The upper-middle-range Petani Bay Hotel is an adults-only, 14-room property with a peaceful setting offering gorgeous vistas over Cephalonia. There's little within walking distance, and due to the beach being a five-minute drive away, a rental car is advised. For on-site sunbathing, a lovely infinity-edge pool has sweeping bay views and an adjacent bar. All rates include a well-regarded breakfast buffet, and the restaurant serves traditional Greek fare for other meals. Rooms vary in decor and amenities, but all are elegant and charming, outfitted with kitchenettes, furnished terraces -- all with sea views -- air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. Bathrooms, however are a bit compact. Also on the downside, there are no full spa or gym here. Families should consider the kid-friendly Apollonion Resort and Spa, which also has a spa.

The 127-room, upper-middle-range Apollonion Resort & Spa offers a peaceful stay with extensive amenities, about a five-minute walk from Xi Beach in Cephalonia. Beautiful grounds and mostly contemporary design provide a lovely setting where there’s plenty to do. The large pool and spa with treatment rooms, a sauna, and hot tub offer relaxation, while a wading pool, playground, and game spaces entertain children. Rooms are simple, albeit comfortable and featuring outdoor spaces, while higher-category rooms have upscale bathrooms with deep tubs and separate showers. Modern amenities in all rooms include minibars, coffeemakers ,free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. White Rocks Hotel & Bungalows is a lovely alternative, and it’s both on the beach and closer to cities, but it doesn't have a spa.
