A former family holiday-home that’s been carefully expanded over the decades, Danai Beach Resort & Villas in Halkidiki is a classic Greek summer-holiday stay. With its private beach, serene spa, three restaurants, plenty of childcare and first-class service, it’s the sort of place you won’t want to leave for your entire trip.

At the hotel

Spa, gym, beach, water sports, classes, crèche, kids club, free WiFi throughout. Every room has a flatscreen TV, DVD player, Bose WiFi music system, Nespresso machine, minibar, Bulgari bath products, air-conditioning, tea- and coffee-making kit, and black-out curtains.

Our favourite rooms

The Mediterranean Two-Bedroom Suite is a star pick, with its large, airy living room and bright bedrooms. The size of the suite means it’s perfect for families, and there’s a terrace for alfresco dining and sunbathing with sea views, too.

Poolside

Flanked by day-beds and palm trees, the large swimming pool has ever-attentive staff on hand to brings drinks to lounging guests. Children are welcome, too.

Spa

The indoor pool at Danai Spa is a great spot for rainy days. You’ll also find a sauna and steam room, and a full menu of spa and beauty delights in the five treatment rooms (many are also available in your own hotel room, too). Don’t miss the Cleopatra room with its golden bath tub. It’s quite something.

Packing tips

All the normal holiday garb will be useful at Danai, and the atmosphere is mostly informal. Bring a few smarter outfits for evenings out, and flat sandals for exploring the glorious beaches.

Also

Most common areas aren’t wheelchair accessible, and the hotel isn’t ideal for guests who have trouble with steps.

Pet‐friendly

Dogs are welcome at no charge – beds, bowls and food are supplied. Beach access for dogs is reserved for those whose masters are staying in a Beach Cabana. (All restaurants are dog free.) See more pet-friendly hotels in Halkidiki.

Children

Danai is super child-friendly. There are kids’ activities, a crèche, and lots of family-orientated restaurants on-site.
