Aegean Wave Hotel

Island hotels that are not by a beach have to be special – and the recently built Aegean Wave is just that. Perched above Glossa’s port, Loutraki, it has the most sublime views on Skopelos – you can see right across to Skiathos, floating on the horizon. You’ll love Antonis and Andromachi, the charming, helpful husband-and wife-team who run the place, and will arrange free transfers to Glossa and the nearest beach. The cherry on the cake? Dining on grilled calamari and sipping the family’s wine on the candlelit terrace while the sunset ignites the sky.
