Sani Holidays 2026 / 2027 | Low £19pp Deposits

Sani is Halkidiki at its most luxurious - soft white sands, pine-lined paths and crystal-clear water wrapped around an ultra-polished resort marina.

🎉 Sani Holidays 2026 — Good to Know

☀️ Summers hit 28–32°C with long, sunny days from June to September. The sea stays warm enough for swimming well into October, and the pine trees along the coast give you shade when you need a break from the sun
💶 Sani leans luxury — expect to spend a bit more than other Halkidiki resorts. That said, the Sani Resort dine-around programme gives you access to up to 25 restaurants across the complex, so you get serious variety without leaving the resort
🌿 The Sani Resort sits on a 1,000-acre private estate that includes a certified wildlife reserve, protected wetlands and Blue Flag beaches. It's one of the few resorts in Greece where you can spot flamingos between dips in the pool

Best time to go on your holidays to Sani

With its long sunny season and warm, calm coastline, Sani shines from spring through autumn - each with its own atmosphere, and better yet, with the change in season comes a different holiday vibe. You can bag a cheap holiday here, or book something completely last-minute and have a 10/10 time either way, but let's break it down...

Spring (Apr–Jun) – warm, bright and peaceful. Perfect for beach walks, nature trails and exploring the marina before summer crowds arrive.
Summer (Jul–Aug) – hot, vibrant and full of energy, with long beach days, warm evenings and the full buzz of the Sani Resort scene.
Autumn (Sep–Oct) – still beautifully warm, with calm seas, soft breezes and a more relaxed feel ideal for couples and families alike.
Winter (Nov–Mar) – quiet, cool and mostly local. Many venues close for the season, so it’s not a typical holiday period in Halkidiki.

FAQs

You'll fly into Thessaloniki Airport (SKG), which is about 75km from Sani — roughly an hour's drive. The easiest option is to book a private transfer through us when you're building your package, so a driver meets you at arrivals and takes you straight to your hotel. Taxis from the airport rank cost around €100–105 each way. There's no direct bus from the airport to Sani, so a transfer or taxi is the way to go.

The Sani Resort hotels offer half-board and full-board packages rather than traditional all-inclusive. What makes it special is the dine-around programme — guests can eat at restaurants across all five Sani hotels (up to 25 options, with 24 in the dine-around programme), from Greek tavernas to Peruvian fusion, using their meal allowance. It's a more flexible, higher-end approach than a typical AI setup.

Brilliant for families. The beaches are calm and shallow, there are kids' clubs for every age group (crèche from 6 months, Explorers for 4–12s, Ozone Teen Club for 12–17s), and the resort has pools, playgrounds and activities to keep everyone happy. Sani Beach and Porto Sani are the most popular picks for families. Book kids' club places early though — they fill up fast.

Absolutely. Sani Dunes and Sani Asterias are particularly popular with couples — both have a more intimate, grown-up feel with spas, fine dining and beautifully designed rooms. The marina is gorgeous for evening strolls and sunset cocktails, and the Sani Festival adds a touch of culture to summer stays.

The resort is open roughly from late April to mid-October. Peak season is July and August — hot, buzzy and full of events including the Sani Festival. For the sweet spot of warm weather, fewer crowds and lower prices, aim for June or September. May and early October are lovely too, though the sea is cooler.

An annual open-air music and arts festival held every July and August on Sani Hill, overlooking the Aegean. It features jazz, classical, world music and theatre performances in a stunning natural setting. It's been running since 1992 and regularly attracts internationally renowned artists. Check the Sani Resort website for the lineup closer to your travel dates.

Catamaran cruising

Feel the Aegean breeze as you glide across the calm waters off the Kassandra coast — there's no better way to see Halkidiki than from the sea. Pop open the bubbly, soak up the sunshine and take in views you simply can't get from the beach. Cool off with a dip in the crystal-clear shallows, spot hidden coves along the coastline and top it all off with a sunset that'll have you reaching for your phone. Proper bucket-list stuff.

Get your walking boots on

Take in the stunning Sani surroundings with a walk along the Simantro Beach coastal path. Wander past white sand dunes and through pine-forested hills for a bird's-eye view of the impossibly clear Aegean below. Or explore the Sani Wetlands trail, where you might spot flamingos, herons and kingfishers in the resort's protected nature reserve. Either way, you've earned that refreshing swim at the end.

Marina meandering

The hub of this idyllic coastal town, Sani Marina attracts many with its rich fishing history, calming seafront views and elegant eateries. Stop off for a spot of afternoon tea at the patisserie with its fluffy home-baked cakes and gorgeous coffee, or enjoy an authentic Greek evening feast by the docked boats. No matter the time of day, this treasure of the town is sure to win over your heart.

Pampering paradise

Sani takes pampering seriously — the resort has five spas across its hotels, each with its own personality. Whether it's a Thai massage at the Sani Club spa, a couples' treatment with a private steam bath at Sani Dunes, or a signature Anne Semonin facial at Sani Asterias, there's no shortage of ways to switch off. You're on your jollies, after all.
