Porto Sani

Beside the marina at Sani Resort in Halkidiki, Porto Sani is an elegant all suite retreat created with families in mind, combining generous accommodation, lagoon pools and gardens with access to the beaches and remarkable breadth of experiences across the wider estate.

Porto Sani has the feel of a Mediterranean garden enclave. Suites curve around a series of lagoon style pools framed by lawns, mature planting and shaded terraces, creating an atmosphere that feels relaxed and wonderfully easy to navigate. The marina is only moments away, bringing restaurants, boutiques and evening life within strolling distance while the hotel retains its own distinct character.

It is particularly accomplished as a family hotel because so much has been considered before you arrive. Days flow easily between the pools, beach, children's activities and marina, with the scale of Sani Resort adding possibilities without making every day feel organised. There is always another restaurant to try, another activity to join or another corner of the coastline to discover.

Rooms & Suites

Accommodation is entirely suite based, with separate living and sleeping spaces giving families considerably more room to settle in. The one bedroom suites are finished in warm, natural tones with handcrafted furnishings and comfortable sitting areas, keeping the interiors sophisticated while remaining practical for longer stays.

The choice comes down beautifully to how you like to live outdoors. Grand Balcony Suites open onto generous elevated terraces with either garden or pool views, while the Private Garden Suites put a furnished garden directly outside the door. That extra outdoor space is especially useful with younger children, creating somewhere private to retreat between swims, lunches and the busier parts of the day.

Dining

Food is one of Porto Sani's real strengths. Artemis provides the relaxed heart of the hotel for breakfast and dinner, while El Puerto brings something altogether more distinctive, with acclaimed chef Andoni Luis Aduriz interpreting the flavours of Spain through a contemporary menu served beside the pools.

The experience becomes considerably broader through Sani's Dine Around programme. Restaurants across the resort and marina open up a substantial choice of cuisines and settings, allowing evenings to change character throughout the stay. One night can be dinner beside the water, another a more polished restaurant experience, with a walk through the marina and a final drink becoming an enjoyable part of the ritual.

Experience

The lagoon pools form the natural centre of Porto Sani, with different areas for swimming, playing and stretching out beneath the Halkidiki sun. Sandy beaches are close by, while the wider resort adds water sports, snorkelling, diving, windsurfing, cycling, hiking and tennis to the possibilities.

Families are exceptionally well catered for, with children's clubs, playgrounds, entertainment and babysitting complementing the pools and beaches. There is just as much scope for adults to carve out their own time, whether that means a long lunch at the marina, a cycle through the surrounding landscape or a quiet couple of hours beside the pool.

Wellness

The spa provides a calmer counterpoint to the energy of the resort, with an indoor pool, sauna and massage treatments alongside a fitness centre. It gives Porto Sani another dimension, particularly on a longer stay when an hour in the spa can feel every bit as welcome as another afternoon on the beach.

Where

Porto Sani sits at the heart of the Sani Resort on Halkidiki's Kassandra peninsula, a short stroll from Sani Marina and close to the estate's sandy beaches. Its location makes the wider resort wonderfully accessible, while the gardens, pools and all suite layout give Porto Sani enough identity to feel like a destination within Sani in its own right.
