Letting loose in Zante this summer?
Let’s investigate the top Zante party hotels where you can base yourself for a legendary summer stay on the island.
Zante is famous not only for its beaches and nightlife but also for daytime party experiences that help set the tone for the weekend. Many visitors combine their hotel stay with the Zante Boat Party – a lively daytime cruise with DJs and drinks that’s one of the island’s most talked-about events.
But first… why Zante?
The Greek island (known as Zakynthos in Greece) has a buzzing party vibe, with sizzling beach bars, epic boat parties, and sick bars and clubs, so you’re set for a holiday to remember – no wonder it’s known as the Greek Ibiza, minus the Balearic budget.
The famous Laganas strip is the heart of the action, while chill spots like Kalamaki and Tsilivi are a great time too if you prefer a slightly more low key party ambience.
If you’re looking for accommodation that ticks all your boxes – whether that’s big party vibes, hen and stag friendly spots, or the best for your budget – stay tuned, we’ve got you.
The best Zante party hotels
Tzante Hotel – family-free fun – *hen and stag friendly*
Located in the centre of the strip, Tzante Hotel is an adults-only spot that welcomes large groups, including hen and stag parties up for sampling the nightlife of Laganas.
With epic pool parties, decent drinks deals, clean and spacious rooms as well as friendly staff, this is a solid choice for summer 2025.
Trip Advisor rating: 4.5/5
Club Zante Plaza – poolside antics
Rated #1 on Trip Advisor for Laganas hotels, Club Zante Plaza is owned by Gaz from Geordie Shore and it’s a firm favourite with partygoers.
Close to the main strip and the beach, it’s in a handy location and promises poolside DJ sets, fun themed nights, and great all-inclusive options (not to mention a McDonald’s across the road for hangover refuelling).
Trip Advisor rating: 4.5/5
If you’re staying near Laganas or Tsilivi – where the party heart of Zante beats – it’s easy to fit in morning and afternoon activities like the Zante Boat Party before heading back to your hotel to gear up for evening clubbing.
Bitzaro Grande Hotel – low key party time
Bitzaro Grande Hotel is in Kalamaki, the neighbouring resort to Laganas with a healthy (yet slightly more chill) nightlife of its own.
Spotlessly clean and pleasingly modern, this is a great spot for a more low key party holiday if you want to have a great time without getting too messy.
Trip Advisor rating: 4.5/5
Savvas De Mar Hotel – great for groups – *hen and stag friendly*
Any list of the best party hotels in Zante has to feature Savvas De Mar.
With pumping beats day and night, a vibey social scene, and great value three-hour inclusive drinks wristbands for pre-drinks before heading out, it’s the perfect spot for a party getaway.
The spacious apartment-style rooms are great for groups, and you’ll find helpful staff, affordable food, and an unbeatable atmosphere.
Trip Advisor rating: 3/5
Dados Hotel – no frills fun – *hen and stag friendly*
A five-minute walk from the strip and right across the road from Pure Beach Club, Dados Hotel is another top tier choice for girls’ or lads’ holidays.
Great reps, a sociable pool area, decent pool snacks, and a supermarket next door for emergency Lays runs, Dados Hotel is a two-star so it is basic, but it’s clean and the rooms are spacious.
Trip Advisor rating: 4.5/5
Ionis Art Hotel – killer cocktails – *hen and stag friendly*
Ionis Art Hotel is in a fantastic location with comfortable and clean rooms, top notch food made with fresh local ingredients, great events, delicious cocktails, and a pure party ambience.
It’s super close to the bars to experience that famous Zante nightlife, and while the pool is a tad on the small side, you’re only five minutes’ walk from the beach so you have easy access for a dip in the Ionian Sea.
Trip Advisor rating: 4/5
Zante Atlantis Hotel – good balance of chill and partying
A 10 minute walk from the Laganas nightlife, Zante Atlantis Hotel is tucked away nicely if you need to retreat and chill before your next session.
This hotel offers fun, chill pool vibes, good cocktails, helpful staff and clean rooms, plus it’s close to the beach – what more could you ask for?
Trip Advisor rating: 4/5
Alexander The Great Hotel – sociable and budget-friendly – *hen and stag do friendly*
