Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The heart of the hotel is its sleek outdoor freshwater pool, oriented towards the sea with a generous sunbathing terrace, contemporary loungers and parasols. Pool towels are complimentary.
Just steps beyond lies the pebble-sand beachfront of Agios Ioannis Peristeron, where the Ionian Sea is typically calm and clear – ideal for leisurely swimming or a morning paddleboard.
An external watersports provider on the beach offers canoeing, pedalos, kayaks, inflatable rides, snorkelling and motorised watersports (local charges for most options; minimum age 7 years, weather permitting). This keeps the hotel vibe relaxed, while still offering plenty of splashy fun when you want it.
