Four of the ten suites have their own hot tub and wet bar stocked with a range of glassware, for some impromptu cocktail-making sessions. The hotel will even assist if you wish to throw a small party or host a gathering in your self-catering suite. Larger, split-level two-bedroomed spaces suit families (cots and babysitting services are available on request) and groups of up to six. Whereas, the more intimate rooms and range of services to your door make the hotel an ideal choice for couples seeking an exclusive honeymoon experience – it’s also a popular choice for romance-infused weddings. All the rooms have spacious, sun-soaked furnished balconies overlooking the garden and pool.

Valet parking, private transfers, luggage porterage, unpacking, laundry and ironing services are available, giving you more time to spend sightseeing and relaxing. And for some added indulgence, in-house massage treatments can be arranged.

The calming navy and white colour scheme in the living and sleeping areas is complemented by unique hand-made furnishings, high-quality wooden flooring, Italian marble bathrooms – and in the case of the loft room, an Alpine-style wood panelled ceiling. The air conditioning is most welcome after a day of exploring under the hot Greek sun. And those needing to catch up on some work while away, can make use of the hotel’s secretarial and business services, along with the suites’ individual workspaces and high-speed internet access.

With its own kitchen garden, Mystery Skiathos ensures guests enjoy the freshest greens, alongside locally sourced produce. The hearty fare has plenty of healthy options, with an emphasis on national classic dishes. Children are well catered to with a range of yummy, simpler dishes designed to satisfy younger palates. Meals can be taken indoors, al fresco at the poolside restaurant or via room service at no extra charge (including breakfast in bed and multiple-course dinners served on your own balcony).

When you’ve had your fill of lounging by the pool, beverage in hand, there’s much to be explored close by. No less than 60 glorious sandy beaches lie within a 30-mile radius of the hotel. So whether you want a secret cove or a large resort with lots to do, you’ll find it within easy reach of Mystery Skiathos – Tsougria island is a must-see magical spot for all ages, accessed by boat ride from the neighbouring harbour. Or if you’d prefer to remain within a short stroll, head to the small and immaculate sands of Megali Ammos.

The island is also famed for its historic, well-preserved churches and monasteries. And the narrow lanes of Skiathos Town itself provide a charming place to while away an afternoon on foot, with a range of wonderful art studios and gift boutiques for authentic souvenir shopping. The hotel’s concierge will be only too happy to assist with tour bookings, restaurant reservations, local tips and activity suggestions.
