9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (16 reviews)
"Stayed here for 7 nights. Did not have breakfast so could not comment. Room was cleaned every day but, for some reason the cleaner never made the bed. Instead he folded the top sheet and blankets neatly at the bottom of the bed each day. Very close to bith the beach and town centre but no noise from outside to disturb your sleep."

Paralos Irini Mare

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel location is fantastic, very peaceful, with well kept and beautiful grounds. Food is excellent, staff and service equally so. Whilst the rooms are basic ours was very clean and the swim up pool, whilst shared with two other rooms, felt private. We had a wonderful ten days all inclusive, which was excellent value. We'd 100% return! Not a place to go if you're bothered about watching television 🙂"

"The room was modern and spacious, balconies with a sea & mountain view. The buffet breakfast was fresh, with hot & cold choices, great coffee! Staff superb. Guests friendly with kind hearts. My wife was surprised when two Dutch couples presented her with a small gift, singing Happy Birthday on her birthday. Parking on site. Close to all amenities. Shout out to Anna & Constantina."

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Matala is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Matala for beaches is the main village itself, particularly around the large crescent-shaped bay.

The main Matala beach is right at your doorstep when you stay in the village. It's a sandy and pebbly beach framed by impressive cliffs with ancient caves, offering clear waters for swimming and sunbathing. You'll find plenty of tavernas and cafes directly overlooking the beach, making it very convenient for meals and refreshments.

For families, staying in the village is ideal as everything is within easy walking distance. The main beach is generally calm and suitable for children, and there are often facilities like sun loungers and parasols available. The proximity to accommodation means less hassle with transport, allowing for more time enjoying the sand and sea.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will also appreciate the convenience of staying in the village.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Matala?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Matala is during July and August, when the weather is ideal for a classic beach holiday. Temperatures typically range from 25°C to 30°C, making it superb for sunbathing, swimming in the Libyan Sea, and enjoying the vibrant beach scene.

During these months, you'll find all the beachside tavernas and shops in full swing, and there are often evening events and live music to enjoy. This is a fantastic time for couples and families looking for a lively option right on the coast, with plenty of opportunities for water sports and exploring the famous Matala caves. You'll find that all the amenities are readily available, ensuring a convenient and enjoyable stay.

For excellent beach weather with a slightly more relaxed feel, June is a wonderful alternative. The sea is already warm enough for swimming, and the average temperatures are comfortably in the mid-20s. Visiting in June means you may find better value on premium beach hotels and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular waterfront restaurants, allowing for a more spontaneous yet equally luxurious experience.
What beach activities should we do in Matala?
The best beach activities in Matala centre around its unique natural features and relaxed atmosphere, offering a mix of relaxation and exploration.

Matala Beach itself is famous for its soft sand and the ancient caves carved into the cliff face overlooking the bay. Swimming and sunbathing are popular here, and you can explore the caves, which are believed to have been Roman tombs and later a hippie commune. This is an excellent spot for couples looking for a picturesque setting to relax by the sea and explore a bit of history.

For those who enjoy more active pursuits, snorkelling and diving are very rewarding. The clear waters of Matala Bay are home to a variety of marine life, and the underwater rock formations near the caves make for interesting exploration.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Matala for you.

How much does a beach hotel in Matala cost?

Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Is it cheaper to book a Matala beach hotel and flights as a package?
