Bobos – the Bohemian Bourgeois – seek unique, natural locations away from major tourist destinations, where they can enjoy cultural, sporting and other specialised leisure activities from the discreet luxury of their accommodation, says Santikos Hotels. Since 2001 this professional, efficient and passionate company has been providing these eclectic holidays on the Greek island of Skiathos.
Santikos Hotels and Resorts has always connected hospitality with society and its trends, needs and expectations, and their new holidaying concept is a projection of this emerging lifestyle – its aesthetic awareness, likes and dislikes are all reflected in the resorts’ services.
The 131 room Skiathos Princess Hotel and the Aegean Suites Hotel on Skiathos are both members of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Led by the Santikos family of seasoned hoteliers, the properties boast style, gourmet delights and casual sophistication appealing to a niche market of elite travellers from all over the world.
Imagine a beautiful sandy beach, crystal clear water sparkling in the sun and the scent of flowers and pines in the air. This piece of paradise is called Skiathos Princess Hotel, a luxury resort on the Greek island of Skiathos that is the perfect holiday destination for families and couples alike.
The Princess – considered the island’s deluxe hotel for adults – also appeals to families, after introducing the Little Seals crèche club, a unique facility that is free of charge for hotel guests.
The destination features ‘nouveau-taverna’ beachside dining, upscale a-la-carte dining with signature Mediterranean dishes, and the Harmony Spa, which offers tropical rain baths and exotic treatments.
The design-led Aegean Suites Hotel, on the other hand, attracts young couples and singles with 60sq m suites. Romance and relaxation are the way of life at this beautiful island bolthole overlooking the glittering Aegean Sea and a talcum-fine sandy beach.
It’s where those in the know go to cocoon themselves in luxury, with friendly hospitality, delicious gourmet cuisine, holistic spa treatments and unparalleled service – all in a stylish setting on Skiathos.
While the property includes a gym, holistic beauty centre, open-air Jacuzzi and idyllic swimming pool, its strength lies in its architecture and décor, complete with original artwork by budding Greek painters in the rooms. Gourmet dining is also on offer, particularly at the intimate Pelagos restaurant with dishes by award-winning chefs served to just four tables.
