The BEST Resort in Zante for Families: Contessina Hotel

• Spacious rooms
• Modern interior
• Lots of facilities

If you are tired of browsing across all the Internet to find the best accommodation for your next stay with your loved ones in Zante or simply cannot decide which one to pick, let me save you some time: go for Contessina Hotel!

This wonderful 5-star accommodation will provide you and your family with anything you could wish for: not only is its swimming pool and its overall exterior fantastic, but you will all love the interior even more, as each room is very spacious, clean and tidy.

On top of all of that, the resort is overall very peaceful but still situated right next to a lively city, in which you can try any of the multitudes of activities you can find there. Besides, for parents and young adults, the on-site bar by the pool is well-known for its cocktails!

Runner Up: Venus Resort

• Comfortable beds
• Incredible staff
• Beachfront

If Contessina Hotel is already full for the dates of your trip or you would like another option, let me offer you Venus Resort. I’m convinced you won’t find anything closer to the beach than this perfect resort, in which you can even eat on the sandy beach!

Plus, you and your loved ones will for sure enjoy the wide, sunny terrace that gazes at the sea, as well as the stylishly-decorated interior of the accommodation.

Just in case, let me tell you that the Venus Resort even offers car rental services: this will be very useful for you to explore the surrounding areas, which includes various points of interest such as several monuments, pristine sand beaches, and museums. If you are feeling adventurous and want to see something else than the beach, you could even drive around the island and explore the wilderness of Zante: it is a pretty peaceful and very underrated activity that all of you will love.

Best Budget Resort for Families in Zante: Village Inn Studios & Family Apartments

• Best value for money
• Good location
• Swimming pool

Because finding a decent, spacious, and comfortable resort in a bustling area such as Zante is so annoying and difficult, let me help you save your energy by advising you to just pick the Village Inn Studios & Family Apartments.

While they are for sure a budget pick, these studios and apartments don’t lack anything, as they have their very own swimming pool with an on-site bar next to it, and each and every one of their rooms has a view of the pool or the verdant garden. Plus, it is perfectly located on an active street with lots of cafés, bars, and restaurants for everyone to enjoy.

However, if you don’t want to spend time in busy areas and would rather explore unique places, or spend a relaxing time in the Cyclades, the famous port of Zante and the rest of the city are only located 10 km / 6 mi away from the accommodation.

More of the Best Zante Resorts for Families

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

Let’s see 9 more for you to choose from.

Lesante Classic, a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts

• Large swimming pool
• Tasty meals
• Good value for money

Another great accommodation for families is Lesante Classic. Situated in the village of Tsilivi, on the main street, it has an absolutely stunning outdoor swimming pool, within which there are palm trees planted on small islets: definitely one of the most beautiful swimming pool areas in all of Zante, and a good enough reason for you and your family to pick it.

Despite this, that is not what I love most about this place, but it is actually its restaurant. There, you will be able to try the wonderful Greek cuisine, from breakfast to dinner, and all dishes are made with fresh and local products; there is also a wide range of choices.

Finally, the staff here is uniquely caring and helpful, and they will help you with anything you need, very efficiently. All in all, you will definitely spend a comfortable stay with your loved ones if you decide to pick this place.

Poseidon Beach Hotel

• Great location
• Activities for kids
• Free sunbeds and umbrellas

The location of the Poseidon Beach Hotel is absolutely fantastic, being situated only 500 m / 1,640 ft away from the beating heart of Laganas Town. Besides, it boasts a stunning outdoor swimming pool (with even a smaller one for children), surrounded by umbrellas and sunbeds, both of them being free… except the ones on the beach! Because yes, as the name of the hotel implies, there is a beach next to it!

This resort is a particularly great pick for families, as there is a playground, and tables for table tennis and billiards, which is perfect for every kid.

All in all, the Poseidon Beach Hotel will satisfy anyone’s needs, as it offers varied activities, and is situated right next to shops, taverns, and bars, as well as a mini-market; not very surprising that families rate it a solid 9.5 out of 10 for a stay with kids!

Club Zante Plaza

• Very clean
• Perfect for partying
• Outdoor swimming pool

In case you are one of those families without young kids but rather with young (or not-so-young) adults, you will definitely love Club Zante Plaza.

While some travelers enjoy walking to bars, clubs, and restaurants, finding hidden gems, or exploring the city, others love to have everything available right from the comfort of their own hotel, and Club Zante Plaza is a fantastic choice for partying. I decided to include this resort on the list because some families love to party or simply enjoy the action and the animation around them, although I know it is not for everyone.

This hotel has a great staff that is kind and caring and will guide you throughout your days. You will also find themed parties and will thus be able to explore different atmospheres, on top of trying the tasty food and drinks at the restaurant.

Also, there are plenty of activities to try close by, and since Club Zante Plaza is ideally situated on a busy street with tons of restaurants and bars, it’s the way to go.

Dali

• Panoramic views
• By the seaside
• Good location

Again, I am aware that Dali isn’t for every family, as it is a pretty lively hotel, but if you want to try many activities and are a dynamic group, you will absolutely love it.

That’s not all there is to this hotel though, so don’t worry. It offers fantastic panoramic views of the marina of Zante and the rest of the sea, and it is overall modern and tastefully decorated, and will make sure you feel welcomed on the Greek island.

Situated right by the seaside, the Dali Hotel is only a couple of minutes away from the beach. Depending on which room you decide to book, you can gaze at the mountains or overlook the turquoise waters of Zante, but both are great options.

Besides, the location is also great, situated right next to the heart of Zante Town. You will thus find lots of bars and restaurants nearby, as well as plenty of activities such as museums, the harbor, or beautiful, natural landscapes if you decide so.

Exotica Hotel & Spa by Zante Plaza

• Big and clean swimming pool
• Very calm area
• Tasty food

For your next trip to Zante with your loved ones, the Exotica Hotel & Spa by Zante Plaza is another great pick. Honestly, it could also be a lovely place to stay even if you aren’t traveling as a group, as there are tons of rooms with different sizes.

This hotel can definitely be proud of its staff, as it will help you with anything you need, very quickly, and they are all very helpful and polite. Even more, the food at this place is varied and particularly tasty, which will allow you to try the best of Greece’s cuisine, even for a potentially short stay.

All of the rooms of the Exotica Hotel & Spa are situated right next to a beautiful swimming pool area, which is surrounded by umbrellas and loungers and is overall wide and clean, and the accommodation as a whole is relaxing and very calm.

Diana Palace Hotel

• Breakfast + lunch or dinner included
• Good location
• Play areas

If you don’t want to waste time looking for the best restaurant in the vicinity, ask everyone in the family if they are fine with it, compare all the best options, and finally make a decision, then I’d recommend booking the Diana Palace Hotel, where breakfast and lunch or dinner are included, which is a perfect way to sort things out.

On top of offering meals, this hotel is ideally located, right next to the beach, and about 3 km / 1.9 mi away from Zante Town.

There are also several playground areas for adults and kids, both indoor and outdoor, which I just know all of you will love, so go ahead and enjoy your stay!

Hotel Palmyra

• Fully renovated
• Rooftop restaurant
• Perfect for excursions

If you and your loved ones are adventurers and want to explore the wilderness of Zante, Hotel Palmyra is a perfect pick. It is located in Argassi and will make a perfect base for your excursions, from famous Shipwreck Beach (officially Navagio Beach, but nicknamed this way because of the abandoned ship still lying there to this day) to hikes and bike rides.

When it comes to the hotel itself, it also has everything you need as a family: the atmosphere is overall peaceful, there is an on-site swimming pool and, most importantly, a rooftop bar-restaurant from which you can enjoy the traditional Greek cuisine in all its glory.

Also, Hotel Palmyra was recently fully renovated and will offer comfort and modernism for your next stay in Zante.

Domes Aulūs Zante

• Perfect staff service
• Very comfortable
• Spaces for kids

This place is for sure one of the best Zante resorts for families. You will find playgrounds for young kids, a nursery for very young kids, and it is overall well-rated by families, who gave it a 9.3 out of 10 for a stay with kids.

Even better, this resort is made for slow travelers (meaning those who want to relax, focus on themselves, enjoy a peaceful stay, and step back from social media and the internet in general), as well as eco-conscious travelers, and a lot of families will enjoy that and will want their trip to be as eco-friendly as possible.

Plus, the staff is very lovely and will help you with any question you might have, and there is even a premium spa for all of you to relax in.

The Bay Hotel & Suites

• Modern furnishings
• Furnished poolside
• Surrounded by gardens

Last but definitely not least, The Bay Hotel & Suites also have all you need for a family trip to Zante: there is a fantastic swimming pool area, furnished with parasols and loungers, as well as a fridge, air-conditioning units and a satellite TV in each room.

In this accommodation, you will be surprised to know that there is not one, but two on-site restaurants, one indoor and the other one outdoor. There, you will taste a great buffet-style breakfast each morning, while the on-site bar will serve you coffee, drinks, and other snacks during the entire day.

What I love most about it is something even different though: it is situated in a relaxing, peaceful and dreamy scenery: surrounded by verdant gardens, basking in the sun and staring at the deep blue sea, you will love your relaxing stay in the resort.

What Makes A Great Resort for a Family?

In my opinion, families are mostly looking for a peaceful place with spacious rooms.

Parents will need a swimming pool, the beach or some area to relax in, while kids will be looking forward to having good Internet, as well as lots of facilities and activities. (Btw, if Internet access is a concern for you, read this post to choose the right sim card in Greece for staying connected). 

If you are looking for a resort for your family, not only in Zante but also anywhere on the planet, you should definitely look for something with activities, peacefulness, and enough space!
