The Lures Hotel, where glistening Mediterranean waters reach the rocky Kalkan shores, a heaven of blissful seclusion; elegant, endlessly social and yet the suites are also perfectly private.

Dominating the hillside above Kalamar Bay, The Lures Hotel boasts unrivalled widescreen views over the Mediterranean and it’s islet neighbours, Mouse and Snake Islands. The hotel is effortlessly chic and has been meticulously designed over the past ten years. While large and impressive, it has just 52 rooms each has been pioneered to embrace the local regional spirit. Decor is fresh, neutral tones, cool tiled flooring, expansive windows and high vaulted ceilings give rise to a feeling of light and Mediterranean living.

Large sculpted grounds provide plenty of serene spaces to unwind and make the most of outdoor living in the alluring Turkish Climate under balmy skies. The expansive gardens are sea-facing, teeming with bougainvillea as well as fragrant and exotic plant life. There’s no shortage of bathing opportunities, a large state- of – the -art swimming pool takes centre stage and is the perfect spot to inhale the inspiring sea vistas. Just footsteps away is the hotel beach club, this classically elegant setting is a sanctuary to rewind and renew while listening to the rejuvenating sounds of the sea. There are even a splattering of cabanas each voluptuously furnished in a nautical vibe ideal for those seeking solitude and privacy by the water’s edge.

The Lures offers a variety of  dining experiences created by known chefs from across Turkey. And we expect in the years to come, as the hotel becomes more established that it will develop a firm foodie following. The restaurants feature a fusion of Mediterranean and Turkish specialities as well as some international favourites. There is also a sophisticated restaurant with a steak culture which will suit those who relish the very best.

Make the most of your stay with well-being experiences that reset the mind. The hotel features a superb spa with indoor pool, hammam, sauna, steam rooms and expansive treatment menu. The Fitness Centre is fitted with state- of-the-art training equipment and provides the perfect sanctuary for those in need of an active distraction.

Luxury villa in a Superb location. Villa Dolicha is a splendid villa on Kefalonia, with arguably some of the best views in Greece.

This is a truly stunning property, and perfect for a family, with 3 well appointed bedrooms, a spacious living and dining room and fully equipped kitchen.

The highlight of Villa Dolicha however, has to be the expansive terrace with its shaded dining area, perfect for barbecues on balmy summer evenings, and of course the huge infinity pool with mesmorising views out to sea and over the island of Ithaca and beyond.

For those guests wanting to sample the delights of Fiscardo Harbour, it is only 10 minute walk in to town, and the pretty beach of Embilisi is also nearby, making its location hard to beat.

Guests at Villa Dolicha have the added bonus of using the private entrance into the five star Emelisse hotel where they are more than welcome to use the facilities including the famed restaurant and many treatments available at the Spa.

If you prefer to stay at home, it is even possible to arrange for massage and beauty treatments at the villa, or perhaps a private chef for an evening to prepare a mouth-watering meal in the comfort of your own home.
