Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
This property suits travellers seeking a secluded coastal retreat integrated into a protected pine forest. Guests on Booking.com and Google hold it in high esteem. Pros include access to four distinct sandy beaches, three separate residential design concepts, and a spa. However, guests should note that the large estate requires buggy transport to navigate, and it lies at a distance from Skiathos Town nightlife.
Guests score it 9.0 out of 10 — the average across the 4 hotels we list on Skiathos is 9.2.
What Guests Loved
- The expansive 213-acre estate offers guests direct access to the famous Koukounaries Beach as well as the more secluded Ambelakia and Banana beaches, providing variety for swimming and sunbathing without leaving the property.
- Accommodations are divided into the modernist Xenia Hotel, the beachfront Grace Suites, and the secluded Nest Villas, allowing guests to select an environment that aligns with their specific aesthetic and privacy requirements.
Things to Consider
- Due to the significant scale of the grounds, moving between the different residential areas and beaches often necessitates a golf buggy transfer, which can occasionally involve a short wait during high-occupancy periods.
- Located on the southwestern tip of the island, the hotel is a twenty-minute drive from the main harbor, which may be less convenient for guests who prioritize frequent evening visits to the town's bars.

Reviews from Google“We stayed at Elivi in May this year and can highly recommend it. The resort is in a super location, with sandy beaches on either side of the peninsula, sea views from most of the complex, and nice walks in the area. The gardens are beautiful, with plants suitable for the Mediterranean climate, and it was lovely to see butterflies and bees around. The hotel grounds and complex were clean and well-maintained, and the housekeeping team was thorough and service-minded. It was especially great to see wheelchair accessible design thoughtfully and subtly incorporated throughout the resort. We also really enjoyed and appreciated the free daily outdoor yoga and fitness classes with Konstantina! And great massages in the spa! Being May, the swimming pools were still a bit too cold – it would have been amazing if they were heated slightly.”
“Elivi hotel jeep safari....We had an absolutely fantastic day on the Elivi Hotel Jeep Safari, made all the more special by our guide and the owner of the venture, Dimitris. The tour gave us the opportunity to see a completely different side of Skiathos, taking us off the beaten track and into some of the island’s most beautiful and less accessible areas. The off-road adventure was fantastic, but what really made the day stand out was the fascinating insight into the island’s Greek history, mythology and ancient points of interest that Dimitris shared along the way. Dimitris himself was amazing — knowledgeable, passionate, great fun and with a personality that made the whole experience feel more like spending a day exploring the island with a friend than simply taking a guided tour. We have visited Skiathos several times, but this experience showed us a side of the island we simply wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Without doubt, one of the best days of our holiday. Highly recommended to anyone staying at Elivi or visiting Skiathos who wants to experience the island beyond the beaches and tourist hotspots. Thank you, Dimitris, for such a memorable day!”
“Our first time in Skiathos a beautiful island. Elivi is just an amazing place ! We stayed in a premium junior nest suite which had a private pool with the most wonderful views. The hotel staff were all incredible friendly and helpful. Getting around on the buggies was good fun and very efficient. We only had breakfast and used the beach bar but the food was of good quality. Wonderful beaches and plenty comfortable sunbeds. Local tavernas were plentiful for a week and very friendly. Highly recommended water taxi from the beach. A truly wonderful hotel, would return.”
“My visit to ELIVI Skiathos was truly an unforgettable experience. From the stunning location and beautiful beaches to the comfortable and perfectly organized rooms, everything exceeded my expectations. What impressed me the most, however, was the genuine hospitality and professionalism of the people working at the hotel. Every member of the staff was kind, attentive, and always welcoming with a sincere smile, creating a warm and caring atmosphere throughout my stay. I would especially like to congratulate the kitchen team and the F&B department for the exceptional quality of both the food and the service. Whether at the buffet, the restaurants, or through room service, everything was flawless and thoughtfully prepared down to the smallest detail. I was also very impressed by the Front Office and Guest Relations teams, who ensured that our experience was truly special. Congratulations to the entire hotel team. You made me feel not just like a guest, but genuinely welcomed and valued. I truly look forward to visiting again.😊😊”

I would also like to thank the Front Desk and Guest relations teams for their kindness, efficiency, and genuine care throughout our stay.
