Best Infinity Pool Hotels in Skiathos Town

ALTHAEA LUXURY ROOMS centres its aparthotel around a garden infinity pool with an outdoor seating area, a design choice that sets it apart from the seasonal or standard pools found at most of Skiathos Town's other stays. Family rooms come with a terrace and balcony overlooking either the pool or the garden, air-conditioning and free WiFi throughout, and a bar on-site for evening drinks without leaving the property. Soundproofing between rooms keeps the pool deck's calm from being undone by neighbouring guests. The old town's stepped lanes and the working harbor both stay within a short walk regardless of which property you pick.

The property's location roughly two kilometres from Skiathos Airport means arriving flights are visible on their final approach, a detail that becomes part of the pool-deck experience rather than a distraction, since the planes pass at a distance rather than directly overhead. It also means transfers from the airport run short, useful for travelers who would rather be poolside within twenty minutes of landing than stuck in old-town traffic on the way in from a late flight. Ferries to Skopelos, Alonissos and the mainland at Volos still leave from the same old port, a short walk from most of these rooms.

Choosing ALTHAEA over a harbor-front stay means trading old town walkability for a private pool and a quieter setting, a trade that suits travelers prioritizing the pool itself over easy access to the port's tavernas. A taxi into the old town or the harbor takes only a few minutes, so the trade-off is modest rather than total, and the property's own bar covers most evenings when a trip into town feels unnecessary. The Papadiamantis house-museum and the harbor's fish tavernas both sit close enough to fold into the same afternoon walk. Skiathos Plakes Beach and Megali Ammos remain the two most walkable beach options for anyone based in this part of town.

The infinity pool sits at the centre of the property's daily rhythm, with the outdoor seating area and bar built around it rather than tucked to one side, so a pool afternoon here does not require moving between separate zones. It is the kind of setup that rewards a slower, less itinerary-driven stay over a packed sightseeing schedule, with the garden setting doing as much work as the pool itself in setting the pace. None of this requires a rental car, the port, the old lanes and the restaurant strip all sit within a comfortable walk.
