The interior of Paxos is a maze of quiet lanes winding through the trees, making the island seem much bigger than it actually is. The Paxos Club Hotel, set in lovely mature gardens and surrounded by olive groves, feels pleasantly remote. In fact it is barely a kilometre from the main port of Gaios, the dramatic cliffs and headlands of the west coast. At the heart of this delightful small hotel is an original Paxiot house built from the sun-bleached limestone rock of the island. It is now used as a restaurant where breakfast can be enjoyed in the morning. The accommodation blends attractively with the surroundings and the old house. Traditional from the outside, the interiors have been designed for comfort and convenience and include a comfortable lounge with satellite TV and internet facilities.

The pool area also has an unusual jacuzzi constructed on a little island, reached by a small bridge. Adjacent to, and separated from the main pool by this bridge, is also a children’s paddling pool.

The hotel also benefits from an onsite Spa to complete your relaxation.

The Paxos Club is perfectly situated for walking. Paths and quiet lanes lead out in all directions and a beach or fabulous picnic spot is never more than a fifteen minute stroll away. It is only a fifteen  minute stroll down into Gaios, with its wide choice of restaurants, shops, tavernas and its bustling harbour.

But for those who come here purely for   the relaxation, the hotel thoughtfully lays on a minibus service with a regular timetable to Gaios. For anyone who wants to enjoy all the comfort of a hotel and all the island has to offer, the Paxos Club is the perfect choice.
