Kymata Resort

We booked the villa by phone with Antigone. We arrived at the villa, which was in an excellent location. Apart from a washing machine (but there is laundry service), everything was in the apartment, including a malfunction in the air conditioner that was taken care of immediately and a new air conditioner was installed in one of the rooms! Antigone was wonderful, excellent service, we organized a meat dinner on Saturday. Highly recommended.

Truly Unique! Welcome to an experience like no other…. Imagine big a hotel with total privacy and just a few guests, imagine a communal pool but exclusively for you and just a few others, imagine a restaurant you can call and they will bring everything to you. Imagine a bar where you send a WhatsApp for your drink and it just appears! Now, pick up a villa, with its own pool, complete panoramic sea view and grounds and then put it in the most idyllic location with a view to feast your eyes on. Imagine a service so personal it makes a butler and concierge look positively pedestrian. Remove all the pretentiousness and fanfare and I give you the Kymata Bohemian Beach Resort KBBR. Nestled on the southwest coast of the island, just meters from the sea and 12 minutes from Lixouri is KBBR. Due to its geographical location, you get uninterrupted sunrise and sunsets. KBBR is 20 minutes from Turtle Tours (Andy - separate review) 5 minutes from Vatsa Beach Restaurant & Club (Valentina - separate review) and 45 minutes from Myrtos Beach. KBBR has its own beach and access too it via the communal pool area. It’s a perfect launch pad for snorkelling expeditions and general sea swimming. The whole place is managed by Antigone & Nick, a brother and sister team, who not only run a super operation but really should be teaching other places about the art of hospitality. They really are that good! Ok, so onto the actual accommodation. It doesn’t really matter what I write or what pictures you see because its not even close to how fantastic and beautiful this place is. We are a large family of 4 teenage children and our Villa (No.4) was in the perfect location and with plenty of space. The private pools are a decent size too and we played many games in it with all 6 of us. Antigone and Nick offer a kind of customer service I have never experienced. Many times I asked Antigone or Nick to book or sort something and as late as 10PM at night im texting her and she is responding and making arrangements. Nick is a fantastic cook and will pretty much make you anything you want and bring it to your villa or prepare a special meal/evening event for you at your villa or anywhere around the resort. Nick is also very conscious about dietary requirements and will collaborate with you to suggest or offer alternatives to create a dish as close to your liking as possible. He makes a fantastic negroni too!

Very nice villas, we stayed in a 3 bed villa - very spacious with private swimingpool - decent size. Having a car it s a must if you want to visit other places. First shop is at 10 min drive
