Naxos, Greece
The 5 best boutique and luxury hotels in Naxos, Greece
The curated list of best hotels in Naxos
When it comes to slow island living with a touch of luxury, few places hit the mark quite like Naxos, one of the Aegean Islands in Greece. Think ancient olive groves, golden beaches that go on for miles and whitewashed villages where time has its own agenda. But don’t be fooled by the laid-back vibe – this island quietly delivers when it comes to design-forward stays and standout hospitality. We’ve handpicked the boutique and luxury hotels that aren’t just about thread counts and sunset views (though they do those brilliantly too). These are the hotels that offer soul, style and substance – the kind you remember long after the ferry’s pulled away. Here’s where to check in for an unforgettable stay.

Laguna Coast Resort
Laguna Coast is the Cyclades’ largest regeneration project, set across 480 acres of reclaimed wetlands, lagoons and cedar forests on Naxos’s west coast. Within this protected reserve, you’ll find a 27-acre private isle called Manto and three seasonal wetlands that draw rare migratory birds like flamingos. The Laguna coast resort’s architecture follows a biophilic ethos – hand-cut local stone, wood and glass mingle to blur boundaries between indoors and the untamed landscape. Accommodations range from sleek cedar-lined villas with private plunge pools and lake views to suites with floor cushions and open-air hammams. Raw Evo, the resort’s signature eatery, focuses on Greek-Mediterranean plates lit by lanterns as dusk falls across the water. If you are in the mood for some activities, the resort arranges adventurous horseback or e-bike tours through the reserve, personalised wellness treatments at the spa and stargazing events against unspoiled night skies.

Situated directly on Plaka Beach’s soft sands, Naxian on the Beach is an adults-only hideaway of ten bohemian-chic suites where pergolas draped in bougainvillaea shade hand-woven loungers. Each light-filled suite features floor-to-ceiling doors opening to private lounges, handcrafted wooden furniture and natural textiles that echo the sand and sea. The Tortuga beach bar-restaurant serves cocktails under pergolas draped in bougainvillaea, while sunbeds and cabanas line your doorstep for an uninterrupted sea view. Staying at Naxian on the Beach gives you access to complimentary sunbeds on the hotel’s beachfront strip, breakfast in bed service and concierge support to arrange catamaran trips or local cooking classes.

18 Grapes Hotel
Born from a Naxian family of vintners, 18 Grapes Hotel is a five-star boutique hotel just 200 metres from Agios Prokopios Beach. The hotel’s name reflects the family’s vineyard, which boasts 18 rows of grapes and this connection to viticulture is evident throughout the property. The 18 signature rooms and suites are styled in warm earth tones and natural materials like stone and rattan, with lime-plastered walls, private jacuzzis and pools overlooking the gardens. 18 Grapes Hotel boasts two multi-level swimming pools, a wellness spa with hammam and sauna and a high-end fitness centre. On the rooftop terrace, you will find the Grape Sunset bar-restaurant, serving Greek-Mediterranean comfort dishes paired with the family’s own vintages.

Finikas Beach Hotel
In the seaside village of Pyrgaki, Finikas Beach Hotel sits steps from a sandy cove and within walking distance of a cedar-forested Natura 2000 protected area. This independent, family-run stay has been designed to blend into the soft, sandy tones of its surroundings. Low-rise whitewashed buildings with stone accents, arched doorways and green shutters – all laid out in a gentle horseshoe to frame the Aegean view. The interiors are refreshingly minimal with crisp linens, polished tile floors, handpicked ceramics and just enough wood to warm it all up. The central pool area feels almost like a village square – there’s a small bar, loungers tucked under trees and a gentle sea breeze. There’s also a small wellness suite with a sauna, jacuzzi and a treatment room. The Avgi Restaurant specialises in fresh Naxian ingredients – seafood, farm-to-table produce and traditional cheeses – served against an open-air backdrop.
