Best Family Hotels in Naxos with Beach Access
10 family-friendly hotels with beach access in Naxos . Handpicked for families who want the best.
If you want a Greek island where the sand is wide, the sea stays shallow for ages, and the hotel is a flip-flop walk from the water, Naxos delivers. The west coast (Agios Prokopios, Agios Georgios, Stelida) is one long ribbon of golden beach, and most of the family hotels here open straight onto it or sit a hundred metres back across a quiet road. We picked ten places where parents told us the sand-to-room transition actually works: showers outside, family rooms big enough for a travel cot, and a pool to fall back on for the windy afternoons that Naxos absolutely does have.
Naxos has the Cycladic look (whitewashed cubes, blue shutters) without the Santorini price tag, and a working town that doesn't shut down at 11pm. Chora, the main town, is walkable for kids: the Portara gateway at sunset, ice cream on the seafront, the kastro maze, then home. The west-coast beach strip is its own small world, with sun loungers, beach bars and shuttle buses to Chora.
ποΈWhy Naxos Beaches Work for Families
The sand on Naxos is the real reason families come back. Agios Prokopios beach is over a kilometre long, the gradient is shallow, and there's a natural sandbar that toddlers can stand on. Agios Georgios, attached to Naxos Town, is the calmest cove on the island, ankle-deep for ages, and parents can sit on the seafront with a coffee while older siblings paddle.
Stelida and Plaka are slightly windier, which is good if anyone in the family is trying windsurfing or wing foiling. Most family hotels rent sun loungers, paddle boards and snorkels on site. Lifeguards are present on the busier beaches in July and August, but you should not assume coverage outside those months.
Bring water shoes for the few rocky patches between sand sections, and pack a kite for the afternoon meltemi wind, which makes flying things genuinely fun and beach umbrellas absolutely necessary.
Parent's take
What we appreciate about Naxos for a beach week is the lack of pretense. Hotels are mid-sized, owners are usually on site, and nothing is so polished that you feel bad showing up sandy. Breakfast runs late, kids are welcome at every taverna, and the airport bus and ferry port are both close enough that travel days don't eat the holiday.
Our Top 10 Picks
Hotels in Naxos with beach access, sorted by guest rating.

Lianos Village
Agios Prokopios
Wonderful
341 reviews
Lianos Village sits on a low hill just back from Agios Prokopios beach, with the biggest pool in this part of the island β a proper 20-metre rectangle with a shallow kids' end and a poolside bar that serves grilled cheese and Greek salads all afternoon. Rooms face either the pool or the sea, both work.
From
β¬513/night
Why families love Lianos Village
This is the hotel every returning family recommends. The family rooms are actual two-room setups, not a sofa bed behind a curtain. The pool area has enough shade that afternoon burns are avoidable, and the 5-minute walk down to the beach is stroller-friendly. The breakfast is Greek-style, so expect fresh yogurt, honey, and eggs rather than pastries.

Naxos Green Village Hotel
Naxos Chora
Wonderful
1,538 reviews
Naxos Green Village Hotel is on the edge of Chora, a 10-minute walk to the castle and 8 minutes to the closest family beach at Grotta. The pool is set in a large walled garden with lawn space β unusual for a Cycladic hotel β which means actual run-around space rather than poured concrete.
From
β¬160/night
Why families love Naxos Green Village Hotel
This is the pick for families who want the main town more than the beach strip. Dinner is a 5-minute walk to the Chora seafront, and the hotel's own garden means breakfast outside on grass instead of paving. The pool is smaller than the resort-style ones down the coast but fine for one family at a time. Parking at the hotel is free, which matters on this side of the island.

Liana Beach Hotel & Spa
Agios Prokopios
Wonderful
217 reviews
Liana Beach Hotel & Spa sits at the quiet end of Agios Prokopios, right on the sand. The pool deck sits up high so the view is sea, beach, sea. Family suites have a separate kids' room with bunk beds and its own bathroom, and the spa is one of the better ones on the island for an end-of-week parent hour.
From
β¬693/night
Why families love Liana Beach Hotel & Spa
The location is the value here. Step off the pool deck, cross 15 metres of hotel path, and you're on the beach. No road crossing. The pool is heated in shoulder season which matters in May or late September. Breakfast is a proper buffet with made-to-order eggs, and the kids' menu at lunch is priced half the adult menu with actual child portions.

Finikas Hotel
Aliko Beach
Excellent
303 reviews
Finikas Hotel sits at Aliko Beach in the quieter south of Naxos, on a pine-forested headland that stays cool when Agios Prokopios is baking. The outdoor pool has a separate children's section with jets, and the property has its own garden path down to a small sandy cove.
From
β¬217/night
Why families love Finikas Hotel
This is the answer for families who find Agios Prokopios too built-up. You swim, eat at the hotel taverna, nap, swim again β that's the rhythm for a week. The one catch: it's 25 minutes by car to Chora for proper dinner variety, so rent a car or commit to eating on-site all week. The pine forest means the kids' room is actually cool enough to nap in without AC.

Mikri Vigla Hotel Beach Resort
Mikri Vigla
Excellent
125 reviews
Mikri Vigla Hotel Beach Resort is on the west coast at Mikri Vigla beach, famous for windsurfing but also for its quieter south end where the family hotels sit. The pool area is large, with a separate paddling pool and a poolside terrace for breakfast. Most rooms have a sea-facing balcony.
From
β¬242/night
Why families love Mikri Vigla Hotel Beach Resort
Mikri Vigla is a commitment β it's a 25-minute drive to Chora and the roads are narrow. But if your kids love beach time with actual surf (the north end of the beach) while you want calm water (the south end), this is the rare place that does both. The hotel organises windsurf lessons for teenagers, which is a genuine selling point if you have one.

Katerina Hotel
Agios Prokopios
Excellent
410 reviews
A quiet three-star family-run hotel a ten-minute walk from Agios Prokopios beach. Family rooms include a small kitchenette, and there is a step-free ground-floor option useful with a stroller.
From
β¬130/night
Why families love Katerina Hotel
This is the budget pick that parents keep recommending. The owners genuinely like kids, the breakfast is enormous, and the kitchenette in the family room means you can stash yoghurts and snacks for the beach. The walk to the sand goes through a residential lane (no main road), which is the kind of thing you only notice when you have a four-year-old wandering ahead.

Naxos Magic Village
Stelida
Excellent
520 reviews
Three-star village-style complex on the Stelida hillside, a ten-minute downhill walk to Agios Prokopios beach. Free shuttle to Naxos Town runs three times a day.
From
β¬150/night
Why families love Naxos Magic Village
Stelida is the slightly elevated district above the beach strip, which means cooler nights and a sea view from the balcony. The shuttle to town matters because the walk back uphill from the beach with tired kids in tow is no joke at four in the afternoon. Family rooms have proper space and a small terrace, the on-site restaurant is honest Greek, and the sunset from the pool deck is the kind of thing you take a picture of and immediately delete because no photo does it justice.

Alkyoni Beach Hotel
Agios Georgios beach, Naxos Town
Excellent
720 reviews
A four-star Cycladic-style hotel right on Agios Georgios beach, a flat ten-minute walk from Naxos Town. Family rooms open onto a quiet pool deck, and the soft sand outside the gate is shallow for the first thirty metres.
From
β¬240/night
Why families love Alkyoni Beach Hotel
Parents told us this is the easiest base if you want both town life and beach life from the same room. The hotel rents loungers on the beach in front, the pool is a calm fallback when the wind picks up, and the breakfast buffet runs late enough for slow toddler mornings. The road behind the hotel is residential, not a main road, which surprised us in a good way.

Naxos Resort
St George Beach, Naxos Chora
Excellent
950 reviews
Four-star resort on Agios Georgios beach with two outdoor pools and direct sand access from the garden. Family rooms have balconies, and the seafront promenade leads straight to Naxos Old Town in twelve minutes.
From
β¬260/night
Why families love Naxos Resort
Two pools is the line that catches your eye on the listing, and it does matter when one fills up with teen swimmers in the afternoon. Parents like that the beach is right there from the lawn, no road to cross, and the on-site restaurant does kid-portion souvlaki without making a thing of it. The fitness centre is small but useable for a quick morning run while kids sleep.

Kavuras Village Hotel & Suites
Agios Prokopios
Excellent
580 reviews
Whitewashed village-style hotel a five-minute walk from Agios Prokopios beach, the longest sandy stretch on Naxos. Family suites sleep four, and the central pool is shallow at one end.
From
β¬210/night
Why families love Kavuras Village Hotel & Suites
Families with two kids tell us the suites are the selling point here. You get a separate bedroom and a sofa bed, the small terrace works for late-evening adult time once kids are down, and the walk to the beach is short enough that you can do it twice a day without anyone complaining. The walk goes through a quiet residential block, not a main road.
π‘Practical Tips for Beach Holidays in Naxos
- 1Book a hotel on Agios Prokopios or Agios Georgios beach if your kids are under five. The water stays knee-deep for a long way and the wind is usually lighter on the south-facing strip than further north.
- 2Bring water shoes for everyone in the family. Most Naxos beaches are sandy but you will hit small rocky patches near the breakwaters and around the headlands at Stelida and Plaka.
- 3Rent a car for at least three days of your stay. The wild east-coast beaches (Moutsouna, Apollonas) are reachable in under an hour, and the mountain villages (Chalki, Apiranthos) make a great rainy-day backup.
- 4Pick a hotel with both a pool and beach access. The meltemi wind sometimes blows for two or three days in July and August, and a sheltered pool is the difference between a good afternoon and a tantrum.
- 5Take the ferry from Athens (Piraeus) only if your kids handle five hours afloat. Otherwise fly directly to Naxos airport or via Mykonos, which is a thirty-minute hop and far less tiring with toddlers.
