Map & location


Kalamaki, Zante, Greece

Venus Hotel & Suites sits in a handy yet peaceful spot in Kalamaki, a favourite Zante resort for couples and families. You’re only about 200m from the resort centre, where you’ll find laid-back bars, traditional tavernas, shops and mini-golf, yet far enough away that the hotel retains a calm, relaxed poolside vibe.

Kalamaki’s broad sandy beach – part of the protected Bay of Laganas, home to the famous Caretta Caretta turtles – is around 500m away. In the evenings, stroll into town for sunset drinks and Greek dinners, or hop in a taxi to nearby Laganas or Zante Town if you fancy livelier nightlife or harbour-front dining.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 35 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The heart of Venus Hotel & Suites is its inviting outdoor freshwater pool, framed by palm trees and plenty of sunbeds. There’s a shallow children’s section built into the main pool, making it easy for families to stay together while everyone enjoys the water. Inflatables are permitted, so you can bring your favourite lilo for long, lazy afternoons.

Fresh pool towels are available (local charge or deposit may apply), and the pool area is usually open from early May to the end of October, weather permitting.

When you fancy a change of scene, the golden sands of Kalamaki beach are around 500m away. This wide, gently shelving beach is part of the protected Bay of Laganas, so you’ll often see areas roped off to safeguard nesting loggerhead turtles. Sunbeds and watersports are available in selected areas, giving you a choice between quieter stretches and more active spots.

Spa, sports & wellness


This is very much a relax-and-unwind kind of hotel: the focus is on the pool, the sunshine and the friendly bar rather than a packed activity programme.

While there’s no formal spa or gym on site, you’ll find:
• A welcoming reception area with concierge-style assistance
• Currency exchange for your day-to-day spending
• Pushchair and wheelchair hire (local charge; subject to availability)

Being centrally located in Kalamaki means you’re close to mini-golf, bike and car hire, and local tour operators for boat trips to Turtle Island, Blue Caves excursions or island tours – ideal if you want to add a touch of adventure to your beach time.

Activities


While Venus Hotel & Suites doesn’t run a large entertainment programme, the easy location and friendly team make it simple to design your own mix of relaxation and low-key fun:

• Chill-out days around the pool with drinks and snacks from the bar
• Evenings enjoying the hotel’s relaxed bar atmosphere before heading into town
• Nearby mini-golf and family attractions in Kalamaki
• Local excursions such as Turtle Island boat trips, Blue Caves cruises and island tours (arranged via local providers)

This is a great choice if you prefer peaceful days and the freedom to dip into activities and nightlife when you feel like it.

During the day, the Venus Snack Pool Bar keeps everything easy with light bites and refreshing drinks just steps from your lounger – great for simple lunches and lazy afternoons by the water. In the evenings, wander into Kalamaki for traditional Greek tavernas and family-run restaurants, or stay on site for a relaxed drink by the pool.
