Natura Luxury Villas

The kids were thrilled with the water park right across from us, and we loved starting each day with breakfast by the sea at the beautiful Paraiso beach restaurant. The place has a great feel, surrounded by olive and banana trees, and the staff were polite and always smiling. Highly recommended!

Paraiso Beach Bar right at the doorstep was impeccable, and the sister beach club added a wonderful atmosphere. Our Mamma Mia luxury room had its own pool, and the sea views really are as impressive as the photos show. The newly built villas are furnished with care, and the attentive staff helped make the stay so relaxing. You can also drive or take a coach to other beaches if you want to see more of the island. Hope to come back soon.

We stayed for seven days in a pool villa at Natura Luxury Skopelos. It was fresh and new, with a lovely sea view, and its central island location made it easy to explore. Since it was early in the season, there was hardly anyone around, which we really enjoyed for the quiet and privacy. The loud music at Paraiso beach was a different story. Even with only us there, it was so irritating that spending time on the beach was a challenge. We rented a car and found other places that were a real pleasure. Breakfast orders were mixed up every time, and the waiter didn’t speak English, which might explain it. That’s disappointing for a five star hotel. There were also huge ants all over our villa’s terrace and pool area, so I couldn’t enjoy swimming there. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I hope they’ll pay more attention to these small issues, like turning down the music in the mornings and cleaning the pool. If you want quiet for reading, this probably isn’t the place. Young groups and families with children may enjoy the lively, noisy atmosphere.

The setting is convenient, roughly halfway between Glossa and Skopelos town, and the grounds look lovely and carefully done. The room’s exterior is also attractive, with a tiny but nicely made pool. Breakfast at the nearby beach bar was good, with plenty to eat and drink. Inside, though, this doesn’t feel like a luxury villa, or even a villa. It’s a small, plain room with a big patio, and the interior feels rather cheap. It isn’t private either: there’s another room attached, and you can hear the residents above walking around. The patio lights can’t be turned off, so they shine into the room at night. The air conditioning is noisy and poor quality, and it can’t maintain the room temperature. The vertical screen on the balcony door is awkward to use. Service felt impersonal. When we asked to have the outside lights switched off overnight, we were told nothing could be done and that the feedback would be passed to management. The place seems like a promising project that was left unfinished. For the money, you can find much more premium accommodation elsewhere.
