Where Paradises Meet

“Where paradises meet” is the signature motto for Sani Resorts, but until you actually visit, does this make sense?.

A Luxury Eco-Resort located on the Kassandra Peninsula in Halkidiki, Greece, spread over a 1,000-acre ecological reserve, the Resort comprises five unique luxury hotels – Sani Beach, Porto Sani, Sani Club, Sani Dunes, and Sani Asterias. At the heart of the Resort sits a cosmopolitan Marina lined with upscale restaurants and bars, as well as boutique shops, and of course, a Marina at Sani would not be complete without the Luxury Yachts.

Despite the Luxury and Modern Contemporary Interiors, the Resort emphasises its natural setting with a huge sustainable tick-box of attributes, offering Pine Forest Walking Trails, Wetlands, and beaches of 7km - all awarded Blue Flag status.

Sporting facilities and children’s activities are world-class, offering a Chelsea FC Training Academy with coaches such as Rio Ferdinand, a Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre, and Bear Grylls Survival Academy,y which I have to say is great for the whole family even though the teens would probably do a better job surviving than I would! Over the course of a morning, I learnt how to read the time and compass points from the sun, how to light fires, and carve wooden arrows. This activity is totally free for guests staying at the resort, as is the Sani Treetop Adventure, with an extensive course of climbing and ziplining. There are children’s splash pools, bike hire for everyone, indoor and outdoor fitness equipment, as well as daily activities such as yoga and Pilates.

I stayed at the elegant Sani Dunes Hotel in a Double Garden Suite. A contemporary suite with its own 30m2 garden terrace that overlooks the pool, an ideal place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. All of the rooms are equipped with your essentials of Wi-fi, bathrobe/slippers, beach bags, Coffee Machines and coffee, Kettle and a selection of luxury teas, Hairdryers, Minibar, AC and Heating, TV, and Anne Semonin bathroom amenities. Sani Dunes was just perfect for my few days away from home, offering a more relaxed pace ideal for couples or singles, featuring a spacious pool (in fact, the largest lagoon-style heated pool in Greece), Michelin- starred menus, and a relaxing Spa and Fitness Centre - I only wished I could stay longer!

Compared to some of the other hotels, Sani Dunes offers a very grown-up atmosphere set on flat terrain, making it ideal for older guests. It is located on the beachfront and all on the doorstep of Sani Marina where you can venture out to. Sani offers a Dine Around option and restaurant menus; within the entire Sani Resort, you will also see a Dine Around option that you are able to use.

Sani Resort is a Destination in itself,lf and there is a hotel for everyone, whether you are travelling solo, as a couple or as a family. Whichever hotel you choose based on your requirements, you will experience the whole resort in one form or another. Sani really is a place where paradises meet‘ - I loved my time here and cannot wait to experience it with my family.
