Sani Marina, hugely popular with motor yacht owners and sailors alike, sits at the heart of the incredible 5-star Sani Resort. Extolled by Condé Nast Traveller as the best resort in Greece, it’s home to 1,000 acres of lush pine forest, long sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters and breathtaking views over the Aegean Sea. But its pleasures go way beyond its natural charms.
Sani Marina 215 berths and 3m water depth for vessels up to 26m LOA (85ft). Berthing at Sani Marina gives you access to this exquisite resort, made up of 4 luxury hotels, 4 spas, chic boutiques, stylish bars, exquisite dining and endless sporting opportunities.
It’s the perfect base from which to explore the secluded coves of Halkidiki and the islands made famous by the film, Mamma Mia. Be sure not to miss an excursion to the unique World Heritage Site of Mount Athos and its monasteries.
What’s more, since Sani’s closest airport, Thessaloniki International, is just a 3-hour flight from most major European cities – and a leisurely 40-minute drive from there – you can quickly find yourself in the perfect holiday setting.
Our favourite picks from Sunseeker Hellas are;

Entertainment under the stars – Sani is every inch the entertainer. Its 500-capacity open-air Garden Theatre, offering a wide variety of performances, musicals and entertainment 5 days a week. Sani’s famous ‘White Parties’ at Bousoulas Beach every Wednesday are not to be missed. And each Sunday throughout the peak season you have Sani Eco Days to look forward to.
A wonderland for children – Sani Beach Hotel was this year’s winner of the Top 5 Hotels for Families in the World, Top 5 Hotels for Families in Europe and Top Hotel for Families in Greece by TripAdvisor – Sani has a reputation as a family paradise.
Fine dining – The Piazza offers a world of choice for even the most seasoned gourmets. First off, there’s Greek chef Chrysanthos Karamolegos’ Tomata. Lauded by Condé Nast Traveller as one of Europe’s 25 best restaurants, it promises innovative Mediterranean cuisine, with a contemporary twist.

Up the glam stakes a little with the newly opened Byblos Caviar – Greece’s only caviar restaurant.
Sailing Academy, Sports and activities – When it comes to activities, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Take to the sea and learn scuba diving from the professional PADI instructors at the Sea World Diving Centre, or try your hand at windsurfing, waterskiing or banana boat riding.
At Sani Resort adults and children can experience the skills and thrills of sailing the crystalline waters.
If you fancy something more land-based, then avail yourself of the outstanding sports facilities and coaching for all ages and abilities. The brand-new, state-of-the-art Sani Sports Centre boasts 6 clay tennis courts as well as amenities for football, table tennis, basketball and volleyball.
Indulgent pamper days – Should you ever tire of the countless activities and entertainment, inimitable feasting experiences and lazy days on the beach, turn the spotlight on yourself at My Spa. After one – or several – luxurious head-to-toe treatments, designed by the exclusive French brand Anne Sémonin, you will leave feeling utterly refreshed and revitalised.
Sani is best enjoyed from your berth – Berthing at Sani Marina is more cost-effective than staying in one of the resort hotels. If you were to spend the night in Sani Beach Hotel at the beginning of June, prices for a Junior Suite Garden View (for two adults and a child) would start at €254. Whereas berthing your 38ft yacht would cost just a ¼ of the price €51 a day (+23% VAT).
Then as we move deeper into high season, at the start of July the same room at Sani Beach Hotel starts at €380 a night. And an identical berth costs a ⅓ – €104 per day (+23% VAT).
