Marpunta Resort
Marpunta | Greece
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Perched on a pine-cloaked peninsula at the southern tip of Alonissos, Marpunta Resort is a whitewashed village-style hideaway where the Aegean is never more than a short stroll away. Think peaceful pebble-and-sand coves, sea-view pools, modern rooms and laid-back All Inclusive dining, all wrapped in a lush forest landscape just a couple of kilometres from pretty Patitiri harbour.
Low-rise, sugar-cube buildings tumble down a hillside fringed by pines to the water’s edge at Marpunta Resort. Days drift by between the two outdoor pools and the quiet coves below, with contemporary rooms, a relaxed All Inclusive concept and panoramic Aegean views at every turn. It’s the sort of place where you pad to breakfast in flip-flops and end the day with golden-hour strolls around the peninsula.
For couples and families who want Greece’s wild island beauty without the crowds, Marpunta Resort delivers a wonderfully peaceful base on Alonissos Island. The journey is part of the adventure: it’s around 2 hours 50 minutes from Skiathos Airport including a scenic ferry crossing. See more Greece holidays.

Location
Marpunta Resort sits on its own private-feeling peninsula on the south coast of Alonissos Island, one of the lesser-known gems of the Sporades. Fragrant pine forest meets blue-green waters and pebbly coves, with the resort’s whitewashed buildings stepping down the hillside towards the sea.
When you’re ready to explore, the island’s main village and harbour, Patitiri, is just 2km away. Wander the pretty waterfront, linger over meze in a traditional taverna and snap the colour-washed houses that climb the hillside above the bay.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Marpunta Resort right on the beach?
Yes. Marpunta Resort occupies a peninsula with a peaceful beachfront setting. The hotel’s low-rise buildings step down the hillside towards several small coves, so you’re always only a short walk from the water.
2. What is the journey like from Skiathos Airport to Marpunta Resort?
Reaching Marpunta Resort is part of the adventure. You’ll travel by road from Skiathos Airport to Skiathos Port, then take a ferry crossing of roughly 2–2.5 hours to Alonissos. From there, a short road transfer brings you to the hotel. Depending on ferry schedules and weather, there may be a wait at the port or, occasionally, an overnight stay in Skiathos before continuing the next day.

Yes, Marpunta Resort is family-friendly. There’s a children’s freshwater pool, highchairs in both restaurants and a choice of family rooms and suites sleeping up to four or five guests. The relaxed vibe and natural surroundings suit families who prefer quieter, low-key Greek islands rather than big, busy resorts.
5. Are there many steps at Marpunta Resort?
The resort is built on a hillside down to the sea, so you should expect some slopes and steps between blocks, pools and the beach. There are only two floors and no lifts in the accommodation blocks, so guests with limited mobility should discuss their requirements with Travelisto before booking.

Yes. The hotel offers a gym with free weights and fixed strength machines (seasonal hours), plus activities like aqua aerobics, paddle, pilates, yoga, tennis and table tennis. Activity programmes can vary with season and occupancy.

Free Wi‑Fi is available throughout Marpunta Resort, including the main public areas and guest rooms, so you can stay connected while still switching to island time.
8. Can I walk to Patitiri from the hotel?
Patitiri, the island’s main harbour and village, is approximately 2km from Marpunta Resort. It’s a short drive or taxi ride away, and keen walkers may enjoy walking sections of the route depending on the heat and time of day. It’s ideal for an afternoon or evening exploring the waterfront, museum and tavernas.
