Danai Beach Resort
Halkidiki
OVERVIEW
Halkidiki splays out across the Aegean like a trident; if you are imagining this, Danai Beach Resort is located on the second ‘prong’, in Greek Macedonia. This is called Sithonia. Arriving from Thessaloniki you’ll drive through an inconspicuous gate into what is essentially a small village, complete with designer boutiques.
Carefully expanded over the decades, the former family home now affords its own private beach, a serene spa, three fantastic restaurants and more child-friendly facilities than you can shake a stick at. Almost everywhere is open to families, including the palm-flanked outdoor pool which has lots of loungers and attentive staff who are able to bring refreshing drinks to your side.
If that’s not enough relaxation for you then head indoors to the spa pool which is a refreshing, child-free retreat with a full menu of pampering delights. Don’t miss the Cleopatra room for a chance to sink into the golden bath tub.
