Zakynthos Stays
Aliv Stone Suites & Spa
Aliv Stone Suites & Spa, a boutique retreat set above the Ionian Sea in the quiet northern enclave of Agios Nikolaos, offers a more grounded take on island luxury, where uninterrupted views and a slower pace define the experience. Built entirely from local stone, the architecture draws directly from Zakynthian tradition, with textured facades, natural materials and tiered terraces shaping a design that feels both rooted in place and quietly contemporary. para-2 The 20 suites are arranged to maximise privacy and views, each opening onto a private balcony or terrace facing the sea or gardens. Standout categories such as the Grand Suite with Private Pool and Signature Suite with Private Pool introduce a more exclusive, villa-like feel, while interiors remain clean, understated and consistent throughout. para-3 Dining centres around the Aliv Restaurant, where Mediterranean dishes are shaped by local ingredients and served in a relaxed setting overlooking the coastline. Breakfast is offered buffet-style or continental, while the bar provides a simple, well-paced option for drinks and light fare throughout the day. para-4 The setting encourages a slower rhythm, with days spent between private terraces, the pool and nearby coves. The surrounding area remains largely untouched, offering a more natural, less commercial side of Zakynthos while still allowing access to the island’s key highlights. para-5 The spa adds a more complete wellness layer, with facilities including a sauna, hammam and treatment rooms, alongside a small fitness area, creating a balanced offering without shifting the hotel into full resort territory. para-6 Located around 300 metres from Kremidi Beach and approximately 27 kilometres from Zakynthos Town, the port and the airport, the hotel sits in a peaceful part of the island while remaining accessible for wider exploration.
Contessina Hotel Zakynthos
Contessina Hotel in Tsilivi on Zakynthos delivers a polished five star stay defined by its contemporary layout, strong pool focus and easy access to both the beach and the town. The hotel is organised across three buildings that frame the central pool area, which acts as the main point of movement throughout the day. Walkways, terraces and dining spaces all feed into this core, keeping everything connected and easy to navigate without needing to move between separate zones. Planting softens the structure, but the experience remains centred around this shared space, with clear sightlines across the pool and surrounding areas. It is a layout built around activity and flow rather than privacy, with most guests naturally drawn back to the same central area throughout the day. para-2 The 160 rooms and suites follow a consistent layout approach, with variation coming through outdoor space and access to water rather than interior design changes. Entry level rooms open onto balconies with garden or pool views, while higher categories introduce more defined outdoor living. Swim Up Pool Suites and Garden Suites with Private Pool shift the experience more noticeably, offering direct access to water and a more self contained feel, while Loft Suites and Executive categories add a different sense of space across split level layouts. The overall focus stays on how the rooms connect to the outside rather than decorative detail. para-3 Dining is built around three restaurants, Vedema Restaurant, Vegera Restaurant and Noburu, each offering a different direction while remaining within the same central area. Vedema and Vegera focus on Greek and Mediterranean cooking, while Noburu introduces a more Asian influenced menu, giving a broader mix without overextending the setup. Bars are integrated into the same space, with the pool bar handling daytime drinks and light dishes, while the indoor bar carries things into the evening, keeping everything within easy reach rather than spread across the property. para-4 The pool drives the daily rhythm, with loungers, service and dining all positioned around it, creating a more social environment that suits the scale of the hotel. Most of the day plays out here, with guests moving between sunbeds, the pool bar and nearby dining spaces. The beach is around 100 metres away, offering a straightforward alternative without needing to plan ahead, while Tsilivi itself provides easy access to restaurants, bars and activities for those wanting to step outside the hotel. para-5 Kamara Spa adds a more structured wellness element, with treatment rooms, sauna and a fitness centre providing a clear contrast to the more social atmosphere around the pool. para-6 The hotel is in Tsilivi, around 100 metres from the beach and approximately 6 km from Zakynthos Town and the airport, making it one of the more accessible options on the island while still being close to the main resort area.
Contessina Suites & Spa
Contessina Suites & Spa in Tsilivi on Zakynthos offers an adults only, suite focused stay built around private pool options, a central pool setting and easy access to both the beach and the town. The layout centres on the main pool, which acts as the focal point for the entire property, with walkways and terraces leading back into this space from all directions. It is easy to move between your suite, a lounger and the shared areas without needing to think about where anything is, keeping the flow simple and intuitive. The overall scale is more contained than nearby hotels, which makes a noticeable difference day to day, quieter, more controlled and less exposed to the pace of Tsilivi just outside. para-2 All accommodation is suite based, with layouts focused on outdoor space and access to water. Entry level suites open onto balconies or terraces, while Shared Pool Superior Suites provide direct access to a semi private pool that runs along the ground floor. Private Pool Suites and Private Pool Junior Suites offer a more self contained setup, making it easy to stay within your own space, while Upper Floor Suites and hot tub categories shift the focus towards elevated views and private outdoor areas. para-3 Dining is centred around two restaurants, Lentika and Nobile, supported by a poolside bar. Lentika handles the main day to day dining with a focus on Zakynthian and Mediterranean dishes, while Nobile operates as the rooftop option with a more refined, reservation based setup. The poolside bar keeps things simple during the day, serving drinks and lighter dishes without pulling you away from the main area, while the bar within Lentika carries through into the evening. para-4 The pool is where most of the day is spent, with loungers and service built around it, creating a relaxed but social atmosphere. Guests tend to move between their suite, the pool and nearby dining areas without needing to go far. Planos Beach is around 100 metres away, making it easy to step out for a swim in the sea, while Tsilivi centre is a short walk if you want to go out in the evening. para-5 Kamara Spa provides a full wellness setup with treatment rooms, sauna and a fitness centre, offering a quieter alternative to the main pool area when you want a change of pace. para-6 The hotel is in Tsilivi, around 100 metres from Planos Beach and approximately 9 km from Zakynthos Airport, with the town centre within easy walking distance.
Domes Aulus Zante
Domes Aulūs Zante, part of the Autograph Collection, delivers a large scale all inclusive stay on Laganas Bay defined by its beachfront position, wide range of dining and a more active, resort driven atmosphere. The hotel is spread across a broad site that runs down towards the beach, with accommodation, restaurants and leisure areas positioned so that most routes lead back towards the seafront. Movement is straightforward, with clear connections between rooms, pool areas and the beach rather than a layered or complex layout. Shared spaces are spread out across the property rather than concentrated in one point, which helps break up the scale, but the overall feel remains that of a full resort, with multiple areas in use at the same time and a steady level of activity throughout the day. para-2 Rooms and suites are positioned across different sections of the hotel, with layouts that focus on outdoor access and usable space. Entry level categories such as Tropical Nest and Sapphire Nest offer straightforward setups with terraces or balconies, while higher categories like Grand Sapphire Zen Suite and Sapphire Lush Suites introduce more space and separation. Some suites include private pools, which shift the experience away from shared areas, but most rooms are designed to work alongside the wider facilities rather than as fully self contained spaces. para-3 Dining is one of the main drivers here, with multiple restaurants including Monachus as the main buffet, Meze Means to Share for Greek dishes, Tesoro Mio and The Griglia adding Italian options, and PITA Canteen for more casual food. The setup gives a broad mix without needing to leave the hotel. Bars such as Oikia Main Bar, Caretta Bar and the pool bar are spread across the property, keeping drinks and lighter options available throughout the day and into the evening. para-4 The main pool and beach are the focus of the day, with loungers and service running across both, allowing you to move easily between the two. The beachfront position means the sea is always part of the stay, rather than an add on. Activities are built into the experience, with water sports, fitness sessions, cycling and evening entertainment all forming part of the daily rhythm, alongside more organised options such as excursions and guided experiences. para-5 Domes Soma Spa provides a full wellness setup with treatment rooms, indoor pool, sauna and steam room, supported by a fitness centre, offering a quieter alternative to the more active areas of the resort. para-6 The hotel is located on Laganas Bay, less than 1 km from the main beach area, around 7 km from Zakynthos Town and approximately 2 km from the airport, making it one of the more accessible resort locations on the island.
King Jason Zante
King Jason Zante, an adults only all inclusive hotel in Tsilivi on Zakynthos, is built around expansive water features and suite accommodation, creating a stay that leans heavily on pools, space and a slower daily rhythm. The layout is shaped by a network of large interconnected pools that run through the centre of the property, with suites positioned around these water areas rather than set back from them. Movement across the hotel naturally follows the water, with walkways, terraces and shared spaces all feeding into this central feature. This creates a more contained environment where most of the day plays out within the hotel itself, with clear sightlines across the pools and a consistent sense of openness rather than separate, disconnected areas. para-2 Suites are designed with direct access to water or outdoor space as the main focus. Swim up categories connect straight into the shared pool system, while Island Suites with Private Pool and Garden Suites shift towards more private, self contained setups. Across all categories, the emphasis is on space and outdoor living rather than interior detailing, with terraces and water access shaping how each suite is used throughout the day. para-3 Dining is structured across three restaurants, Watergarden, Haroub and Pisco, supported by two bars. Watergarden acts as the main restaurant with Mediterranean dishes served throughout the day, while Haroub focuses on Levantine sharing plates and Pisco brings in Peruvian influenced options. The bars are positioned around the pool areas, keeping drinks and lighter options close to where most guests spend their time, without needing to move far from their lounger. para-4 The pools dominate the experience, with large surface areas, in water features and multiple access points from suites, creating a setting where swimming, lounging and moving between spaces all merge into one continuous flow. The beach is around 800 metres away, so while it is easily reachable, the focus of the stay remains within the hotel, supported by activities such as fitness sessions, light entertainment and organised experiences. para-5 Purai Spa adds a more structured wellness element, with treatment rooms, sauna, steam room and a fitness area, offering a quieter contrast to the open pool areas. para-6 The hotel is located in Tsilivi, around 800 metres from Planos Beach and approximately 9 km from Zakynthos Airport, with Zakynthos Town around 6 km away.
Lesante Blu Exclusive Beach Resort
Lesante Blu Exclusive Beach Resort, an adults only hotel in Tragaki on Zakynthos and part of The Leading Hotels of the World, is built around private pool suites, a quiet beachfront setting and a more secluded feel just outside Tsilivi. The hotel follows a simple flow, with suites, pools and shared spaces all leading towards the sea, so the view stays present wherever you are. Moving around is straightforward, with everything connected in a way that keeps the focus on the coastline rather than on navigating the property. The atmosphere remains calm throughout the day, helped by the adults only setup and the spacing between areas, so even the main pool and shared spaces rarely feel busy or overworked. para-2 All suites are positioned to take advantage of outdoor space, with most offering private infinity pools that face out towards the sea. Entry level options still include generous terraces, while higher categories such as the Honeymoon Suite and Royal Grand Suite introduce more space and a greater sense of privacy. The emphasis is on staying within your own space when you want to, with private pools and terraces making it easy to spend long periods without needing to use the shared areas. para-3 Dining is spread across three restaurants, Gaia, Melia and Ostria, along with three bars. Gaia handles breakfast and dinner with Greek and Mediterranean dishes, Melia focuses on a more refined à la carte experience, while Ostria works as the more relaxed option close to the pool during the day. Panorama Bar, Almyra Beach House and the pool bar keep drinks and lighter options available across different parts of the hotel, from the beach through to the main pool. para-4 The main pool and private beach sit at the centre of the day, with loungers and service across both, allowing you to move easily between pool and sea without leaving the hotel. The setting encourages a slower pace, with most guests staying on site rather than heading out, aside from occasional trips into Tsilivi or along the coast. para-5 Essence Wellness & Spa provides a full wellness setup with treatment rooms, sauna, hammam and indoor pool, alongside a gym, offering a quieter alternative to the outdoor areas. para-6 The hotel is located in Tragaki, around 3 km from Tsilivi, 7 km from Zakynthos Town and approximately 9 km from the airport, placing it slightly removed from busier areas while still within easy reach.
Lesante Cape Resort & Villas
Lesante Cape Resort & Villas, part of The Leading Hotels of the World, brings a village style resort to Akrotiri on Zakynthos, with sea view villas, a private beach and its own square at the heart of the stay. The resort is built around a central village square, which gives the stay a clearer identity than a standard beachfront hotel. This is where the café, taverna, small shops, folklore museum and church come together, making the property feel more like a self contained Zakynthian hamlet than a conventional resort. From the square, the resort opens out towards the pools, gardens and private beach, so the day has a natural rhythm between the social centre and the quieter coastal spaces. It gives guests plenty to move between without the resort feeling like one long line of rooms and sunbeds. para-2 Accommodation ranges from suites to larger villas, with the strongest categories built around private pools and sea facing outdoor space. Signature Sea View Pool Suites, Family Sea View Pool Suites and the one bedroom pool villas offer a more private way to stay, while the larger Cape and Edge villas are better suited to guests wanting proper residential space. The top villa categories, including The Edge Six Bedroom Front Sea Pool Villa and The Edge Three Bedroom Sea Front Pool Villa, make the resort feel closer to a private coastal village than a typical hotel. Kitchens, terraces and pools become part of the stay, especially for families or longer visits where space matters. para-3 Dining is spread across four restaurants, with Elea Restaurant serving Mediterranean dishes, Novita All Day Restaurant working as the more relaxed all day option, Fiore Fine Dining offering a more polished evening setting and Taverna bringing the village square concept to life with Greek classics and occasional live music. The Noble Bar, Novita Pool Bar and Kafeneio add useful variety without making the resort feel overfilled. Kafeneio is especially important to the character of the place, giving guests a more traditional coffee house setting rather than another generic resort bar. para-4 Days can shift between the private beach, the main pools and the central square, which gives the resort more texture than a simple pool and beach routine. Families have the kids club and playground, while the beach and pool areas keep the main holiday rhythm easy and unforced. There is also a stronger activity layer here, with tennis, yoga, cooking classes, local culture tours and yacht trips available, including excursions towards places such as Navagio Beach or Marathonisi Island. It feels active without losing the slower pace that comes from having the square, café and taverna woven into the resort. para-5 Armonia Wellness & Spa gives the resort a full wellness setup, with hammam, sauna, treatment rooms, hot tub and open air bath, alongside a fitness centre and yoga classes. It adds depth for longer stays, particularly when paired with the private pools and quieter villa categories. para-6 The resort is in Akrotiri, around 1.7 km from Tsilivi Beach, 4.8 km from the Byzantine Museum and approximately 8 km from Zakynthos Airport, placing it close to Zakynthos Town while still feeling removed from the busier resort areas.
Lesante Classic Luxury Hotel & Spa
Lesante Classic Luxury Hotel & Spa, part of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, is a well established five star hotel in Tsilivi that combines multiple pools, varied dining and a location just a short walk from both the beach and the centre. The hotel is organised around a series of pool areas that sit at the centre of the stay, with rooms positioned close by so everything feels within easy reach. You can move from your room to a lounger, then across to dining or drinks without any distance, which keeps the day flowing naturally. It has a more traditional five star feel, with a steady rhythm from morning through to evening, where time moves between the pool, restaurants and the surrounding area rather than staying fixed in one place. para-2 Rooms and suites are spacious and consistent, each opening onto a private balcony that adds a usable outdoor element to the stay. Categories with outdoor hot tubs bring in a more private option, while the rest focus on comfort and ease rather than overcomplication. The layout works well for guests who want a comfortable base with enough space to relax, while still spending most of the day across the hotel’s shared areas. para-3 Dining is handled by Ambrosia Restaurant and Neptune, giving a clear split between buffet and à la carte. Ambrosia covers breakfast and dinner with Mediterranean and local dishes, while Neptune offers a more focused menu from its open kitchen. Nectar Pool Bar keeps drinks and lighter options close to the pool during the day, while the Lounge Piano Bar adds an evening setting with cocktails and live music. para-4 The three outdoor pools shape the daytime experience, with plenty of space to settle in and move between different spots depending on the time of day. The beach is just a short walk away, making it easy to switch between pool and sea without needing to plan around it. With Tsilivi centre close by, the hotel also works well for guests who like to step out in the evening, whether for dinner, drinks or a change of pace. para-5 The spa adds a full wellness layer, with an indoor heated pool, hammam, treatment rooms and a gym, giving a quieter option alongside the more social pool areas. para-6 The hotel is in Tsilivi, around 80 metres from the beach, approximately 5 km from Zakynthos Town and 9 km from the airport, placing it in one of the most convenient parts of the island.
Porta Del Mar Beach Resort
Porta Del Mar Beach Resort is a small, family-run beachfront retreat near Psarou Beach that focuses on space, privacy and a slower, more personal way of staying on Zakynthos. The layout is simple and intimate, built around a handful of stone villas and newer apartments that face directly towards the sea. Everything feels close to the water, with gardens, terraces and shared areas all gently connected rather than spread out. It has a noticeably quieter pace than most hotels on the island, shaped more by the setting and scale than any formal structure, which gives it a more relaxed, residential feel throughout the day. para-2 Accommodation is split between traditional stone villas and more contemporary apartments, all designed with generous living space and proper separation between indoor and outdoor areas. Terraces and verandas are a key part of each unit, with most opening directly towards the sea. Higher categories such as the private pool villas add a more self-contained feel, while the apartments keep things simple but well sized, making them work just as well for longer stays as short breaks. para-3 Dining centres around Porta del Mar Restaurant, where Greek dishes are prepared using local ingredients and served in a straightforward, relaxed setting by the water. Breakfast follows the same approach, with a mix of local produce and simple classics rather than anything overly structured. The bar stays close to the pool and garden areas, making it easy to pick up drinks or light food without interrupting the flow of the day. para-4 The private beach is a defining part of the stay, with calm, shallow water and sunbeds set just a few steps from the villas. The infinity pool adds an alternative, but most time naturally shifts between the beach, terraces and shaded garden spaces. There is enough here to stay put, but the hotel also works well as a base for exploring, with boat trips, coastal walks and smaller beaches all within easy reach. para-5 Wellness is kept informal, with yoga sessions, fitness classes and spa treatments available without becoming a central focus of the hotel. para-6 The resort is located near Psarou Beach on the northeast coast, around 12 km from Zakynthos Town and approximately 14 km from the airport, placing it in a quieter part of the island while still within reach of key areas.
