The picturesque Greek island of Skiathos recently played host to a star-studded family retreat, as Hollywood icons Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn enjoyed a week-long vacation with their daughter, actress Kate Hudson, her siblings, and their grandchildren.
The luxurious family getaway was a sun-soaked celebration of togetherness, set against the stunning backdrop of the Northern Sporades.
Kate Hudson and her fiancé, acclaimed musician Danny Fujikawa, touched down on the island at noon on Thursday, June 12, arriving at Skiathos airport aboard a private Learjet from Luton, in southeastern England. Their arrival set the tone for what would become a glamorous and joy-filled family reunion.
Soon after, Hudson’s legendary parents, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, arrived from Munich, adding even more star power to the vacation, according to local news outlet Skiathoschannel.gr.
The entire family gathered at a lavish private villa nestled in the serene coastal village of Achladies, just 4 km southwest of Skiathos Town (Chora). Surrounded by lush green valleys and overlooking the sparkling Aegean Sea, the villa offered the perfect mix of privacy, comfort, and island charm.
Achladies, a quaint seaside village with a tranquil atmosphere, is known for its natural beauty and traditional Greek character. The village beach—sharing the same name—is a favorite among visitors for its calm, crystal-clear waters and golden sands. Although home to only a small number of permanent residents, Achladies thrives during the summer months, thanks to its flourishing tourism industry.
The harbor, well protected from the wind, serves as a gateway to an array of water sports and boat excursions, while the village itself offers a range of amenities. Upscale hotels, cozy tavernas, and beachside bars serve authentic Greek cuisine, fresh seafood, and refreshing cocktails—making it a quintessential Mediterranean escape.
For the Russell-Hawn-Hudson family, it was a perfect blend of relaxation, luxury, and family bonding under the Greek sun. Locals and tourists alike were charmed by the Hollywood family’s low-key presence.
They are known to be regular visitors to the island, and multiple reports confirm their frequent trips. In fact, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell own a holiday home on the island of Skiathos. Kate Hudson has also been spotted vacationing there with her own family, often joining her mother and Kurt.
Skiathos Mayor Thodoris Tzoumas commented recently that it was a great honor for a place to be chosen as the permanent home of people that not only fell in love with it but showed a genuine interest in learning about its history, its culture, and especially its people and in becoming a part of its contemporary history, having left Hollywood behind for the island.
Their love for Skiathos has been documented over the years, with photos and reports of them enjoying the island’s beaches, tavernas, and boat excursions. It seems to be a beloved family tradition for them.
