Reviews of the Best Hotels in Zakynthos

I carefully selected all of the best and fanciest luxury hotels on the island, and I hope you will find what you need most. As you will quickly realize, not all of them have the same advantages such as location or facilities, but they are all great choices for your next trip to the Cyclades, trust me.

First of all, let’s list the best hotels by category, before diving into the list of the best of the rest.

The BEST Luxury Hotel in Zakynthos: Contessina Hotel

• Spacious rooms
• Lots of facilities
• Modern interior

To be honest, if I were you, I’d also be tired of browsing all across the Internet to find the best luxury hotel in Zante. So, if you want to save yourself a headache, just pick the Contessina Hotel. This is by far my personal favorite luxury hotel on the island, and I can do nothing but recommend it to you.

This stunning 5-star hotel has absolutely anything you could ever ask for, from an outstanding outdoor swimming pool area and beautiful architecture to a spotlessly clean, very spacious, and tidy room.

On top of all of this, you will love staying in this very peaceful resort, which is still located right next to a lively city. There, you will find plenty of activities for you to try. As a little side note, I’ve heard that the cocktails by the poolside are very, very good, so you should definitely try them out!

Runner Up: Ionian Hill Hotel

• Paradisiac scenery
• Incredible views
• Very modern

Despite being the runner-up on this list of the best luxury hotels in Zante, the Ionian Hill Hotel is honestly just as great of a pick as the Contessina Hotel: actually, if it were available more often, I would have for sure chosen it as my #1 favorite pick. However, if you can book it, do it right away!

This wonderful 4-star luxury hotel has everything you need! Not only does it have an incredible outdoor swimming pool with breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea, but its interior has nothing to be ashamed of, considering how tastefully decorated and modernly furnished it is. Also, the service is perfect and the staff is great, and the hotel as a whole is situated in a dreamy area.

Even better than all of this, the rooms are very spacious, have modern furniture and are well-equipped, should you need anything. Everything inside is spotless and tidy, and I seriously advise booking this accommodation if you are traveling off-season, as it is much more affordable and available then.

Best Zante Luxury Hotel for Families: Emerald Villas

• Perfect for sunrises
• Calm location
• Amazing views

There are for sure a lot of travelers going on a trip on a tight budget, but there are also others who really want to spend a comfortable and memorable trip in Zante, and I can completely understand them, especially when they are with a group of friends or as a family. For you, who want a comfy accommodation, I give you the Emerald Villas, an outstanding luxury hotel.

Although there are many reasons for anyone to love these villas, the best of them is for sure their view: from the comfort of your private swimming pool, you will be able to gaze at the marvelous sunsets (or sunrises for the early birds!) of the Cyclades, starting your day in an idyllic scenery and witnessing nature’s best every time.

All in all, if you want a great place to rest with your loved ones, the Emerald Villas are your go-to choice. Considering how calm they are, how responsive and understanding the staff is, and how everything is modern, spotlessly clean, and fully equipped, you’ll love your stay there.

Best 5 Star Hotel in Zakynthos: Contessina Suites & Spa – Adults Only

• Most comfortable
• Impeccable design
• Tasty food

Contessina? Again? Well, yeah, these hotels are simply fantastic! If you are looking for picture-perfect 5 star hotels in Zakynthos, this place is your best bet. Because it is for adults only, you can’t bring your young children with you obviously, but those who travel without kids will enjoy a peaceful stay for sure!

These suites have everything you could ask for, from a marvelous interior design to top-notch service. To be honest, I think it has my favorite interior design out of all of the luxury hotels on this list, and that says a lot, considering the many fantastic options you have here!

On the whole, if you pick this hotel for your stay in Zante, you will love the on-site restaurants, swimming pool, and bars, as well as the spa. There are also spacious rooms, tasty breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, as well as taxi booking services. Frankly, an easy 10 out of 10.

More of the Best Luxury Hotels Zakynthos Has to Offer

While the hotels listed above are truly the very best Zante luxury hotels for each of the specific categories listed, they’re far from being the only great options.

Let’s see 8 more for you to choose from.

Domes Aulūs Zante

• Very comfortable
• Perfect staff service
• Picture-perfect

Domes Aulūs Zante is for sure one of the best luxury hotels on the entire island, especially for families. Although it’s not on any of my #1 spot, it is still an incredible choice, especially for families: it has playgrounds for children, a nursery for babies, and is overall rated 9.3 out of 10 by families for a stay with kids.

I’m sure it will fit anyone’s needs though, as it is for eco-friendly travelers, which is always one big plus (and I wish more hotels would do that). If you want a trip with a smaller carbon footprint, then Domes Aulūs Zante is a great option for you: stepping away from the internet and worldwide hyperconnectivity is always a great thing, especially during your vacations, which are supposed to be relaxing.

Also, the staff is lovely and will help you with any questions you might have! There is also a primed spa if you need more reasons to love this place.

The Bay Hotel & Suites

• Furnished poolside
• Modern furnishings
• Surrounded by gardens

The Bay Hotel & Suites also have all you need for a luxurious and comfortable trip to Zante thanks to their magnificent swimming pool area where you will find loungers and parasols, their satellite TV, fridge, and air-conditioning units in each room; believe me, these are very useful in such a warm region as Greece.

If you decide to pick this accommodation, you will be able to eat from not one but two restaurants, one of them being outdoor and the other indoor, and you will find a buffet-style breakfast waiting for you each morning. Plus, the on-site bar serves snacks, coffee, and drinks throughout the whole day.

The thing I love most about The Bay Hotel & Suites has to be its location: situated in a very calm and dreamy scenery, you will love being surrounded by gardens and staring at the deep blue sea while basking in the sun.

Lesante Blu, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World – Adults Only

• Fantastic service

• Tasty breakfast

For those of you who are looking for the most pleasant services, and who want to be treated like a movie star during your getaway on the Cyclades islands, you should book a room in Lesante Blu, a jaw-dropping 5-star hotel filled with everything you could ask for.

What I personally love most about this accommodation is its great staff. They will help you at any time, with anything, and very fast, so you only have to focus on spending a great stay in Zante.

Venus Resort

• Comfortable beds
• On the beachfront
• Incredible staff

Despite being ranked somewhat late into this list, the Venus Resort is a perfect pick for a luxury hotel in Zante. If you like the beach, you are in for a treat, as you can’t get any closer to it than in this resort, in which you can even eat on the sand!

Plus, the sunny, wide terrace with breathtaking views of the sea is absolutely lovely, and the interior of the hotel is very nicely decorated.

In case you need it, the Venus Resort will provide you with car rental services for you to explore the surrounding areas, such as beaches, various monuments, museums, and general hotspots. For the most adventurous of travelers out there, who are tired of sitting around at the beach, you could have a great time driving around the whole island of Zante, as it is a very peaceful activity since most people stay by the seaside.

Lesante Classic is another great luxury hotel in Zante. It is located in Tsilivi, on the main street, and has a fantastic outdoor swimming pool, where there are small islets scattered across the water, on which palm trees are planted! Simply lovely.

Believe it or not, that’s not my favorite thing about this hotel: actually, its restaurant takes it all. There, you will eat fresh and local products, with a wide range of options, and you can eat there thrice a day if you so desire.

Trust me, there are many good reasons for you and me to absolutely love this place: bathrooms are very large, beds are comfy and wide, food is traditional, warm, and tasty and the staff is great. Basically, every little detail is designed to make you feel like you’re living the dream.

In conclusion, this beautiful 4-star hotel has its own cozy atmosphere, is modernly furnished, is spotlessly clean, and will satisfy anyone’s needs, I’m pretty sure.
