Windmill Bay Hotel sits on the seafront in Argassi, one of Zante’s most convenient and compact resorts. You’re far enough from the main strip to enjoy a calmer atmosphere, yet close enough to stroll into the centre for bars, tavernas and shops. The hotel overlooks a sand‑and‑shingle waterfront backed by greenery, with steps leading down from the grounds to the beach, and Zante Town is within easy reach for day trips or evenings on the harbourfront.
- Beachfront accessed via steps directly from the hotel
- Argassi resort centre 600m
- Zante Town short taxi or bus ride
- Approx. transfer time from airport 45 minutes
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s outdoor freshwater pool is the social hub, set just above the shoreline with views across the bay. A shallow children’s section makes it easy for little ones to splash safely, while sunbeds line the terrace for lazy days in the sun. Pool facilities and opening dates can vary slightly by season.
From the edge of the property, steps lead down to the beachfront, a sand‑and‑shingle strip lapped by typically calm, clear water. It’s ideal for a quick dip between pool sessions or a gentle paddle with the kids, with Argassi’s scenic coastal backdrop all around you.
Spa, sports & wellness
Windmill Bay Hotel is designed more for relaxation than high‑energy sports, with the emphasis firmly on the sea views, pool time and good food. While there’s no dedicated spa or gym on site, the hotel offers:
• A children’s playground (age/height restrictions may apply)
• Two restaurants with highchairs and children’s menus
• Reception services with concierge‑style assistance and luggage storage
• Equipment hire, including wheelchair hire for those who need a little extra support getting around (local charge)
Additional local activities such as boat trips, water sports or car hire can usually be arranged via reception or nearby agencies in Argassi.
Activities
Windmill Bay Hotel keeps things pleasantly low‑key, focusing on relaxation and simple pleasures rather than a packed activity schedule. Typical ways to spend your day include:
• Lounging by the pool or on the beachfront, dipping in and out of the sea
• Letting younger guests enjoy the children’s pool section and playground
• Strolling into Argassi for café‑hopping, ice creams and shopping
• Joining optional local excursions such as boat trips to Shipwreck Beach or turtle‑spotting in Laganas Bay, bookable nearby
Entertainment programmes are limited and can vary seasonally, which suits guests who prefer a quiet base and evenings out in the resort.
Guest services
Guests benefit from a friendly, hands‑on team who look after the practical details so you can relax:
• Reception with concierge service for local tips, restaurant recommendations and excursion assistance
• Luggage storage so you can enjoy the facilities before check‑in or after check‑out
• Equipment hire, including wheelchair hire (local charge)
• Housekeeping with daily room cleaning, linen and towel changes
• Free Wi‑Fi throughout the property
Service levels or hours can vary slightly in low or shoulder seasons, but staff are on hand to help with anything you need during your stay.
Food & drink
Food is a big part of a Greek island stay and Windmill Bay Hotel makes the most of its location.
At the heart of the dining scene is the pool snack bar and buffet restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch, snacks and a range of international and Greek favourites. Families are well looked after with highchairs and children’s menus, and the open‑air setting keeps things relaxed.
For something a little more special, Anadalis Restaurant is the hotel’s à la carte venue right by the beach, open from May to October. Expect modern Greek dishes and Mediterranean flavours with a front‑row seat to the sea – ideal for a date night or a lingering holiday dinner.
A poolside bar keeps drinks and light bites coming through the day, with local, international and premium brands typically available. A smart dress code may apply for dinner, and reservations or supplements can vary depending on your chosen board basis; details are confirmed locally and may change by season.
