You only have to look at the glowing customer reviews of Sani Resort to understand why families come back here on holiday year after year.
The resort’s prime position, right on the coast of the Kassandra Peninsula in Halkidiki, is obviously a big part of the attraction. And it doesn’t hurt that all its beaches are on the beautiful Aegean and it’s also surrounded by over 1000 acres of unspoiled nature. Then there’s the private marina, a choice of no less than five different hotels as well as over 40 restaurants and bars, pools a plenty, exquisite spas for all manner of soothing, plus a shopping mall, treetop adventure park and a seemingly endless supply of activities, ranging from water sports to professional football coaching. But it’s the sense that families really are at the heart of everything that definitely gives Sani Resort the edge when it comes to creating those truly great holidays, everyone remembers, for all the right reasons.
And now they seem to have surpassed even their previous stellar standards of family-friendly with the refurbishment and redesign of the all-Suite Porto Sani hotel. Ready to launch in May for the 2020 season, Porto Sani is dedicated to young families and to ensuring every second of holidays with babies, toddlers and under 12s is just that – a holiday; making sure frazzled parents have a chance to unwind, chill and take some essential guilt-free time for themselves.
