Best Naxos Family Hotels with Kids Clubs & Children's Facilities
5 family-friendly hotels with kids club in Naxos . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Five Naxos hotels where the kids facilities are real rather than a line on the website: children's playgrounds, babysitting on request, kids' meals, indoor play areas for the rare grey day. All are within 10 minutes of a calm sandy beach, mostly Agios Prokopios or Plaka on the gentle west coast, and all have family rooms that genuinely sleep four without a foldaway battle.
Naxos is the anti-Santorini of the Cyclades: no donkey crowds, no cliff-edge photo queues, no 400-euro dinners. The west coast is seven kilometres of continuous sand split into three resort villages (Agios Prokopios, Agia Anna, Plaka), the interior is walkable villages with goats and no cars, and Naxos Chora has a real town with pharmacies, ATMs and a Carrefour open on Sundays.
🧒Why Naxos works for a family beach holiday with young kids
Naxos airport is tiny but the runway sits right on the island, so no ferry-plus-hydrofoil gymnastics like some other Cyclades. The transfer to Agios Prokopios is 10 minutes, Plaka is 20 minutes. Athens-Naxos direct flights run May to October, other times you fly Athens then ferry 4 hours or 2 hours (Seajet).
Kids clubs on Naxos are typically run by 2 to 3 staff members in the afternoon (16h to 19h) and some hotels add morning sessions in July and August. Ages usually 4+ although Aegean Palace and a few others take 3-year-olds if toilet-trained. Sessions are free at all our picks.
Agios Prokopios and Plaka beaches have lifeguards in July and August, calm water and sand bottom rather than pebbles. Strong afternoon wind (meltemi) is real in August but affects kite surfers more than kids paddling; shelter is easy to find behind the tamarisk trees that fringe the sand.
Parent's take
The honest reason to pick Naxos over Crete or Rhodes for kids is scale: nothing is a 45-minute drive, hotels are small enough that staff remember your kid's name by day two, and the beaches don't require an expedition to find one that works for toddlers. The meltemi wind can be intense in August but afternoon beach sessions become evening pool sessions, which nobody minds.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Naxos with kids club, 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 — 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
€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 — unusual for a Cycladic hotel — which means actual run-around space rather than poured concrete.
From
€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
€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.

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 — 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
€242/night
Why families love Mikri Vigla Hotel Beach Resort
Mikri Vigla is a commitment — 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.
💡How to pick a Naxos hotel that actually looks after your children
- 1Book the hotel's airport transfer ahead: Naxos taxis at arrivals charge a flat 25 to 35 euros to Agios Prokopios with a car seat if you requested one, but in July and August they are often taken. A hotel transfer booked 48 hours ahead costs roughly the same and is guaranteed.
- 2Avoid Naxos Chora if you have a stroller: the old town is cobbled lanes with stairs. Stay at Agios Prokopios or Plaka where the promenade is flat and stroller-friendly, then take a 15-minute bus to Chora for a day trip.
- 3Pack water shoes: most Naxos beaches are sandy at the entry but have a stretch of pebbles near the waterline in July to September. Cheap plastic aqua shoes at Carrefour in Chora cost 8 euros if you forgot them.
- 4Book half-board if you have kids under 10: dining out in Chora with children runs 60 to 80 euros per night by the time you add drinks and a taxi back. Hotel half-board on Naxos averages 20 to 25 euros per adult and kids under 6 are usually free.
- 5The Portara sunset is the must-see of Naxos but it's on the other side of Chora from parking: go at 19h, walk the 800 metres, bring the stroller and snacks. The climb up to the ruin has no shade and is steep at the top, so stop halfway if needed.
