1.) Sani Resort, Halkidiki
One of the best family hotels in Greece that’s truly made for kids of all ages.
Let’s be honest, you’re not booking a family hotel in Greece just for a kids’ club. Yes, they’re a huge benefit and an absolute gem if your child is old enough, and more importantly, loves them… but there’s so much more to family-friendly hotels than that. It’s all about making your holiday less stressful. This is where Sani Resorts and hotels in Greece come into their own.
For instance, Sani Resort in Halkidiki (you fly into nearby Thessaloniki) is an absolute gem. They’re so much more than a hotel with a kids club! They’ve really nailed down how to make family trips easier and more convenient, whilst giving you as much or as little independence as you and your children need.
We absolutely loved our trip to Sani Resorts, where we chose to stay at Sani Dunes. We chose this hotel as it was a quieter and smaller option compared to some of the larger hotels in Sani Resort. You see, Sani Resort has several hotels around a cluster. It’s like a small town, and you can dip in and out of each resort, regardless of which one you’re staying in.
For babies, they have qualified nannies and daycare and all the items you’ll need when you arrive. They provide everything like feeding chairs, cots, baths, sterilisers and even food, baby soaps and strollers. This makes a trip much easier as you’re not having to cart a huge amount of luggage to and from home. Plus, their fleet of taxis has car seats which you can use for your family.
For older children, you have amazing experiences and kids’ clubs, ranging from the Rafael Nadal Tennis Centre and the Bear Grylls Survival Academy for little explorers. Plus, for dinner, each of the Sani Resort restaurants has totally free food for children and babies. It’s so good, and all made fresh!
Finally, there is a heap of pools, entertainment centres, bars and restaurants. All of which are child-friendly. This way, you can enjoy your holiday without having to worry about cut-off times to get the little ones out of restaurants. Plus, you can choose meal plans, from full board (all meals) or half board (breakfast and dinner). We did the latter, as you actually get discounts to spend in places like the Beach Bar, which is great for a lazy lunch.
Also, don’t forget that Sani Resort Hotels are also the same company as Ikos Hotels. The same concept, just all-inclusive, so all drinks and expenses are covered. If that’s more your vibe, have a little gander, as they’re one of the best family hotels in Greece if you want to not worry about additional spending once you get to Greece.

2.) Costa Navarino, Peloponnese
An iconic family hotel in Greece that’s in its own luxury, resort-like town!
Nestled on the south coast of mainland Greece, Costa Navarino has the same type of setup as Sani Resort. This means there is a cluster of brands and hotels that make up a resort, which is amazing if you want variety. Not only is Costa Navarino amazing if you want a luxe hotel experience, but it’s also in the stunning Peloponnese, which has some incredible beaches and coastline to enjoy.
Now, the reason why Costa Navarino is one of the best family hotels in Greece is that it encompasses four five-star hotels: the gorgeous Westin Hotel, the uber-luxe Romanos (A Luxury Collection) Hotel, the younger W Hotel and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The latter is a world-class hotel, and it’s totally amazing.

3.) Atlantica Eleon Grand Resort, Zakynthos
The best premium all-rounder family hotel in Greece!
One of the benefits of Atlantica Eleon Grand Resort is that it doesn’t position itself as an uber-luxury, family resort. That being said, it’s certainly not budget, either. The Atlantica Eleon Grand Resort in Zakynthos, which won’t break the bank (though it can be higher at peak times), is one of the best family resorts in Greece if you’re looking for easy access to the award-winning beach and baby pools, which are perfect for younger kids. Now, what I would say is that the beach (Katragaki Beach) is a little pebbly here. Though, don’t fret if you want a sandy beach, the Atlantica Eleon Grand Resort more than makes up for a few stones.
