Best Family Hotels in Naxos with Swimming Pools
14 family-friendly hotels with swimming pool in Naxos . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Naxos has the best beach on any Cycladic island. That's the short answer. But if you've done Greek islands with kids before, you know the beach is only half the story. The meltemi wind blows hard from June to early September, especially on the west coast, and a beach day can turn into a face full of sand by 2pm. Every good family hotel here has a pool for exactly that reason. The ones on this page all have heated outdoor pools, most with a shallow end kids can stand in, and enough lounger space that you don't need to towel-block at 7am.
Naxos is a real island with real Greek families still farming the interior, not a Santorini-style postcard. Chora (the main town) has narrow streets, a Venetian castle on the hill, and a waterfront where everyone walks in the evening. The beach strip runs south from Agios Prokopios through Agia Anna to Plaka — gentle sand, shallow water, taverna after taverna.

🏊Why a Pool Matters on Naxos
The geography is why pools matter here. Most family hotels sit 50 to 300 metres inland from the beach, up a slight rise, which means the beach-side afternoons get windy around 2pm when the meltemi kicks in. A pool gives you somewhere to retreat without giving up the outdoors. Every 3-star-plus hotel on the Agios Prokopios strip has at least one outdoor pool, and the better ones have a separate small pool for toddlers with bubbles or a fountain.
The second reason is morning routine. Naxos dinner culture runs late — 9pm is normal — which means your kids are up at 10am. A pool at the hotel means they're in the water from breakfast onwards without you having to pack a beach bag and trek across a road. By 11am you walk down to the beach if you still want to. This rhythm, not the sightseeing, is what makes a week on Naxos feel restful.
Parent's take
Honest tradeoff: Naxos pool hotels are not resort-style. Don't expect kids' clubs, supervised activities, or splash parks. They're small family-run places with a pool, a restaurant, and friendly owners. That's the charm. If you want structured entertainment, Crete or Rhodes is the better call.
Our Top 14 Picks
Hotels in Naxos with swimming pool, sorted by guest rating.

Ostria Inn
Moutsouna, Moutsouna Naxos, 84302, Greece
Wonderful
100 reviews
A small family-run inn on the quiet east coast of Naxos, eight rooms above a taverna 30 metres from a sheltered cove. Travel cots, highchairs and bottle warmers are all in stock. The owner's grandmother cooks lunch and dinner, including mild kid-portion options, and the restaurant terrace turns into an evening play space.
From
€900/night
Why families love Ostria Inn
Ostria Inn is the wildcard for parents who want to escape the west-coast crowd. The cove below is calm enough for a sit-in-the-shallows toddler day, the rooms are basic but clean and air-conditioned, and grandma's cooking handles mild palates. Trade-off: you're 35 minutes from Chora by car, and the village has one shop and one taverna, so this is a digital-detox holiday rather than a buffet-and-kids-club one. Perfect for first-time-parent September trips when crowds disappear.

Villa Faros small hotel and restaurant
Αλυκό Νάξου, Aliko Beach, 84300, Greece
Wonderful
100 reviews
A tiny eight-room hotel-restaurant on a remote dune-backed beach in southern Naxos. Family rooms accommodate a cot beside the bed without crowding, the restaurant runs a baby-friendly menu, and the beach below is the kind of empty white sand that disappears in photos. Owner-run, with daily fresh bread.
From
€1061/night
Why families love Villa Faros small hotel and restaurant
Villa Faros is for the parent who values quiet over amenities. The beach is one of the most beautiful in the Cyclades and stays uncrowded even in August because access requires a 200-metre walk through dunes. Cots come on request, a lifesaver if you forgot to specify at booking. The catch is the road in: 25 minutes of dirt track from the main island circuit, hard on a baby in a car seat. Suits older babies (six months plus) better than newborns for that reason.

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.

Proteas Hotel & Suites
Main Street, Agios Prokopios, 84300, Greece
Wonderful
100 reviews
A three-star family-friendly hotel in central Agios Prokopios, two minutes' walk from the beach and three from the main pharmacy. Family rooms sleep four with a cot, ground-floor units accept prams without lifts, and the breakfast room has a dedicated baby corner with steriliser, bottle warmer and plain yogurt always on the buffet.
From
€396/night
Why families love Proteas Hotel & Suites
Proteas is the practical choice for a first Naxos trip with a baby. Walking distance to beach, supermarket, pharmacy and several baby-equipment hire shops, plus a quiet pool that older toddlers wade in safely. Air-con is solid in all rooms, breakfast is generous, and staff handle the small daily emergencies (bottle warming at 6 am, late check-out for a sick baby) without fuss. Slightly dated decor; comes with a price drop versus newer competitors.

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.
From
€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 — 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.

Cycladic Islands Hotel & Spa
Main Street, Agia Anna Naxos, 84300, Greece
Excellent
100 reviews
A four-star resort on Agia Anna's main strip with two pools (one shallow), a small spa, and family suites that fit a cot beside a king bed without bumping. Cots and highchairs in stock; the restaurant offers a kid menu and bland-friendly toddler portions. Five-minute walk to the beach and the village mini-market.
From
€619/night
Why families love Cycladic Islands Hotel & Spa
Cycladic Islands is the all-in-one pick if you want pool, beach, restaurant and pharmacy within ten minutes of your room. The shallow kid pool is genuinely shallow, useful for confident sitters and walkers. The spa is small but parents can take turns: one watches the baby in the suite, the other gets an hour. Family suites have a partial separation between bed and seating area, which lets adults read or watch something quiet after baby bedtime. Slightly bigger than feels intimate, but the size buys variety.

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.

Plaza Beach Hotel
Plaka, Plaka, 84300, Greece
Excellent
100 reviews
A three-star beachfront hotel directly on Plaka beach, the longest stretch of soft west-coast sand on the island. Family rooms include sofa-bed setups for older kids and a cot can slot beside the parents' bed. Beach umbrellas in front of the hotel are reserved for guests, with showers and toilets immediately accessible.
From
€492/night
Why families love Plaza Beach Hotel
Plaza Beach is the location pick. You walk out the back gate, ten metres of decking, and you're on the sand. The reserved umbrellas mean you can take a tiny baby down without fighting for shade in July. Rooms are simple but clean, beachfront ones have direct sea views worth the upgrade. Note: it's lively in evenings with the restaurant and bar reopening at 19h, so light-sleeper babies are better off in a back-facing room. Manager's email confirms cot reservations within the day.

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
€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
€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
€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
€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.
💡Honest Tips Before You Book
- 1Stay on the Agios Prokopios-Agia Anna strip for the first Naxos visit with kids — it has the best beach access, the shortest walk to tavernas, and the most family-hotel density on the island.
- 2Rent a car for at least 3 of your 7 nights — the inland villages like Halki, Apiranthos and Filoti are the best day trips, and the windy west coast beaches are easier to escape with wheels.
- 3Ask if the pool has a shallow end for toddlers before booking — some of the older Chora hotels have only a 1.6-metre deep adult pool with no transition, which rules out water play for under-sevens.
- 4Book the Blue Star ferry from Athens (Piraeus) if you can — it's faster, newer, and much smoother than the older high-speed options, which get cancelled often in meltemi season.
- 5Eat dinner at 7pm if you want a proper family table — Naxos restaurants fill up with Greek families from 9pm, and the kitchen slows right down once the locals arrive.
