Best Family Hotels in Greece at a Glance

Here’s a quick comparison before we look at each hotel in more detail.

15 Best Family Hotels in Greece

There’s no single best hotel for every family. A resort that’s brilliant for a seven-year-old who loves waterslides may not be the hotel you’d choose with a baby or teenager. We’ve therefore included a mixture of resorts rather than simply picking 15 similar luxury hotels.

1. Atlantica Aegean Blue – Rhodes

Best for: Waterpark-loving families

Atlantica Aegean Blue is one to consider if keeping the children entertained is near the top of your holiday wish list. Its family-resort format makes it particularly appealing for parents who want plenty happening around the hotel rather than having to organise an excursion every day.

Rhodes is also one of our favourite Greek islands for a straightforward family holiday, combining beaches and resort areas with plenty to explore away from the pool.

2. Amada Colossos Resort – Rhodes

Best for: A full resort-style family holiday

Another strong Rhodes option, Amada Colossos Resort suits families who like the convenience of having their accommodation, pools, food and entertainment centred around one substantial resort.

It’s worth comparing this directly with Atlantica Aegean Blue. The right choice will depend on your children’s ages and whether your priority is waterpark-style fun, beach time or a more rounded resort experience.

3. Stella Palace Aqua Park Resort – Crete

Best for: Families who want a waterpark hotel

If the pool and waterpark are likely to be as important as the destination itself, Stella Palace deserves a place on your shortlist. It’s the kind of resort where families can spend plenty of their holiday enjoying the hotel rather than needing to leave every day to find entertainment.

4. Fodele Beach & Water Park Holiday Resort – Crete

Best for: Active family holidays

Fodele Beach & Water Park Holiday Resort is another Crete option for families who don’t want a quiet hotel with little for the children to do.

It’s particularly worth comparing with Stella Palace if a waterpark is high on your list. Rather than choosing purely on hotel rating, compare room types, location, meal arrangements and facilities for the exact ages of your children.

5. Lyttos Beach – Crete

Best for: Active and sporty families

Lyttos Beach is another name worth knowing when comparing family hotels in Crete. It can be a good fit for families who like a busy resort atmosphere and want plenty of options rather than simply a pool and a room.

Crete’s size is also an advantage if you enjoy exploring. Hiring a car can make it much easier to combine resort days with beaches, towns and other parts of the island.

6. Daios Cove – Crete

Best for: A luxury family escape

Daios Cove offers a different proposition from Crete’s big waterpark resorts. Put this one on the shortlist if the adults want a more luxurious feel without automatically ruling out travelling as a family.

It’s a useful reminder that choosing a family hotel doesn’t have to mean choosing somewhere designed entirely around children’s entertainment.

7. Ikos Dassia – Corfu

Best for: Luxury all-inclusive family holidays

Ikos Dassia is one to compare if you’re prepared to spend more for an upscale resort experience while retaining the convenience families often want from an all-inclusive holiday.

Corfu itself works particularly well for families who want attractive scenery, beaches and opportunities to explore beyond the hotel.

8. Grecotel LUXME Daphnila Bay – Corfu

Best for: A beachfront Corfu family holiday

Grecotel LUXME Daphnila Bay gives families another alternative in Corfu and is worth comparing with Ikos Dassia rather than assuming the most expensive option will automatically suit you best.

Look carefully at the room category as well as the headline hotel price. For families, the difference between a room that merely sleeps everyone and one that gives you genuinely useful space can be considerable.

9. Grecotel LUXME Costa Botanica – Corfu

Best for: A relaxed Corfu resort holiday

Grecotel LUXME Costa Botanica provides another family-friendly option on Corfu and gives us three very different Corfu hotels to compare.

If you’re travelling during the main UK school summer holidays, compare prices early. Greece is extremely seasonal and the room types that work best for families can disappear before standard double rooms do.

10. Ikos Aria – Kos

Best for: Luxury all-inclusive

Ikos Aria is one of the hotels we’d compare when looking for a premium family holiday in Kos. It suits families who want high-end surroundings but still value the simplicity of having much of the holiday organised around one resort.

11. Blue Lagoon Resort – Kos

Best for: Families who love pool days

Blue Lagoon Resort is another Kos hotel to compare if the children are happiest spending a large part of the holiday in and around the pool.

Kos is relatively easy to combine with days outside the resort too, so you don’t necessarily have to choose between a hotel-focused holiday and seeing more of the island.

12. Atlantica Porto Bello Beach – Kos

Best for: Beach and family fun

Atlantica Porto Bello Beach rounds out our Kos selection and is another hotel worth putting into a side-by-side comparison before booking.

With family hotels, we’d always check recent reviews from travellers with children of a similar age to yours. A resort can be excellent for younger children but feel completely different to a family travelling with teenagers.

13. Sani Beach – Halkidiki

Best for: A premium family holiday

Not every great Greek family hotel is on an island. Sani Beach in Halkidiki is worth considering if you’re looking for a premium resort experience on mainland Greece.

Halkidiki can sometimes be overlooked by families automatically searching Rhodes, Crete or Corfu, which is exactly why we’d include it in a Greece-wide hotel comparison.

14. TUI BLUE Lagoon Princess – Halkidiki

Best for: A classic family resort holiday

TUI BLUE Lagoon Princess gives families another reason to include Halkidiki in their search rather than restricting themselves to the Greek islands.

Compare the total holiday price for your dates, including flights and transfers, because the hotel with the cheapest room rate isn’t necessarily the cheapest overall family holiday.

15. Skiathos Princess Resort – Skiathos

Best for: A Greek island beach escape

Skiathos Princess Resort is our final choice and gives families an alternative to the much larger resorts found on some of Greece’s better-known family islands.

Skiathos is particularly appealing if the beach and Greek-island atmosphere matter just as much as having a long list of facilities inside the hotel.

Which Greek Island Is Best for a Family Hotel?

The hotel matters, but so does the destination. Picking the right Greek island can make just as much difference to your holiday.

Rhodes

A strong all-round choice for families who want beaches, resort hotels and plenty to see away from the pool. Rhodes works particularly well when you want a mixture of easy resort days and family days out.

Crete

Crete gives you a huge choice of accommodation and is particularly strong for larger family resorts. Because it’s Greece’s largest island, there’s also far more to explore if you hire a car.

Corfu

Corfu is a good choice for families who value beautiful scenery and beaches as well as a strong selection of family-friendly hotels.

Kos

Kos can work brilliantly for an uncomplicated family sunshine holiday. Its manageable size also makes exploring away from your hotel relatively straightforward.

Halkidiki

Halkidiki is worth considering if you want beautiful beaches and high-quality resorts without necessarily choosing a Greek island.

Still undecided? Our full Greece Family Holidays guide compares the different destinations in more detail.

Best Family Hotels in Greece for Waterparks

If waterslides are non-negotiable, we’d start by comparing Stella Palace Aqua Park Resort, Fodele Beach & Water Park Holiday Resort and Atlantica Aegean Blue.

Before booking, always check which attractions and pools will be operating during your travel dates and whether any slides or activities have age or height restrictions.

Best Luxury Family Hotels in Greece

Families looking for something more luxurious should compare Ikos Aria, Ikos Dassia, Daios Cove and Sani Beach.

The important thing is to decide what luxury means to your family. For some, it’s exceptional food and service; for others, it’s having enough activities to keep the children happy while the adults actually get time to relax.

Best Greek Family Hotels for Toddlers and Younger Children

When travelling with toddlers, we’d prioritise completely different things from a holiday with teenagers. Look closely at transfer time, shallow or child-friendly pools, room layout, easy meal options, shade and how far you’ll need to walk around the resort.

Don’t choose purely because a hotel markets itself as “family friendly”. Check whether its facilities actually suit the age of your children.

Best Greek Hotels for Families with Teenagers

Teenagers can be harder to please than younger children. A small playground and children’s pool probably aren’t going to cut it.

For older children, we’d place more importance on larger pools, sports, watersports, activities, Wi-Fi, nearby places to explore and enough independence within the resort. Larger resorts such as Lyttos Beach are therefore particularly worth investigating.

Should You Hire a Car in Greece with Kids?

You don’t necessarily need a hire car if you’re planning an all-inclusive resort holiday, but having one can completely change the experience if you want to discover quieter beaches, villages and attractions away from your hotel.

It’s particularly useful on larger islands such as Crete. Compare the total cost with organised excursions and transfers before deciding.

How to Choose the Best Family Hotel in Greece

Before booking, we’d compare more than star ratings. Think about the age of your children, transfer time, beach access, pool facilities, room layout, meal plan and what you’ll actually want to do during the holiday.

A family planning to spend seven days around a waterpark has completely different requirements from one that intends to hire a car and explore the island every day.

We’d also check recent guest reviews before booking. Hotel facilities, entertainment programmes and restaurant arrangements can change, so verify anything that’s particularly important to your family directly with the hotel or booking provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which part of Greece is best for families?

Rhodes, Crete, Corfu and Kos are all popular choices for family holidays, but the best destination depends on the type of trip you want. Crete offers huge variety, Rhodes combines resorts with plenty to explore, Corfu is known for its scenery and Kos can be particularly easy to get around.

What are the best family hotels in Greece with waterparks?

Stella Palace Aqua Park Resort and Fodele Beach & Water Park Holiday Resort in Crete, together with Atlantica Aegean Blue in Rhodes, are among the hotels we’d compare first for a waterpark-focused family holiday.

Is Greece good for an all-inclusive family holiday?

Yes. Greece has a large selection of family-focused all-inclusive resorts, ranging from big activity-led properties to luxury options. Always check exactly what’s included for your dates before comparing prices.

Which Greek island is best with young children?

There isn’t one island that’s automatically best for every young family. We’d pay particular attention to the resort location, airport transfer, beach conditions, room configuration and facilities for your child’s age rather than choosing the island on reputation alone.

Is Crete or Rhodes better for families?

Both can work extremely well. Crete is much larger and offers enormous variety, while Rhodes can be easier to approach as a more compact family holiday destination. Your hotel choice and preferred activities are likely to matter more than choosing one island simply because it’s considered more family friendly.

When is the best time for a family holiday to Greece?

The main summer season offers the warmest beach-holiday conditions but also coincides with peak demand. Families who aren’t tied to school holidays may find late spring and early autumn attractive, although weather and seasonal facilities vary by destination and date.

Our Verdict on the Best Family Hotels in Greece

Greece has such a wide range of family hotels that we’d avoid looking for one universal “best” resort. Instead, narrow the choice according to what matters most to your family.

For waterpark fun, start with Stella Palace, Fodele Beach and Atlantica Aegean Blue. For a luxury all-inclusive experience, compare Ikos Aria and Ikos Dassia. And if you’d prefer a premium family escape where the hotel isn’t centred entirely around children’s attractions, Daios Cove and Sani Beach are well worth investigating.

Whichever hotel you choose, compare current prices, room options and recent reviews before booking — particularly if you’re travelling during the UK school holidays.
