Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
We prioritise five-star hotels and resorts alongside well-regarded boutique addresses with a documented record of strong guest satisfaction. Scores on leading platforms typically fall in the very good to excellent range, reflecting an average in the high eights on a ten-point scale.
What sets each property apart
The selection highlights hotels with particular strengths: beachfront positions with a dedicated beach area and full service, suites with private pools or hot tubs, award-winning spa treatments, accomplished dining across multiple restaurant concepts and access to experiences such as private boats or yachts, wine tastings, sunrise yoga and discreet VIP arrangements.
Location and surroundings
We've balanced seclusion with accessibility: addresses in quieter coves for maximum peace alongside hotels with easy access to Skiathos Town for shopping and evening strolls. A short transfer from the airport or port is a clear advantage, and several hotels have their own jetty or water taxi service.

Skiathos Town, with its charming lanes, busy harbour and the Bourtzi peninsula, is not to be missed. The beaches at Koukounaries and Lalaria are iconic. For history and views, the ruins of Kastro — the island's former capital — are well worth the trip. The monastery of Evangelistria offers a peaceful retreat and a genuine sense of the island's religious heritage. And beyond the well-known spots, many of the smaller coves along the coast are equally rewarding.
