Overview

 
The 5-star Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel & Spa unfurls along a tranquil sandy bay on Halkidiki’s Sithonia peninsula, wrapping contemporary Greek architecture around three pools, a spoiling spa and a private Blue Flag–style beach. Think spacious suites, a roof-garden restaurant with big Aegean views, and polished, family-friendly service in a certified sustainable resort.

Soft golden sand at your feet, the Aegean lapping just beyond and an elegant, low-rise resort wrapped around lagoon-style pools – Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel & Spa was made for slow, sun-drenched days. Claim a lounger on the hotel’s own bay, drift between beach bar, spa and roof-garden dinners, and let the pine-cloaked curves of Sithonia form your backdrop. For couples and families seeking Halkidiki’s quieter, more authentic side, Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel & Spa delivers the perfect balance: a stunning private-style bay, seriously good dining and a full slate of facilities in laid-back Akti Elias. It’s around 1 hour 45 minutes from Thessaloniki (SKG) airport. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location



Akti Elias, Halkidiki, Greece

Tucked into a peaceful cove on Sithonia’s western coast, Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel & Spa enjoys a privileged position directly on the sand in tiny Akti Elias (also known as Elia Nikitis). Behind the hotel, pine-covered hills rise gently; in front, the bay shelves softly into clear, shallow water, ideal for relaxed swims and family paddling.

You’re in a quiet spot here, but still well placed for exploring. Neos Marmaras, with its marina, tavernas and low-key nightlife, is around 7km away, while charming Nikiti – all stone alleys and seafront promenade – lies about 12km in the other direction. The hotel operates shuttle buses to both on selected days, so you can dip into local life without hiring a car.

  • • Beach on the beachfront (private-style bay with complimentary sun loungers & parasols)
  • • Neos Marmaras resort centre 7km
  • • Nikiti resort centre 12km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 45 minutes from Thessaloniki (SKG)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Water babies are spoilt for choice. Three outdoor freshwater pools are scattered through the gardens, including a lagoon-style main pool with integrated children’s section and another with a whirlpool area. One of the outdoor pools – with kids’ section – is heated in the cooler months (typically late April to May), ideal for early-season stays.

In cooler or windier weather, retreat to the indoor heated pool at the spa (seasonal opening). Around all pools you’ll find generous sunbathing terraces with loungers and parasols, plus complimentary pool towels.

Step beyond the pool deck and you’re directly on the hotel’s own sandy bay, with shallow, typically calm water and rows of sunbeds and parasols included for guests – exactly what you picture when you think “Greek beach holiday”.

Spa, sports & wellness


The spa & wellness centre (16+ years) offers an indoor heated pool, sauna, steam room and whirlpool, alongside massages, facials and beauty treatments, plus a more exclusive private cave pool (all treatments and certain facilities carry local charges).

A well-equipped, air-conditioned gym features cardio machines and a free-weights area, open seasonally during daytime hours. Organised activities include aqua aerobics, pilates, yoga, table tennis, darts, tennis and volleyball, giving you plenty of ways to stay active between beach sessions.

Practicalities are covered with a 24-hour reception, concierge services, currency exchange, luggage storage, on-site mini-market and facilities for charging mobility scooters. Wheelchairs can be hired on request (subject to availability).

Food & drink


Food is a genuine highlight at Anthemus Sea. The main Elia restaurant serves generous buffet breakfasts and dinners with live show cooking, mixing international favourites with Greek classics. It’s poolside, bright and family-friendly, with a kids’ buffet and highchairs.

For something more intimate, Horizon a la carte crowns the roof terrace. Expect elevated Greek and Mediterranean dishes paired with sunset views – a memorable setting for a date-night dinner. Down on the sand, Yialos a la carte keeps things relaxed with lunches and dinners right by the water, plus a dedicated children’s menu.

Two bars complete the picture: a laid-back Beach Bar open from morning coffee through to after-dark cocktails, and a refined Main Piano Bar for pre-dinner drinks and live music vibes.

A smart dress code may apply in the evening (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen in certain venues). Reservations are recommended for a la carte venues and dine-around credits or supplements vary by board basis and season; check the latest details in resort. What All Inclusive typically includes.

FAQs

Is Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel & Spa directly on the beach?
Yes. Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel & Spa sits directly on a sandy bay in Akti Elias, with the hotel’s pools and gardens leading straight onto the beach. Sun loungers and parasols on the sand are complimentary for hotel guests, giving it a private-bay feel.
How far is Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel & Spa from Thessaloniki Airport?
The transfer from Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) to Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel & Spa is approximately 1 hour 45 minutes by road, depending on traffic and any stops at other hotels en route. Private transfers are usually a little quicker.
What board basis should I choose – Half Board or Full Board?
Half Board at Anthemus Sea includes buffet-style breakfast and dinner in the main Elia restaurant, plus the option to use a dine-around credit towards the a la carte restaurants (Horizon or Yialos) for dinner, with reservation required. Full Board adds a served three-course lunch in Yialos beachfront restaurant. If you like to spend most of your day in the resort and prefer to have meals planned, Full Board is very convenient; if you want to explore local tavernas at lunchtime, Half Board offers more flexibility. Exact inclusions and allowances are subject to change – check current details on arrival.
Is Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel & Spa good for families with children?
Absolutely. The resort is well set up for families, with a children’s section in the main pool (including a heated period early season), a playground, indoor play area for 4–12 year-olds supervised on set days and times, kids’ buffets and menus, and a full entertainment programme with mini-disco during the main season. Many room types – such as Junior Suites, Deluxe Suites and Maisonettes – comfortably sleep up to four guests.

Yes. The spa and wellness centre (minimum age 16) features an indoor heated pool, sauna, steam room, whirlpool and a unique private cave pool, plus a range of massages and beauty treatments for an extra charge. There is also an air-conditioned gym with cardio equipment and free weights, along with organised activities like yoga, pilates and aqua aerobics.
Is the hotel accessible for guests with reduced mobility?
The resort is spread across three low-rise blocks with lift access and gently sloping paths in most public areas. Wheelchairs can be hired via reception (subject to availability and local charge), and there is a charging point for mobility scooters. However, due to the beachfront and garden layout, some areas may be less suitable; we recommend discussing your specific needs with a Travelisto travel designer before booking.
What is the dress code in the restaurants?
During the day, casual beachwear is fine in most outdoor areas, but the hotel requests that beachwear is not worn in the main restaurant and a la carte venues. In the evening, a smart-casual dress code applies, and gentlemen are generally asked to wear long trousers in certain restaurants (policies can change seasonally, so check the current guidelines on arrival).
