Overview

 
Punta Hotel is a low-key hillside hideaway on Skiathos, wrapped in pine and olive trees and gazing out across the bay to lively Skiathos Town. Traditional whitewashed architecture, a relaxed pool terrace and simple, comfortable rooms create a classic Greek island feel. Spend your days drifting between the lounger-fringed pool and nearby beach, then hop on the hotel shuttle or take a short drive into town for waterfront tavernas and sunset drinks along the harbour.

From its elevated perch on the Punta peninsula, Punta Hotel serves up sweeping views of Skiathos Bay in a wonderfully tranquil setting. A generous pool and sun terrace become the hub of the hotel, framed by tall cypress and pine trees, while inside you’ll find bright, unfussy rooms and a friendly, traditional atmosphere. It’s a place for slow mornings over Greek coffee, lazy afternoons by the water and easy evenings popping into Skiathos Town by shuttle for a dose of buzz when you want it. For couples and laid-back families seeking Skiathos’ softer side, Punta Hotel delivers the perfect balance of peace and proximity to town. Tucked into the hillside just across the bay from Skiathos Town, it’s around 15 minutes from Skiathos Airport (JSI). See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Punta, Skiathos, Greece

Perched on a hillside on the Punta peninsula, this hotel looks across the water towards Skiathos Town on the island’s east coast. The setting is wonderfully green, with dense pine forest and olive groves rolling down towards the sea, and a quiet local beach around 400m away.

When you’re ready for a change of pace, you’re only a few kilometres from the harbour, tavernas and narrow lanes of Skiathos Town. It’s close enough for easy evenings out, yet far enough that nights back at the hotel stay calm and starlit.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 15 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The heart of Punta Hotel is its outdoor freshwater pool, edged by a generous sunbathing terrace with loungers and parasols and backed by tall trees. There’s a separate shallow children’s section so younger guests can splash about, and inflatables are generally allowed, creating a relaxed, family-friendly vibe. Pool towels are typically available against a refundable deposit.

When you fancy the sea, a local beach sits around 400m away, down the hillside. Much of Skiathos’ coastline is sandy or sand-and-shingle, with clear waters and low-key beach bars in season.

Spa, sports & wellness


This is a quiet, outdoorsy sort of place: think gentle strolls among the pines and exploring the island rather than big resort complexes. Cyclists are well catered for, with bike hire and local bike tours typically available for a fee, giving you a great way to discover Skiathos’ beaches and viewpoints under your own steam.

Occasional evening entertainment is offered in high summer (usually July and August), with low-key in-house shows or live music that suits the hotel’s relaxed character.

Around the property you’ll also find:
• Children’s playground in a shaded area (age/height restrictions may apply)
• Reception with concierge-style assistance
• Luggage storage
• Shuttle bus service to Skiathos Town (pre-booking required)

Facilities, times and activities frequently vary by occupancy and season, so treat them as a guide rather than a guarantee.

Exact inclusions and meal times can vary by season, so always check your latest travel documents.

The nearest cluster of bars and restaurants is around 2km away, and Skiathos Town — with its many shops, cafés and tavernas — is around 3km away. The hotel’s shuttle bus or a short taxi ride is usually the most convenient way to access a wider choice of dining and nightlife.

What should I pack for a stay at Punta Hotel?
Light, breathable clothing, swimwear, comfortable shoes for walking the hillside and exploring Skiathos, and a light layer for cooler evenings are all recommended.
