Perched on a hilltop on the Pounta Peninsula overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea, ELIVI SKIATHOS is the only five-star luxury resort hotel on the island and is surrounded by ancient pine forest, lagoons, olive groves and white sandy beaches. This autumn – between 20th September and 10th October – the hotel is offering up to 15% off room rates, encouraging guests to book a spontaneous trip to soak up the last of the summer sun.
Spread across 213 acres, ELIVI SKIATHOS is tucked away in an area of natural beauty on the southwest of the island beside a wildlife refuge and with direct access to four of the island’s best beaches and protected seas. ELIVI Xenia Hotel features 32 rooms on a hilltop overlooking lush greenery and the Aegean Sea, 67 Elivi Grace Rooms & Suites sit directly on the beach and 61 Nest Rooms, Villas and Suites are dotted amongst pine trees and olive groves.
During the off-peak season when there are fewer visitors, ELIVI is a haven of tranquillity and guests are encouraged to take part in the numerous activities on offer at the hotel and on the island. With milder temperatures than the summer months – averaging at around 23°C – hiking through the national park in the shade of the pine forests (which make up 70% of the island) is an appealing option for guests, as well as cycling or horse riding through the olive groves.
Skiathos is also popular with migrating birds, and bird watchers are guaranteed some good sightings, particularly in the cooler months. There are also multiple opportunities for watersports, swim safaris, guided snorkelling and scuba diving, with guests able to enjoy the more remote and beautiful beaches away from the summer crowds. For foodies, September is the time for honey and grape harvests and olive picking, allowing guests the chance to try some of Skiathos’ finest produce.
With fewer tourists, more space and persistent sunshine in Skiathos in the autumn months, ELIVI SKIATHOS offers the perfect finale to summer 2021. Guests can enjoy an Indian summer by relaxing on their private terraces or spending days in nature or at the beach, reading, sunbathing and relaxing after a tumultuous year.
ELIVI SKIATHOS closes for the season on 10th October 2021 with the Nest Rooms, Villas and Suites closing slightly earlier on 26th September.
