Family-friendly luxury by the beach

If you thought family-friendly hotels couldn’t be fancy, think again. The Grecotel Marine Palace and Aqua Park is not only luxurious and stylish, but it comes with heaps of activities for kids and grown-ups alike.

Water babies will be right at home here, as the hotel features five swimming spots, including a huge lagoon-style number, a beachfront pool, and a peaceful one fringed by palm trees. And three poolside bars mean you’ll never need to wander far for drinks and snacks. There’s also a splash-ready aqua park onsite – the Kingdom of Poseidon is home to record-breaking aqua towers, rides, and waterslides. A splash-zone with fountains, slides and tipping buckets will keep little ones busy, too.
