Additional Activities
This resort has an impressive line‑up of activities and facilities, with the waterpark and pools being the major standouts. The resort features six pools spread across the grounds, including a lively pool with a swim‑up bar, quieter sea‑facing pools, and plenty of sunbeds and parasols. The biggest attraction is the on-site waterpark, which has nine slides, including a space bowl, racing lanes, flumes, a hill slide, and more, all included in your stay. This makes it ideal for families with older kids and teens who love water fun. There are suitable slides for younger guests, such as toddler slides.
Beyond the pools, the resort offers a wide range of facilities to keep everyone active. These include water aerobics, a fitness centre, and beautifully maintained beachfront areas with two sandy coves and private guest‑only sections (no sand). With its mix of pools, slides, beachfront access and spacious grounds, Nana Golden Beach is designed for families who want plenty to do without ever leaving the resort.
Entertainment
During the day, guests can take part in sports and fitness sessions such as water aerobics, yoga, spinning, beach volleyball, football, archery and more. There are also pedalos and canoes available free of charge on the beach. In the evenings, the resort runs a full entertainment schedule in its two amphitheatres, featuring shows by various artists, plus live music several nights a week at the Anemos bar.
For children, there is a dedicated kids’ club run by the animation team, offering creative activities, competitions, theme days, playground time and supervised play throughout the day. There’s also a mini disco every evening in the amphitheatre near the Artemis restaurant, giving younger guests their own nightly entertainment routine. Overall, the hotel delivers a lively, family‑focused programme from morning to night.
Room Options
Nana Golden Beach offers a wide range of rooms, bungalows and family suites, with accommodation designed to suit families of all sizes.
