From the Guest Book
Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
Al Olivar, the location and access to the town and boating were perfect. What stood out about it? Very comfortable, lovely terraces, private access to pontoon and deck with canoes and small sail boat available to guests. The town is a 15 minute walk which made going out for dinner super easy. The organisation, communication and transfers were all phenomenal.
KH October 2025
Al Olivar has many strengths: a fabulous location with direct access to the water, perfect for enjoying a boat, kayak, or simply relaxing by the sea. The setting really is special.
CB August 2025
Our experience at Al Olivar was gorgeous, seamless, and easy. What stood out for us was the sea access and the sea toys.
Myles Clarke July 2024
Our stay at Al Olivar was fabulous. What stood out was the location, the pontoon, and the access to the bay for swimming and water sports. We would return.
Verified guest, August 2024
Al Olivar was spacious inside and outside, practical and functional, and had a great size pool. It was private, well laid-out, and had great views and access to the bay. Overall we were very pleased with booking and support as well as our time on Meganissi.

The Area
Al Olivar is situated above a stunning bay on the north coast of Meganissi, just a 15-minute walk from the seafront tavernas, shops and harbour of Vathi. This superb position may mean you will not wander too far from your comfortable surroundings, but should you wish to, Meganissi and its neighbouring island, Lefkada, are eminently visitable in a week and there are numerous bays and shingle beaches to explore.
Meganissi covers just 20 square kilometres but has plenty to offer, with numerous bays and beaches to explore, sleepy white-washed villages, such as Katomeri or Spartohori, to wander around and lots of good walking paths in the centre of the island.
The two main harbours of Vathi and Spilia are great spots for dining on fish, whiling away an hour or two with a drink in hand or setting out on one of the frequent ferries to visit other islands in the Ionian archipelago.

Boat trips in Meganisi
The north of Meganissi is home to a seemingly endless array of dreamy bays with transparent blue waters, golden beaches, and emerald pinewoods. The best way to explore them is by boat, and you have two options: either rent your own with the help of our Local Concierges (they know all the best people); or let our experienced Specialists arrange a day or two on board one of our skippered charters. The sense of freedom you experience from cruising around, dropping anchor, and diving into the irresistible sea is like nothing else.

One of our guided bike tours also makes a great addition to any stay in Lefkada, taking you onto the island’s hidden tracks in the company of experienced riders who know these trails inside out.

Boat rental in Meganissi
A holiday in the sun would not be complete without exploring the breath-taking coastline, majestic cliffs and glistening azure sea that your destination has to offer. The best way to experience this spectacle is from your very own rental boat, pottering along at a leisurely pace and occasionally stopping off to drop anchor and swim in secluded bays.
