Naxos Beach Resort

in Giardini Naxos , Sicily T rating: 4

Family rooms
Olympic size pool
Beachfront location
Hotel-run kids' club

The scenery surrounding the Naxos Beach Resort is spectacular to put it mildly. After all, this complex is so close to Mount Etna you can actually see it smouldering away. Not only that, the hotel is set in tropical gardens complete with manicured lawns and shady palms. Plus, there’s a beautiful private beach just a short stroll away. And if you can tear yourself away, Giardini and are within easy reach, while Mount Etna is only an hour’s drive away.

The Naxos Beach Resort itself is a big contemporary affair. Accommodation-wise, there’s a mix of rooms, suites and cottages on offer – so you’ll easily find something to suit you. Rooms are well-dressed - think sand-coloured walls, lightwood furniture and terracotta-coloured bedspreads. In terms of extras, expect private balconies or terraces, along with air-conditioning, mini fridges and satellite TVs.

Outside, everything centres around a show-stopping pool scene. This place offers up two outdoor pools, and one of them is Olympic-sized. Add that to a wide sun terrace dotted with loungers and parasols, a separate splash pool for the little ones and a bar, and you’ve got the perfect chill-out zone. If all that sounds a little too relaxed for your liking, you could always head for the state-of-the-art gym instead.

As for dining, the hotel serves up five restaurants and four bar-come-cafés. From traditional Italian fare to just-landed seafood and authentic Sicilian favourites, it’s all on the menu and more. There’s even a separate restaurant for the children, so you can rest assured there’s plenty for the little ones to eat, too.

Last but not least, the hotel offers up plenty in the way of entertainment. We’re talking children’s clubs, cabaret shows and comedy nights – and you can dip in and out as much or as little as you like.

Your guide to Giardini Naxos, Sicily

“Just down the hill from Taormina, Giardini Naxos is a classic beach resort with a good range of facilities.”

Giardini Naxos is actually four places rolled into one. There’s the charming old town. The lively seafront. The Cape Schiso harbour area. And last but not least, the gorgeous resort of Recanati. It doesn’t have the lip-smacking beauty of Taormina. Or the heaps of history you’ll find in many other Sicilian towns. But it most certainly makes up for in facilities, with good beaches that you can easily walk to, fun for the kids and plenty of bars and restaurants. That’s not to say that the resort doesn’t have its fair share of historical credentials. Naxos was the first ever Greek colony on the island, and there are some remains to visit, set against the stunning backdrop of the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna. However, life in Giardini Naxos is mostly about relaxing, enjoying the Sicilian sun and having a go at the odd watersport or two. Mind you, if you’re into walking and glorious scenery, there’s the Alcantara Gorge just a few miles inland. As for the kids, most of the summer there’s a little funfair in Recanati, where they can bounce off some energy on the trampolines or test their putting skills on the mini-golf. In the evening, the prom is the place to stroll and take the evening air, before settling down in one of the many open air trattorie for a plate of pasta and a glass of sensationally fruity Etna wine made with grapes grown on the volcano. Nightlife in Giardini Naxos doesn’t make the earth move, but there are several places where you can strut your stuff, including a few open-air discos in Recanati.
