Sani Dunes occupies a coveted beachfront setting on the Kassandra peninsula in Halkidiki, within the prestigious Sani Resort. Here, powder-soft sand meets calm, aquamarine water and pine-cloaked hills. A short stroll (about 350m) brings you to Sani Marina, where superyachts bob beside designer boutiques, cocktail bars and an impressive line-up of restaurants.

The wider resort is a playground for nature and activity lovers: follow marked hiking and cycling trails through 20km of forest, join complimentary boat cruises, or catch a show at the open-air theatre on balmy evenings. Despite the high-end feel, the vibe remains relaxed and family-friendly.

Dining is a real highlight at Sani Dunes. On-site, three elegant à la carte restaurants set the tone:

Beach House sits right on the sand, serving refined, ingredient-led international dishes from breakfast through to dinner, with a relaxed barefoot-luxury vibe and children\u2019s menus available.

Fresco is where Italian cuisine takes centre stage, from handmade pasta to beautifully plated mains, paired with a thoughtful wine list in an intimate, candlelit setting.

The Market offers an international à la carte menu for breakfast and dinner in a stylish, market-inspired space, again with options for younger guests.

Three bars keep you refreshed throughout the day: the laid-back Pool Bar for cocktails and cool drinks between dips, the all-day Dunes Bar for sophisticated lounge vibes until 1am, and Fresco Wine Bar, a chic spot to sample Greek and international labels.

Guests on Half Board or Full Board benefit from the acclaimed Sani Dine Around programme, giving you the flexibility to dine across up to 26 restaurants (seasonal) within Sani Resort and Sani Marina, either using a per-person credit towards à la carte menus or by choosing from set dine-around menus (drinks extra; reservations recommended and pre-bookable for some venues).

What All Inclusive typically includes.

The heart of the hotel is a vast heated freshwater lagoon-style pool that winds between low-rise buildings and manicured gardens, with a dedicated children\u2019s section. Sunbeds, parasols and towel service are included, and inflatables are permitted, keeping younger guests happy.

Beyond the pool, a beautiful sandy beach awaits just steps away. The gently shelving shoreline is ideal for paddling and swimming, with sunloungers, parasols and attentive service along the shore.

Water sports fans can tap into a wide choice of activities (run by an external partner, extra charges apply), including pedalos, snorkelling, scuba diving, windsurfing, motorised options and giant inflatables out on the water.

Wellness is woven into the stay at Sani Dunes. The spa offers a menu of massages and beauty treatments, alongside a sauna, steam room and whirlpool for deep relaxation (local charges apply).

The air-conditioned gym is impressively kitted out with cardio machines, free weights, fixed strength stations and a stretching zone, typically open from early morning to evening in season. Complimentary classes and activities may include aerobics, aqua aerobics, yoga, pilates and more.

Sporty guests can make use of tennis courts, football, basketball, table tennis and paddle courts around the resort, plus cycling facilities with bike hire and guided bike tours (charges apply where noted). Specialised academies \u2013 such as the Biking, Scuba Diving, Tennis and Water Ski Academies, plus a Sailing Academy at neighbouring Sani properties \u2013 can be pre-booked via the resort\u2019s website and are shared across Sani Resort.

Add in the Sani Adventure Park and Treetop Adventure nearby, daily boat cruises from the resort (seasonal), and a full programme of live music, DJ sets and professional shows at the open-air theatre, and you\u2019ll never be short of ways to fill your days and evenings.
