Sustainable Beach Resort with a Relaxing Atmosphere and a Touch of Barefoot Luxury
The ALERÓ Seaside Skyros Resort is seasonally open from May to October
12 Suites | Private pools | 1 Restaurant |
Welcoming solo travelers, couples, families, and friends alike, ALERÓ Seaside Skyros Resort is a holistic yet luxurious beach resort on Skyros Island. A play on the words Alas (salt) and Nero (water), ALERÓ refers to the hotel’s unique location set behind sand dunes leading to the sea. Led by three women, this family-run boutique hotel provides laid-back luxury and a mindful approach to social and ecological sustainability.
Each of the 12 light-filled suites offers unparalleled privacy, with each unit featuring its own private pool, kitchenette, dining area, and workspace. The sleek interiors are equipped with traditional and modern elements, featuring lots of wood, natural fabrics, and earthy tones with a splash of color.
Amérissa, the open-space restaurant just steps from the beach, provides a communal gathering place for guests throughout the day. Its exquisite gastronomical offerings are based on local produce and recipes and range from breakfast, lunch, and dinner to gourmet coffee, cocktails, and wines.
Skyros Island boasts a unique blend of elements from both the Sporades and the Cyclades, resulting in a distinctive, alternative feel. ALERÓ embodies a similar notion of uniqueness, blending the contrasting elements of alas and nero, luxury and simplicity, traditional and modern, to provide the perfect backdrop for a more holistic and relaxed lifestyle.
Spend carefree days by the beach, relax with a book by your private pool, and enjoy flavorful dishes and delightful summer wines while taking in the sea breeze. Or rent a Jeep and discover secluded beaches and picturesque landscapes. The hotel can also arrange boat tours to nearby islands and hard-to-reach coves. Alternatively, you can meet Skyros’ rare indigenous horse breed, the Skyrian horse, which existed throughout Greece in antiquity but now survives only here.
With wellness at the heart of everything they do, Alexandra and Iro bring their own knowledge and passion for mindful living to the hotel — making ALERÓ an increasingly sought-after destination for high-quality yoga and Pilates retreats.
