Where is Sani Resort Located?

Set on a private ecological reserve covering 1,000 acres, Sani Resort is surrounded by pine forests, olive groves and white-sand beaches lapped by the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea. It’s just a 45-minute transfer from Thessaloniki International Airport, making it convenient while still feeling secluded.

Guests enjoy access to seven kilometres of Blue Flag beaches and miles of forest trails. The resort also features a luxurious marina at its heart, giving it a sophisticated, almost island-like atmosphere. Whether you’re unwinding by the sea, exploring the Sani Wetlands, or enjoying cocktails on the waterfront, the setting plays a key role in Sani’s appeal. The layout of the resort is designed for gentle exploration, with well-maintained paths connecting each hotel and activity hub, allowing you to explore the area on foot or by bicycle.

Which Hotel at Sani Resort is Best for You?

Sani Resort isn’t just one hotel—it’s a collection of five distinct properties, each with its own personality and appeal. Choosing the right one is key to getting the most out of your stay, and One Extra Night Travel can help match you to the perfect option for your luxury Halkidiki holiday.

Sani Beach: The Heart of Family Fun
This is the largest and most family-friendly part of the resort, with spacious pools, direct beach access and a lively atmosphere. It’s ideal for families with children of all ages and those who like to be in the heart of the action. There are multiple pools including infinity pools and dedicated children’s splash zones. The main beach in front of Sani Beach is long and wide with shallow, calm water—ideal for young swimmers. Dining options here are excellent, with Grill by the Pool and Poseidon Restaurant offering a mix of Mediterranean and international dishes in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.

Sani Club: Tranquil Luxury with a View
Set on a hilltop surrounded by nature, Sani Club offers stunning views of Mount Olympus across the sea. The rooms are spacious bungalows with private gardens or pools, offering a real sense of privacy. Guests here enjoy a more tranquil environment, with access to a quiet beach and serene gardens. Ouzerie, one of the standout restaurants here, serves traditional Greek cuisine with a modern twist, all while offering breathtaking sea views. Sani Club is ideal for couples and families who value space, seclusion and direct contact with nature.

Porto Sani: Tailored for Young Families
Porto Sani is designed with families in mind, particularly those with younger children. The rooms are spacious suites with separate living areas, perfect for keeping a flexible routine. Located close to the marina, Porto Sani gives you access to stylish shops, cafes, and calm walking areas. The childcare facilities here are among the best in Europe, with everything from baby care equipment to professionally trained staff available. Elia Restaurant serves healthy Mediterranean food with a focus on locally sourced ingredients, while Artemis offers international cuisine in a chic, contemporary setting.

Sani Dunes: Sophisticated and Adults-Oriented
Sani Dunes offers a chic, cosmopolitan experience aimed at couples and families with older children. The aesthetic here is contemporary and minimalist, with sleek lines, neutral tones and a focus on modern luxury. The private beach is beautifully maintained, and the large heated pools are surrounded by stylish loungers. Fresco, an Italian fine-dining restaurant curated by Michelin-starred chef Ettore Botrini, is a standout option for gourmet cuisine. There’s also a deluxe spa with tailored treatments, a high-end fitness studio, and personal training available.

Sani Asterias: Boutique and Exclusive
Boutique in every sense, Sani Asterias offers the most exclusive experience within the resort. With just 57 suites, each offering direct beach access or marina views, this is the choice for those wanting privacy, space and the highest level of service. Guests enjoy personalised check-in, unpacking service, and a private concierge. Over Water Restaurant provides one of the finest dining experiences in Greece, with a tasting menu that rivals top European city restaurants. The beach is reserved exclusively for Asterias guests, and attention to detail is evident in everything from the in-room amenities to the turndown service.

Things to Do at Sani Resort

One of the things that sets Sani apart is the attention to detail. From the moment you arrive, everything is taken care of. The resort operates like a small luxury village, with 26 restaurants and 13 bars as part of its "Dine Around" programme, allowing you to try different cuisines every night. The variety of cuisine is exceptional—expect everything from modern Japanese and creative Mediterranean to authentic Greek tavernas and seafood-focused menus. This makes Sani Resort one of the best holiday resorts in Greece for food lovers.

Water Sports and Marina Activities
There’s sailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, and diving for water sports lovers. Beginners can take lessons and more experienced guests can enjoy group or solo adventures. The marina also offers private yacht charters for sunset sailing or island-hopping experiences.

Land-Based Activities and Fitness
On land, there’s a Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre offering professional coaching for adults and children. Yoga and pilates sessions are held in scenic outdoor locations, while nature walks and bird-watching excursions introduce you to the region’s biodiversity. Cycling is encouraged and bicycles are available for all ages.

Adventure and Wellness Experiences
The Sani Adventure Park features zip lines and aerial obstacle courses for all ages. There are also art classes, wine tastings, and live performances throughout the resort. For guests looking to prioritise wellness, each hotel has its own spa, offering a mix of local and international treatments, hydrotherapy pools, steam rooms and saunas. Nutrition consultations and detox programmes can also be arranged.

Child-Friendly Facilities and Teen Activities
Families are particularly well catered for. There are creches, mini clubs, and teen activities, all run in partnership with UK-based childcare specialists. There’s even a Chelsea FC Football Academy and Bear Grylls Survival Academy for more adventurous children. Evening entertainment includes family-friendly shows, cinema under the stars and beach discos for teens.

Sani Festival: Culture by the Sea
During the summer months, Sani Festival adds a cultural touch, bringing top musicians and performers from around the world to an open-air amphitheatre set within the resort. From jazz nights and classical concerts to theatre and dance, the Sani Festival is a highlight of the season.
