Nautica Bay Beachclub
Porto Heli stretches around the head of a large bay at the tip of the Argolic Peninsula, opposite the island of Spetses. A pine-covered headland almost encloses the bay and creates a large, natural, safe sailing area.
The Nautica Bay Beachclub is a family run hotel with a relaxed, informal atmosphere, excellent standards of service and a friendly welcome. Accommodation is located amongst extensive grounds and gardens, which wind their way down a gradual incline towards the seafront. This layout ensures an uncrowded feel and peaceful setting to return to after a day on the water or relaxing around the pool.
The village of Porto Heli is approximately 15 minutes’ walk from the hotel and has a great selection of restaurants catering for all tastes and budgets and a number of lively bars and tavernas open until the early hours.
Accommodation during your week ashore
There is a choice of twin, double and triple rooms, many have partial views of the bay while others look out over the gardens. All have air conditioning, broadband connection, en suite shower and wc, telephone, minibar and balcony. A superior room with large bath and lounge area is available for a supplement. Modern family rooms are located at the top of the gardens in a secluded area away from the pool. They consist of a double and twin bedroom with a connecting door, large shared bathroom with bath, shower and wc, small kitchen area with fridge and sink and a single access door. There is also a selection of interconnecting rooms located in a separate block, each with their own entrance and ensuite facilities.
Facilities
Facilities include a light and airy reception with lounge area, internet access, money exchange facilities, safety deposit boxes and a small shop selling holiday essentials. A path from reception leads to a large swimming pool with sun terrace and sunloungers providing plenty of space to relax. Next to the pool is the atmospheric pool bar. On days when lunch is not included, the pool bar serves an excellent choice of snacks, which can be enjoyed under a shady terrace. Inclusive meals are taken in the rooftop taverna. There is also a self-service laundry room, two tennis courts, volleyball court, mini golf course, table tennis and pool table.
