Overview
The undisputed monarch of the Mediterranean, Sani Resort has held the title of the ‘World’s Leading Family & Beach Resort’ not once, not twice, but a whopping six consecutive times at the World Travel Awards. The byword for elevated, easy, elegance, standards set at Sani are skyhigh. For those not yet familiar with the concept allow us to set the scene; at Sani Resort you’ll find five 5* hotels set within one of Greece’s most beautiful bays. Guests choose one base for their bedrooms, but are welcome to wine & dine, across the whole paradisiacal portfolio
Set against the backdrop of Sani’s forests, enveloped by soul-soothing nature, Sani Club is ideal for parents seeking peace and privacy. Ease-inducing accommodation comes in the form of beachfront suites and sea-view bungalows, some with private gardens and heated pools. Inside, you’ll find airy interiors designed with comfort and convenience in mind. Dining at Sani is equally impressive and we assure you, every meal here is a gourmet experience. With 26 restaurants to taste test, the creative cuisine here is definitely a cut above the rest. Now seamlessly connected to the rest of the resort via a pram-friendly promenade, guests at Sani Club can easily reach the buzzing marina, luxury boutiques and neighbouring eateries
Taking child care to a whole new level, you’ll find a creche, Kids Club and (surprisingly rare) heated pool at Sani Club, alongside Annabel Karmel (aka the queen of nutrition) designed menus, beachside babysitting and a raft of watersports. But it’s the genius extras that really puts this all-age utopia in a league of its own; we’re talking, a Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre, Chelsea Football Academy, Bear Grylls Survival, Treetop Adventure Park, rock climbing and bungee trampolines. Our only word of warning? Once you’ve sampled Sani’s sophistication, your holiday standards will never be the same again

Favourite room
The best base for 1 & 2 bedroom private pool rooms for families, all rooms here have been recently renovated to a high degree. Even the entry level Double Rooms are the resort’s largest, but if your budget can stretch, the One Bedroom Bungalow Suite Private Gardens are nothing short of magic. Designed to accommodate families of up to 4, gangs are treated to a master bedroom, separated living area and private garden. Upgrade to the Private Pool option and you won’t be disappointed. Got more peeps in your party? The Two Bedroom Bungalow Suites are perfectly suited for groups of up to 6

Sani is undeniably beautiful. It’s perfect for families who want a VIP ‘Maldives’ experience without the price tag (or 10 hour plane journey!) The food was, on the whole, outstanding and the service reliably wonderful. In Club, under 12s stay free, and we found it perfectly suited to tiny travellers. We stayed in a Sea View Family Suite with a private terrace and loved the huge freestanding bath and comfy outdoor furniture. Sani really did have everything we needed for ultimate convenience & relaxation
Worth waking the baby for
01
Bear Grylls Survival Academy
Foraging for wild food and building survival shelters may not be the normal activities associated with a super luxe holiday, but as we know by now, Sani is full of surprises. Guests can opt for the (free!) family (children aged 6+) or teen course, Under the guidance of Bear Grylls’ hand-picked team of instructors, aspiring adventurers will trail through the woods, astro-navigate a night time trek, learn concealment & navigation, before toasting marshmallows on a self-built fire
02
Treetop Adventure Park
The sky’s the limit at Sani’s (free to access) Treetop Adventure Park, where legs tiny and tall can tackle the cloud-top courses. Safely harnessed in, tiny travellers under 11 (but 6+) are welcomed with a guardian, while those older can scale the heights solo
03
Sani Marina
Sitting at the heart of the resort is the Sani Marina. A mini village in size & service, you’ll find a postcard-perfect piazza lined with restaurants & shops, while the waters are equipped with a fleet of luxury yachts waiting to be chartered for your very own Greek Odyssey
Reviews from other parents
We stayed at Sani Club where the decor was exactly as we had imagined - sleek and contemporary vibes with a Grecian influence. Everything was white, blue and very tranquil. A luxury hotel it might be but the atmosphere was very welcoming from the moment you arrived (the glass of prosecco we were greeted with definitely helped!) Nothing felt like too much of an ask and the service was excellent
@carrie_elizabeth_dennahy
We stayed at Sani Club, the most rural & spacious feeling of the hotels. I love the outdoors and Sani Club has the perfect mix of natural location & luxury. Beyond the stunning setting, everyone is so friendly and the bustling family vibe means no one is phased by mega toddler meltdowns. Sani has so many restaurants to choose from, my favourites being Tomata, Macaroni & Psaroyannos
