Tsilivi
The principal resort village on the east coast, fifteen minutes by car from Zakynthos Town, with the long sand-and-pebble beach running along the bay and the visitor-circuit concentration of restaurants, bars and beach clubs behind. Three BHC properties anchor distinct positions across the wider Tsilivi area. Paliokaliva Village sits on the quieter hillside above the village in eighteen traditional stone-built villas, apartments and studios distributed across olive groves — a privately-owned mother-daughter operation by Anastasia and Ioanna, with the property's name meaning "old hunters' spot" and its logotype drawn from the ancient Mycenaean roof symbol on the Linear B tablets, the earliest known form of Greek writing. Named Europe's Best Apartment Hotel by the Boutique Hotel Club in 2022. King Jason Zante anchors the adults-only end of the inventory above Tsilivi Bay in the Paliovigla area — a five-star lifestyle all-inclusive resort opened in 2023 across twenty-five thousand square metres, with five suite categories (most carrying direct in-suite swim-up pool access), three restaurants, and the Purai Spa. Operated by Louis Hotels. Contessina Suites & Spa sits steps from the Tsilivi beach in the adults-only Contessina Collection — sophisticated Venetian-influenced design with lush gardens, the 93 Novantatré wine cellar named after the Libro d'Oro della Nobiltà Italiana (the Golden Book of Italian nobility), and a wellness-and-spa programme as the property's principal anchor.
