bread, cheese, ham, home-made jams, croissants, muesli, cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurt and honey, home-made pastries

4 evening meals are included

Arrival night evening meal buffet style served on the top veranda

on evenings without inclusive meals

There are 3 evening meals that are not included. Bar snacks are available to order on these evenings should you wish to stay at the club.

Here’s some options to check out in the local area.

We really suggest trying out a great little Greek taverna “Faros” which is only a 20 minute level walk along the beach – really authentic with stunning views, amazing grill and Kefalonia dishes – super value too.
A sunset meal at one of the best beaches in the Greek islands is also a must. Petani beach and taverna “Erasmia“. Only a 10 minute taxi ride from the club this place is incredible – get there early for a swim and settle down for a wonderful eating experience.
Head into town and Lixouri square, 5 minutes in a taxi from the club. 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” – divine.
