Viva Mare Hotel  

On Lesvos’s north coast in Eftalou/Molyvos — a family-friendly beachfront resort with the sand right outside the door. The ancient village of Molyvos is about a 20-minute walk away, while Eftalou hot springs, Molyvos Castle and Petra harbour are all within easy reach.

Rooms open onto private balconies with sea or garden views and come with cozy anatomic beds, flat-screen TVs and minibars. Some bathrooms feature hydromassage tubs or Jacuzzi-style bathtubs; duplex maisonettes add extra space and a touch of luxury. The resort is made up of several buildings and blends marble-finished bathrooms with modern tech like wireless internet and magnetic key locks.

Expect multiple pools (indoor and outdoor), dedicated children’s pools, two playgrounds and a roughly 220m private beach for wake-up sea-breeze mornings. The spa area includes a sauna, Turkish bath, jacuzzi and massage treatments, plus a gym, bike hire and a tour desk to book local outings. Note that some facilities are seasonal and may be limited at certain times of the year.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property, a business center and an events/meeting room make this a practical pick for mixed work-and-play stays. Free self-parking and a 24-hour front desk add convenience.

An on-site restaurant serves dishes paired with excellent wines and sweeping Aegean views, while two bars, a poolside bar and a snack deli keep things relaxed. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:00–10:00 to fuel your island adventures.
