SKIATHOS HOLIDAY SUITES & VILLAS
1 to 3-Bedrooms | From €220 per night
Set within expansive, lawned grounds just behind Vromolimnos Beach, Skiathos Holidays Suites & Villas strikes a rare balance between the freedom of space in an apartment and the ease of a hotel. It’s the sort of place where children can wander barefoot between breakfast, the lawn and the beach, while parents enjoy the luxury of not having to sweep up crumbs, make beds or negotiate another restaurant meal when everyone is running low on energy.
Its greatest asset is its location. The walk to Vromolimnos Beach takes little more than two minutes, making forgotten buckets, lunchtime naps and impromptu swims effortless. Equally valuable is the combination of spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom accommodation with hotel comforts such as daily housekeeping, regular linen changes and an exceptionally generous breakfast served from 8.00am until 11.30am—an indulgence for families whose mornings rarely run to schedule.
THE SPACE
A long-established property thoughtfully refreshed, the resort comprises a collection of rustic-contemporary suites and villas where natural stone, solid wood and understated black accents create interiors that feel both elegant and welcoming. There is no swimming pool, gym or glossy kids’ club—and none feels missed. Instead, children have generous gardens dotted with swings inviting the kind of imaginative outdoor play that rarely needs organised entertainment, while the sea remains just beyond the garden.
The attention to detail impresses. Kitchenettes are genuinely equipped for family stays, with a Nespresso machine, dishwasher, stainless-steel kettle and practical touches such as drying racks and wash basins for rinsing swimsuits. Olive Era toiletries, complimentary bottled water to tide you over until your first supermarket run, beach towels and reserved sunbeds all reflect the same thoughtful approach. Although there isn’t a guest washing machine, laundry can be arranged through reception with ease.
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
The location continues to shine once you step outside the gates. Porto Paradiso next door elevates the typical beach-bar experience with surprisingly good food, while just up on the main road you’ll find Lori’s Souvlaki for effortless takeaway dinners, a well-stocked mini market for kitchen essentials, and Kioupi for modern Greek cuisine. Vromolimnos is also home to Skiathos Boats, whose private transfers to Tsougrias take just 15 minutes from your hotel doorstep —an ideal first boat trip for younger children—along with longer excursions to Lalaria and the island’s more remote coastline.
ONE THING TO KNOW
If you’re travelling with toddlers, we’d recommend choosing a suite rather than a villa. The villas are split over two levels, and the internal staircases have low parapet walls that may constantly worry parents in the company of adventurous little climbers. The single-level suites remove that concern entirely.
