Akiris

On Italy’s Ionian coast in Nova Siri, a short walk from Nova Siri Marina and the Ionian Sea (about 0.4 mi). This 4-star beach hotel is also near Castle of Rocca Imperiale and the Policoro Oasi WWF, making it a smart base for coastal days and local culture. Family-friendly and steps from the sand.

The property mixes upscale resort comforts with handy extras — a full spa and hair salon, massage rooms, sauna and solarium, plus fitness and mini-golf for active stays. Note: the hotel is seasonal and closed October through March.

Two outdoor pools and a private beach for sun and sea. Spa center offering massages, sauna and solarium. Fitness center, table tennis, mini-golf and a kids' playroom. Onsite hair salon and gift shop, plus free self-parking and tour assistance. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and wander down to the marina.
