Magic Hotel
Agia Paraskevi | Skiathos
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tucked into the green hillside above Agia Paraskevi, Magic Hotel is a small, family-run 4-star retreat with sweeping views across the bay. Think elegant, low-rise stone buildings, a tranquil pool terrace, and stylish rooms that feel more boutique than beach package. With just 35 rooms, personal service, and a soft-focus setting a short stroll from the beach, it’s a wonderfully relaxed base for exploring Skiathos.
From its elevated perch among pines and olive trees, Magic Hotel makes the most of Skiathos’ natural good looks. Stone pathways and terraced levels wind between the pools, restaurant and rooms, all angled towards the sea. Sunsets over Agia Paraskevi bay are a nightly spectacle, best enjoyed from the terrace with a glass of something chilled.
For couples and laid-back families seeking Greece’s green island charm, Magic Hotel delivers the perfect blend of boutique style and traditional hospitality. It’s around 25 minutes from Skiathos Airport by road and set on a quiet hillside just a short walk from Agia Paraskevi’s sandy beach and tavernas. See more Greece holidays.

Restaurants and Bars
The heart of the hotel’s foodie offering is The View, an à la carte terrace restaurant that does exactly what the name suggests – breakfast and dinner with big, blue Aegean views. Expect freshly prepared Greek dishes alongside international favourites, with local ingredients and a relaxed, grown-up atmosphere. Highchairs are available for younger guests, and beachwear is gently discouraged in the evenings.
By day, Orion Pool Bar keeps things easy with light bites, snacks and a range of local and international drinks right by the water’s edge. It’s seasonal and operates roughly June to October, usually from morning coffee through to late evening sundowners, subject to occupancy and weather.
Menu details, opening hours, reservation policies and any supplements can change from season to season, and may vary depending on your board basis – always check the latest information in resort. What All Inclusive typically includes.
Pool Areas and Beach
The hotel’s split-level pool terrace is designed for lingering. You’ll find two outdoor freshwater pools, including a dedicated children’s pool and an additional pool with an integrated whirlpool for gentle hydro-massages. Sunbathing areas come with loungers, parasols and hammocks, and pool towels are provided free of charge.
Inflatables are generally permitted, adding to the relaxed, family-friendly vibe, though policies can change with safety guidance.
A short walk downhill brings you to Agia Paraskevi Beach, a lovely, small stretch of sand backed by greenery and a handful of tavernas. It’s ideal for calm, crowd-free days by the sea, with the hillside setting of the hotel giving you a serene haven to return to.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Stay active with the air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio fitness machines and typically open from early morning through to late evening, subject to occupancy. Afterwards, reward yourself with spa massage treatments (extra charge, age 18+), usually available in season from June to late September, for head-to-toe relaxation without leaving the hotel.
Families are looked after with a children’s pool and highchairs in the restaurant, while practical touches – like complimentary pool towels and a helpful reception team offering concierge-style assistance – make day-to-day holiday living very easy.
Facilities, opening dates and hours are subject to seasonal adjustment and may vary depending on occupancy.
