Valais Hotel, Zakynthos

Valais Hotel is a 3-star base in Alikanas, Zakynthos, Greece, suited to travellers who want a quieter stay while still reaching the island’s famous scenery. The property sits in the Alikanas area at 29100, putting you within easy reach of Alikanas Beach for morning swims and late-afternoon walks. Guests consistently praise the calm feel of the hotel and the helpfulness of the team; with a 9.2/10 guest rating from 22 reviews, it’s the kind of place where people mention feeling looked after rather than rushed.

The outdoor spaces are a real part of the stay. You can unwind in the garden or linger on the terrace after a day out, and the library adds a slower pace for quieter evenings. Practical touches also matter on Zakynthos: free WiFi helps with planning day trips, and luggage storage makes it easier to arrive early or depart later. For peace of mind, there’s a safe-deposit box at the front desk, and the hotel is wheelchair accessible with an elevator.

If you’re planning excursions, you’re well positioned for the island’s highlights. Shipwreck Beach (Navagio) is about 33 km away, while the Blue Caves are roughly 38 km from Alikanas. For a different coastline mood, the Keri Lighthouse area is around 41 km out. Valais Hotel is best for couples and families who prefer a relaxed, low-key base over nightlife, and it suits solo travellers too when you want a comfortable place to return to after exploring.
