Insider's View
The restaurants usually open around 6pm. However if you would like your children to eat earlier, it is possible to pre-order your chosen dish at any restaurant at any time. This is a really good child friendly touch.
If the children are tiring of their pushchairs why not hire them a trike or bike from the hire shop at the Sani Beach Resort. They offer a large selection for all different ages and capabilities.
Fancy lunch from the comfort of your sun lounger? Just call over a beach buddy and order something off the mouth-watering menu and it will arrive in pretty box. Perfect for snacking on during the course of the afternoon.
Sani even has it's own bird sanctuary which you can walk to as part of a walking trail, take a picnic here and enjoy the beautiful sea views.
The marina is a great place to visit in the evenings with plenty of different choices for dinner and drinks
The best part of the day is early evening when the sea will appear warmer! The gently shelving Blue Flag awarded beach is fantastic for children to play in while you supervise them from the comfort of your sun lounger!
The Mojito Bar in the marina is the perfect place to start the evening off with a cocktail. There is a very sociable 'Happy Hour' from 7pm - 10pm!
If staying at the Porto Sani Village or Sani Asterias then a breakfast of eggs benedict and pancakes is a must! Poetry on a plate.
For a unique hands on dinning experience with the family, try the Greek meze at the Tomata
There's plenty for nature lovers at Sani. Explore the paths through the Sani forest, watch the birds at the wetland and then enjoy a picnic on the beach by the sand dunes.
Sani Festival concerts, on Sani hill is a must! Magical views and enchanting music under a starlit sky
For romantics enjoy dinner for two at the waters edge at the Sani beach club or Sani Asteria suites
Download the Sani app when you arrive. It's so useful for restaurant reservations etc and the interactive map is great.

Mr Timothy Rainsford (Guest)
Wonderful, great amenities and service are fantastic.
Lexi was superb, she definitely understood what we wanted and recommended the right place for us. Having looked around the resort, she took our tastes and wishes into opinion and created the right perfect vacation choice. My contact with Cecile regarding our documents and transfers were also first class. Everything was beautifully presented.
A top class company that puts guest satisfaction above everything else! Thank you so much.
The most beautiful resort I have been to outside the Caribbean and service that just cant be beaten - we felt special.

A private beach and views of Mount Olympus - what's not to love about the Sani, Halkidiki?
With views over Mount Olympus and the Aegean, the soft white sand and shallow water on Sanis private beach are perfect for tiny tootsies.
The long established Babewatch service, where experienced staff watch children while parents take a break, is available for those wanting to sunbathe in peace. And you neednt ever leave your sunlounger, as Beach Buddies deliver refreshments and snacks on request.
The Ofsted standard childrens clubs are run by UK childcare specialists and offer a range of activities including pool games, face-painting and arts and crafts.

The long white sandy beach, lush rolling hills dissolving into the crystal clear water and the yachts and boats bobbing away in the marina. It's easy to think that you're enjoying a rum cocktail in the caribbean rather than a Mojito in the Greek islands! The Sani beach resort is the perfect resort to escape the everyday routine of life and indulge in all the luxuries on offer. My perfect day was and invigorating early morning swim followed by a breakfast at Asteria suites. A couple of hours on the beach escaping with a good book, before a Greek meze at the Ouzerie. Tennis and a bike ride through the Sani forest. This was followed by back & neck message and sauna in the Spa. The evenings involved pre dinner drinks at the Marina whilst the sun set before dinner at the Tomata. My perfect Mediterranean getaway!

Situated on the first peninsular of Halkidiki - Kassandra, Sani occupies a stunning location in a bay with white sand and clear shallow water, perfect for children paddling. The resort is family orientated which each of the four hotels offering family accommodation, an array of great restaurants and wonderful views. The two kids clubs are conveniently located near the Sani Hotel and in the Beach Club, both of which offer an exciting activity schedule for children of all ages. The beach 'Babe Watch' service is great and very popular, you can leave your baby for up to 30 minutes complimentary with a nanny, this is located near the Beach Hotel. The resort has every sport and activity imaginable to keep every member of the family happy yet a stunning location with first class facilities to indulge in.
