Medieval streets, beach resorts and a coastline that stretches from sheltered bays to sweeping sandy beaches have made Rhodes one of Greece's most enduring holiday favourites.
Rhodes combines beautiful beaches, fascinating history and a remarkable variety of holiday experiences within Greece's largest Dodecanese island. Served by direct flights from across the UK, it remains one of the country's most accessible and rewarding destinations, offering far more than its famous resorts alone suggest.
Rhodes Town is one of the island's greatest attractions. Its UNESCO-listed medieval quarter is among the best preserved in Europe, with imposing stone walls, cobbled streets and grand buildings reflecting centuries of Greek, Byzantine and Knights Hospitaller influence. Beyond the old town, lively waterfronts, modern shopping districts and bustling cafés create a destination that feels very much alive rather than simply historic.
Elsewhere, the island reveals a diverse coastline of sandy beaches, secluded coves and resort towns ranging from sophisticated Lindos to family-friendly coastal villages. Inland, pine-covered hills, traditional settlements and archaeological sites provide a different perspective on the island, whilst Rhodes' position close to the Turkish coast has helped shape a unique character all of its own. Combined with excellent hotels, reliable sunshine and enough variety to suit almost every traveller, Rhodes remains one of Greece's most complete island holidays.
AMOH, a Luxury Collection Resort, Rhodes inhabits a secluded peninsula near Lindos, shaped by two private coves, an ancient stone quarry and sweeping Mediterranean views. The landscape is not simply a backdrop here; it gives the resort its structure and character. Buildings follow the contours of the peninsula, terraces turn towards the water and pathways weave through planted gardens and weathered stone. At its heart, the preserved quarry brings the island’s geology and history into everyday view, creating a setting that feels unmistakably rooted in Rhodes. Inside, the mood is contemporary yet grounded. Timber, stone, ceramics and tactile references to local craftsmanship bring warmth to restrained interiors, while generous openings allow the strong Aegean light to shape each space. Despite the resort’s breadth, its coves, gardens and terraces create smaller pockets of atmosphere, balancing a sense of occasion with genuine privacy. para-2 Rooms and suites span approximately 32 to 178 square metres, with every category extending onto a private balcony or terrace. The collection includes inland and sea-facing options, one and two-level arrangements and selected accommodation with private pools, giving guests meaningful choices in outlook, space and seclusion. Hemera Hideaways form the more intimate end of the collection, with a choice of inland or sea views and the option of a private pool. Selena Suites provide additional room for longer stays, while the Rhoda Presidential Suite places the emphasis firmly on expansive living, outdoor space and a private pool overlooking the sea. Throughout, the accommodation shares a calm, considered aesthetic. Natural textures and a restrained palette keep the rooms closely connected to their surroundings, while the terraces ensure outdoor living feels integral to the experience rather than an afterthought. para-3 With four restaurants, four bars and lounges, and a dedicated patisserie, dining has enough range to give each part of the day its own rhythm. Lithos begins with a generous Mediterranean breakfast before adopting a more refined à la carte character in the evening. Cava Di Pietra draws much of its atmosphere from its position beside the ancient quarry, matching that distinctive setting with Italian recipes rooted in family tradition. Glaze is more polished in tone, centring its menu on aged meats from the Josper grill alongside sushi and an intimate teppanyaki experience. Beside the water, Kymata takes a contemporary approach to Greek seafood, allowing local catch and seasonal ingredients to reflect the resort’s coastal setting. Its relationship with the neighbouring beach makes it an especially natural choice for unhurried lunches near the shoreline. Oniro Patisserie brings a modern touch to Greek pastries and artisanal ice cream, while the AMOH Lounge Bar offers cocktails, premium spirits, substantial bites and desserts in an elegant social setting. The six-seat Cigar Lounge is deliberately more intimate, with handcrafted drinks and considered pairings served in richly furnished surroundings. Isle Pool Bar and Amohnite Beach Bar keep daytime dining relaxed, covering everything from coffee, smoothies and light dishes to wine and cocktails. Together, the venues give the resort a welcome change of pace between breakfast, beachside afternoons and more composed evenings. para-4 The peninsula descends to two coves with markedly different personalities. Kymata Beach is the more exclusive retreat, accommodating only twelve guests across two raised terraces above a quiet bay. Food and drinks are served from Kymata Restaurant, allowing the shoreline to become an intimate extension of the dining experience. Kavos Beach has a broader, easier-going character, with golden sand, sheltered water and service from the nearby beach bar. The contrast between the two allows guests to move from near-total quiet to a more relaxed day beside the sea without leaving the peninsula. An outdoor pool provides a further place to settle into the sunshine, but the resort’s defining pleasure lies in the way its spaces connect. Days can unfold between the water, long lunches, garden paths and stone terraces, before evenings gather around the quarry and its striking sense of place. para-5 ELISPA has the substance of a fully developed wellness destination. Six individual treatment rooms are joined by a private couples’ suite with its own Jacuzzi, as well as a steam bath, sauna, wet lounge and dedicated relaxation areas. A hair and nail salon broadens the offering beyond treatments alone. The fitness facilities are equally considered, combining Technogym equipment with personal training, yoga, reformer Pilates and digital coaching. Indoor and outdoor swimming add further variety, making the wellness programme well suited to guests who want movement and training to remain an active part of their stay. para-6 AMOH occupies a private peninsula on the southeastern coast of Rhodes, close to the whitewashed village of Lindos and its ancient Acropolis. Its position brings one of the island’s most compelling historic areas within reach, while the protected coves, preserved quarry and uninterrupted sea views give the resort a secluded world of its own.

Lindos Blu Luxury Hotel & Suites is an adults only Small Luxury Hotels of the World property set above Vlicha Bay, just outside Lindos, where the entire experience is built around light, space and a direct connection to the Aegean. What stands out is how deliberately everything faces outward. From the moment you arrive, the hotel pulls your focus straight through to the bay, with terraces, walkways and shared spaces all aligned to that single view, so nothing feels inward looking or closed off. It gives the place a calm, assured feel. There is no need for theatrics or over-designed spaces because the setting carries it, and the layout simply works with it rather than trying to compete. para-2 The rooms, suites and villas follow that same thinking. Clean, pared back interiors keep the emphasis on the terraces and the view, with private outdoor space doing as much of the work as the room itself. Higher categories bring in private pools or outdoor hot tubs, which shift the stay into something more self contained, but even the standard rooms still feel properly positioned rather than secondary, with the same uninterrupted outlook across the bay. para-3 Dining is split between two distinct settings. Five Senses leans more towards a considered, slower dinner built around Greek ingredients and technique, while Smeraldo is more relaxed and flexible, covering breakfast through to evening with a broader Mediterranean focus. Both restaurants keep the same outward facing feel, so meals stay connected to the setting rather than becoming a separate, indoor experience. The bars follow the same approach, with Luna Rossa carrying things into the evening and the pool bar handling the daytime without ever breaking that flow. para-4 Outdoors is where the hotel settles into itself. Two pools sit on different levels, each with a slightly different perspective over the bay, so the day naturally shifts between spaces rather than staying fixed in one place. Below, the beach is set up as a continuation of the hotel rather than an afterthought, with loungers and service in place, making it easy to move between poolside and sea without any real break in pace. para-5 The spa and indoor facilities add a quieter counterpoint, with an indoor pool, sauna and treatment rooms providing a more contained space when you want to step out of the sun, rather than trying to dominate the overall experience. para-6 The hotel sits above Vlicha Bay around 2 kilometres from Lindos, with Rhodes Town and the airport both approximately 50 kilometres away, close enough for access but far enough to keep the setting feeling removed and self contained.
From £260 per night
Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa is our choice for a polished adults-only escape in Rhodes, bringing generous sea views, excellent dining and a genuine sense of occasion to the premium all-inclusive experience. Set on the quieter south-east coast in Kiotari, the resort opens towards the Aegean through long pools, broad terraces and low contemporary buildings. The scale is substantial, yet the layout gives each part of the hotel room to breathe, allowing guests to move naturally between the beach, gardens, restaurants and quieter corners without everything feeling concentrated around a single busy centre. There is a confidence to the way Mayia is put together. Service is attentive, the surroundings are immaculate and the all-inclusive format has enough depth to make a longer stay feel varied rather than repetitive. It is particularly well suited to couples who want the ease of having everything arranged, but still expect thoughtful dining, attractive private spaces and a distinctly grown-up atmosphere. para-2 Rooms, suites and bungalows are contemporary and composed, using light finishes and clean lines to keep the focus on the outlook. Air conditioning, smart televisions, coffee-making facilities and private terraces feature across the collection, while sea-view and garden settings create a meaningful difference between categories. The Deluxe Room Sea View and Junior Suite Sea View are strong choices for guests who plan to spend most of the day around the resort, providing a comfortable base with the Aegean always close at hand. The Deluxe Bungalow Sea View feels more removed from the main building, bringing a little more separation and an easy connection to the landscaped grounds. Mayia becomes more distinctive in its water-led categories. The Deluxe Room Swim Up Sea View and Junior Suite Swim Up Sea View place the pool directly outside the terrace, making the outdoor space central to the stay rather than simply an addition to the room. Deluxe Bungalow Swim Up Garden View accommodation offers a greener, more sheltered alternative. For greater space, the Premier Bungalow Suite categories are the natural step up, with both sea-view and swim-up options available. The Mayia Suite with Private Pool Sea View is the most complete choice for privacy, combining its own pool with an uninterrupted outlook and a more self-contained way of enjoying the resort. para-3 Dining carries proper weight at Mayia, with a collection of named restaurants that gives the all-inclusive arrangement welcome breadth. Waterfront Main Restaurant anchors the offering with generous breakfast, lunch and dinner service, including a range of drinks and selected wines, but it is the choice beyond the main restaurant that gives the stay its variety. Thymari Greek à la carte Restaurant draws on familiar local flavours, while Al Dente provides an Italian change of pace and Wasabi introduces an Asian menu. Each gives the evening a different identity, so dining feels considered across a four- or seven-night stay rather than built around repeated visits to the same room. During the day, the All Day Comfort Restaurant by the pool keeps lunch informal and close to the water, while the Street Food Corner is useful for lighter, spontaneous stops between swimming and sunbathing. A coffee house, snack service and special-diet menus on request add further flexibility. The bars are equally important to the hotel’s character. Drinks flow easily between the pool, beach and evening spaces, while the Champagne Bar brings a more elegant note after dark. It is this combination of convenience and occasion that allows Mayia to feel indulgent without becoming overly formal. para-4 Most days settle into a natural rhythm between the private beach, the two outdoor pools and the terrace outside your room. The beachfront position keeps the Aegean present throughout the stay, while the scale of the grounds makes it possible to find a quieter place to read or swim even when there is more activity around the main pool. Guests who prefer an active holiday have plenty of choice. Tennis, cycling, canoeing, windsurfing, snorkelling and diving are among the available options, alongside fitness and yoga classes. Bicycle hire and car hire make it possible to explore beyond Kiotari, while Rhodes’ south-east coast places Lindos within reach for a cultural change of scene. There is also a sociable side to the resort. Live music, evening performances, themed dinners and occasional DJ-led entertainment give the night a sense of movement, but the adults-only setting keeps the overall mood polished. Guests can join in when they wish or retreat to a quieter bar, private terrace or sea-facing corner. Cooking classes and organised activities introduce variety without dictating the pace of the holiday. Mayia works just as well for guests who want to fill the day as it does for those who would rather move no further than breakfast, the beach and a long evening meal. para-5 The spa provides a cooler, more enclosed counterpoint to the open coastal setting. An indoor pool, hammam, sauna, steam room, hot tub and relaxation spaces create a complete thermal experience, making the facilities worth setting aside time for rather than treating them as an occasional escape from the sun. Treatments extend from massages and couples’ rituals to facials, body scrubs, wraps and beauty therapies. The breadth of the menu allows guests to choose between straightforward relaxation and a more structured afternoon of treatments, with dedicated spa packages available for those who want to make wellness a larger part of the stay. A fitness centre supports more active routines, complemented by yoga and fitness classes elsewhere in the resort. Together with the beach, pools and generous outdoor space, the wellness facilities feel integrated into the holiday rather than confined to a single part of the hotel. para-6 Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa is set in Kiotari on the quieter south-east coast of Rhodes, approximately 59 kilometres from Rhodes International Airport. Airport transfers, shuttle services and car hire can be arranged, while the location works particularly well for combining restful days at the resort with a visit to Lindos or further exploration of the island’s southern coastline.
From £290 per night
Casa Cook Rhodes is an adults only hotel in Kolymbia set below Tsambika Mountain, offering a relaxed, social stay centred around swim up rooms and a strong pool focused layout. The layout is driven by water, with long, narrow pools running directly past ground floor rooms, so the line between private space and shared space is deliberately blurred. Instead of separating guests from the main areas, the design keeps everything visually and physically connected, with terraces stepping straight into the water. The Kitchen Club anchors the hotel, bringing the main pool, restaurant and bar into one continuous space where most of the day unfolds. This creates a natural flow from daytime lounging through to evenings, without needing to move between separate areas or venues. para-2 Rooms and suites follow the same approach, prioritising direct outdoor access and usable space over decorative detail. Swim up rooms and private pool suites are the key upgrade, allowing immediate access to the water, while upper level rooms use terraces to maintain that connection. The layouts are consistent and practical, with seating areas and outdoor space forming part of the overall living setup, making the rooms feel integrated into the hotel rather than set apart from it. para-3 There is one main restaurant, Kitchen Club, along with one bar, both forming part of the central space rather than operating as separate venues. The restaurant focuses on Greek and international dishes using local ingredients, while the bar carries the atmosphere from daytime through to evening with music and drinks shaping the overall pace. para-4 The main pool and surrounding loungers are where most time is spent, supported by the swim up layout that extends water access across the property. The beach is not directly on site, with Tsambika Beach around 1.7 kilometres away, so the hotel itself becomes the main setting for the day. A fitness room and open air yoga sessions are available, along with options for hiking and sailing nearby, though the focus remains on staying within the hotel and its immediate surroundings. para-5 The spa offers massage and wellness treatments, supported by fitness and yoga facilities that form part of the overall daily rhythm rather than being a separate experience. para-6 The hotel is located in Kolymbia on the east coast of Rhodes, around 1.7 kilometres from Tsambika Beach and approximately 19 kilometres from Rhodes International Airport, with both Rhodes Town and Lindos within reach for day trips.
From £140 per night
Atlantica Imperial Resort is a fully realised, adults-only five-star resort in Kolimbia, designed around space, structure and a sense of easy, all-inclusive flow rather than boutique intimacy. The layout is broad and deliberately organised, with low-rise buildings set among gardens, terraces and open walkways that lead down towards the beachfront. There’s a clear sense of planning here — everything from pools to restaurants is positioned to feel accessible without becoming crowded, giving the resort a composed, well-managed atmosphere despite its size. What defines the stay is this balance between scale and control. It has the facilities and variety of a larger resort, but avoids feeling overwhelming, helped by the adults-only setting which keeps the overall tone relaxed and measured throughout. para-2 The 174 rooms and suites follow a clean, contemporary style, with a focus on comfort and consistency rather than statement design. Interiors are well proportioned, with neutral tones, simple finishes and layouts that prioritise usable space and natural light. Balconies are standard across categories, with views over the sea, pools or gardens, while swim-up and private pool options add a more premium layer for those wanting a closer connection to the water. The higher-end “Red Carpet Services” categories bring an additional level of exclusivity, particularly within the newer Residences section across the road, where the atmosphere becomes more private and elevated. para-3 Dining is one of the resort’s stronger points, with a clear structure that works well over longer stays. Agora Dining Room & Al Fresco Terrace anchors the experience with generous buffet service and regular themed evenings, while the à la carte options add variety and contrast. Mylos focuses on Greek cuisine with a more refined, contemporary edge, Ginger introduces Asian fusion influences, and Blue Bay brings a broader international menu. The Street Food Lab offers a more casual, daytime option, ensuring there’s always something available without needing to commit to a full restaurant setting. This spread of venues gives the resort genuine range, rather than relying too heavily on a single dining concept. para-4 The main pool areas form the social heart of the hotel, with generous space for both quieter lounging and a more active atmosphere depending on the time of day. The beachfront adds another layer, offering a more open, sea-facing alternative to the central terraces. Evenings bring a shift in pace, with live music, themed nights and entertainment providing structure without becoming intrusive. The resort keeps a clear rhythm — relaxed by day, gently animated after dark — which suits the overall adults-only positioning. para-5 The spa and wellness facilities add depth beyond the standard resort offering. With a full spa setup including treatment rooms, sauna, steam facilities and a broad menu of massages and therapies, it feels like a meaningful part of the experience rather than an afterthought. Alongside this, the fitness centre, tennis courts, classes and light activities provide enough variety for guests who want to stay active, without shifting the focus away from relaxation. para-6 Located in Kolimbia on Rhodes’ east coast, the hotel sits around 6 km from Tsambika Beach, 7 km from Seven Springs and approximately 16 km from Rhodes International Airport. Its position works well as a base for exploring the island, while still feeling self-contained enough for guests who prefer to stay within the resort.
From £245 per night
Aquagrand of Lindos is an adults-only beachfront resort on Navarone Bay, where a long seafront setting, multiple dining venues and a more romantic, low-slung layout give it a quieter, more polished feel than many larger hotels in Rhodes. The first thing that defines the stay is the way the hotel sits along the bay rather than behind it. Instead of one compact core, the resort stretches across the shoreline, with buildings, terraces and pools following the curve of the coast so the sea stays in view almost constantly. That gives the whole place a softer rhythm: you move along the water rather than in and out of separate zones, and the setting feels more protected and self-contained than its scale might suggest. The layout also helps the hotel avoid the busier atmosphere that can come with a larger resort. Pools, bars, restaurants and room blocks are spread well enough apart to stop everything feeling concentrated in one place, while still keeping the sea as the reference point throughout. It is this balance — scale without noise, choice without clutter — that makes Aquagrand work. para-2 The 136 rooms and suites are designed to keep attention outward. Interiors are understated and comfortable rather than decorative for the sake of it, with clean lines, soft finishes and layouts that give proper space to sitting areas and outdoor terraces. Even in the entry categories, the relationship with the view matters, with balconies positioned to draw the eye straight to the bay. The step up comes with the junior suites and private-pool categories, particularly the seafront options, where the outdoor area becomes central to the stay rather than secondary. In these higher categories, the sense of privacy improves noticeably, and the connection to the shoreline becomes much stronger. para-3 There are five restaurants and multiple bars, which gives Aquagrand more range than many adults-only resorts on Rhodes. Pentapolis is the main restaurant, carrying breakfast and broader Mediterranean dining, while Olivino handles a more relaxed poolside rhythm with Greek and Italian dishes during the day. Sensia Beach Restaurant shifts the setting closer to the water, keeping things informal but atmospheric, while Blu Fin Gourmet Restaurant brings the strongest sense of occasion, focusing on seafood and a more polished evening experience right by the beach. Zen Asian Fusion Restaurant adds a different note to the overall mix, helping the dining feel varied rather than repetitive over a longer stay. The bars are also spread in a way that suits the layout of the resort. Zen Bar, Olivino and Sensia all carry a slightly different mood depending on time of day and position, while the lounge bar gives the hotel a quieter indoor option. The result is a dining and drinks scene with genuine breadth, rather than one venue trying to do everything. para-4 Life here settles around the water. Three pools and the long beachfront create enough variety that guests can shift the pace easily, whether that means staying close to a quieter terrace or spending the day directly by the sea. The private beach, reached by wooden decking, feels integrated into the hotel rather than separate from it, which keeps the whole resort tied closely to the bay. Although Aquagrand is clearly built for relaxation, it does not feel static. Live music, themed evenings and the spread of bars and restaurants give the property movement after dark, but in a way that remains in keeping with the adults-only tone. It stays romantic and composed rather than lively for the sake of it. para-5 Aquasenses Spa is a proper part of the resort rather than a token add-on. It includes treatment rooms, saunas, a hammam, a health bar and a full menu of therapies, giving wellness real weight within the stay. The treatment offering is broad, covering massages, facials, body rituals and more restorative options, while the overall setup feels substantial enough to support guests who want to spend a meaningful part of their time here rather than just book one treatment. There is also a fitness centre and light activity options such as yoga, but the spa remains the main counterbalance to the beach and pool rhythm. It gives the hotel another layer, which matters in a resort of this size. para-6 The hotel is set on Navarone Bay around 1.5 km from Lindos village and approximately 50 km from Rhodes Town and Rhodes International Airport. That positioning works particularly well: close enough for easy access to Lindos and its restaurants, shops and historic sites, but far enough away to feel removed once back at the resort.
From £145 per night

Lindos Grand Resort & Spa is an adults only five star retreat set just above Vlicha Beach near Lindos, where the real appeal comes from how much of the experience can be kept private if you choose the right room. It’s not trying to be overly styled or architectural. The focus is on space, light and keeping everything facing the sea, so wherever you are, the view is doing most of the heavy lifting rather than the design shouting for attention. That makes the whole place feel easy to settle into. Nothing feels forced, and you quickly fall into your own rhythm between your room, the pool and the beach without needing to think about it. para-2 The rooms and junior suites keep things clean and contemporary, with light finishes, well-sized bathrooms and proper outdoor space that makes the most of the setting. Even the entry level options feel open and well positioned rather than like an afterthought. It’s the private pool suites that elevate the stay though, particularly the Deluxe Junior Suite with Private Pool & Sea View, which gives you that added sense of space and privacy without losing the connection to the bay. It’s a worthwhile step up if you’re deciding where to spend a bit more. para-3 Dining is spread across several restaurants, and it’s set up to give you variety across a longer stay rather than one standout dining moment. Terra Mare Main Buffet Restaurant covers breakfast and themed evenings, while Acqua e Sale works well for a slower lunch by the water. In the evenings, places like Agistri for seafood or La Cucina for Italian give you a change of pace without needing to leave the resort, and Takara and Yume Mou add a more contemporary edge with Asian and Japanese menus. para-4 The main pool is where most people drift during the day, but the beach is close enough that you naturally split time between the two. It’s set up properly with loungers and service, so it feels like part of the hotel rather than somewhere you have to go out of your way to use. There’s enough space across both areas that it never feels cramped, even when the hotel is busy, which makes a bigger difference than you might expect over a full week. para-5 The spa gives you a quieter fallback when you want it, with an indoor pool and treatment rooms that are actually worth using rather than just there for show, especially if you’re breaking up long days in the sun. para-6 The hotel sits just above Vlicha Beach, around 5 kilometres from Lindos, with Rhodes Town about 45 kilometres away and the airport roughly 44 kilometres, so it stays easy to reach without losing that slightly removed feel.
From £110 per night
Boutique 5 Hotel & Spa is an adults only hotel in Kiotari on the south coast of Rhodes, offering a quiet seafront stay built around private pool suites and a full scale spa. The hotel is set just back from the shoreline, with a clear linear layout that runs from the entrance down towards the sea, keeping movement simple and focused throughout the stay. Shared spaces open out gradually, with the main pool forming the centre point before the line of sight continues towards the beach beyond. There is a consistent sense of openness across the property, with low rise buildings, clean lines and wide spacing between areas avoiding any feeling of density. Circulation is straightforward and easy to navigate, giving the hotel a calm, uncluttered rhythm that suits its adults only positioning. para-2 Accommodation is made up of 44 rooms and suites, with a strong focus on space and outdoor living rather than compact hotel layouts. Entry level rooms are generous in size, while higher categories introduce private pools or hot tubs, shifting the experience towards something more self contained. Terraces and balconies are a key part of how the rooms are used, with most facing the sea, allowing the outdoor space to become an extension of the living area rather than an afterthought. para-3 There is one main restaurant, Impressions Restaurant, along with one bar, keeping the dining setup focused rather than varied. The restaurant covers breakfast, lunch and dinner with a Mediterranean led menu, while the bar sits alongside the pool, moving from daytime drinks through to evening cocktails. para-4 The main outdoor pool acts as the central point of the hotel, with loungers and space to settle in for the day, while the beach sits around 40 metres away with sunbeds and shade available. The overall pace is slow, with most time spent between the pool, private terraces and the sea. For those looking to stay active there is a tennis court on site, along with options for cycling and organised excursions, though the emphasis remains on staying within the hotel rather than constant movement. para-5 The Bliss Spa is a full scale facility with an indoor pool, hammam, sauna, treatment rooms and a gym, giving it real weight within the overall setup rather than being a secondary add on. para-6 The hotel is located in Kiotari on the south coast of Rhodes, less than 3 kilometres from the village centre, around 15 kilometres from Lindos and approximately 58 kilometres from Rhodes International Airport, making it better suited to a stay that remains largely on property with occasional trips out.
From £170 per night
Grande Albergo delle Rose is a historic hotel on the seafront in Rhodes Town, offering a more classic stay built around its original 1920s character and a prime position close to both the beach and the old town. The building carries its age with confidence, with larger interior spaces, high ceilings and a more formal layout that sets it apart from newer hotels. Public areas flow through lounges and terraces rather than one central hub, giving it a slower, more traditional rhythm throughout the day. There is a clear sense of separation between indoor and outdoor spaces, with the pool and garden areas providing a quieter contrast to the seafront just beyond, while the casino adds a distinct layer to the overall atmosphere that is unique to this hotel. para-2 There are 33 rooms and suites, with layouts that feel more generous in scale than modern builds, particularly in the suite categories. Some include spa baths and balconies with sea views, while others overlook the gardens, giving a choice between outlook and privacy. The overall feel leans more towards classic comfort than contemporary design, which suits the character of the building and keeps the focus on space rather than styling. para-3 There are three restaurants, Aqua Seaside Pool Cafe, Garden Cafe and La Rosa, along with a pool bar and a lobby bar, giving a mix of casual and more formal options. Dining ranges from lighter meals by the pool through to Mediterranean dishes in more structured settings, without trying to overcomplicate the setup. The bars follow the same approach, with daytime use centred around the pool and evenings shifting towards the indoor spaces. para-4 The outdoor pool and surrounding terrace provide a quieter space to spend time, while the beach sits directly in front of the hotel for easy access. The casino adds a different dimension to the stay, giving it more of a nightlife element than most hotels in this part of Rhodes. Rhodes Town is within walking distance, so days tend to split naturally between the hotel, the beach and the old town without needing transport. para-5 The spa includes treatment rooms and wellness facilities, offering a straightforward setup for massage and relaxation alongside a gym. para-6 The hotel is located on the seafront in Rhodes Town, around 700 metres from the Aquarium and under 1 kilometre from the old town, with Rhodes International Airport approximately 13 kilometres away.
From £125 per night
In Camera Art Boutique Hotel sits within Rhodes Old Town, offering a small scale stay built around restored medieval interiors and a quiet garden setting just moments from the main historic sites. The building is set within the narrow streets of the old town, where thick stone walls, arches and enclosed courtyards shape how the space is experienced. Inside, the layout feels intimate and contained, with rooms arranged around smaller shared areas rather than open communal spaces, giving it a more private, slower rhythm. The garden sits at the centre of the hotel, creating a calm contrast to the streets outside, while the overall scale keeps everything close and easy to move through without ever feeling busy. para-2 Suites and the villa are individually arranged, with original features such as exposed stone, beams and tiled floors shaping each space differently. Rather than following a standard layout, rooms adapt to the structure of the building, with some opening directly onto the garden and others looking out across the old town. Outdoor space varies by category, with select suites offering private terraces or hot tubs, adding a more self contained feel within the historic setting. para-3 There is one bar on site, focused on drinks and light bites, with most dining taking place in the surrounding old town. Taverns and restaurants are within a short walk, so the setup leans more towards using the location rather than building multiple venues into the hotel itself. para-4 The pace is quiet and low key, with the garden and outdoor hot tub providing the main spaces to unwind. There are no large shared facilities, so the hotel works best as a base for exploring the old town and returning to something more private afterwards. Everything is within walking distance, from historical landmarks to small shops and local spots, making it easy to spend the stay on foot. para-5 Wellness is limited to treatments and the outdoor hot tub, keeping things in line with the scale of the hotel. para-6 The hotel is located in Rhodes Old Town, around 1 kilometre from the port and approximately 15 kilometres from Rhodes International Airport, with landmarks such as the Grand Master’s Palace and Synagogue Kahal Shalom within easy walking distance.
From £100 per night
Ammades All Suites Beach Hotel & Spa feels refreshingly composed from the moment you arrive — a clean-lined, adults-only retreat set directly on the sand in Faliraki, where the usual noise of the area quickly falls away behind a more controlled, quietly polished atmosphere. The scale is key. With just 45 suites, everything feels contained and easy to navigate, centred around a simple pool terrace that flows naturally down towards the beach. The design is deliberately restrained — pale tones, sharp architectural lines and uncluttered spaces — allowing the sea views and light to do most of the work rather than over-styled detail. para-2 Suites are generous without being overdone, and importantly, they feel consistent throughout. Interiors are modern and well balanced, with comfortable seating areas, clean finishes and thoughtful touches that don’t interrupt the overall calm. The real step up comes with the private pool and sea view categories, where the outdoor space becomes part of the experience rather than just an add-on. para-3 Dining is relaxed and well-paced rather than showy. Ammades Seaside Restaurant and Ammades Taste focus on straightforward Mediterranean cooking, served in a setting that keeps the sea in view, while the beach bar provides an easy option for lighter meals and drinks throughout the day. It’s all done without fuss, which suits the tone of the hotel. para-4 Days naturally settle into a rhythm between the pool and the beach, both of which feel calm and well managed. The spa adds another layer with a small but polished setup, while the gym and light activity options are there if needed but never dominate the stay. para-5 Positioned right on the beachfront in Faliraki, around 13 kilometres from Rhodes Old Town and 16 kilometres from the airport, Ammades works best as a straightforward, well-executed adults-only base — somewhere you can properly switch off, with just enough around you when you want it.
From £210 per night
The 10GR Boutique Hotel & Wine Bar brings together medieval Rhodes, intimate stone-built accommodation and one of the Old Town’s most distinctive wine experiences. Set within a restored townhouse dating from the period of the Knights of St John, the hotel feels inseparable from its surroundings. Thick stone walls, arches and narrow internal passages preserve the character of the original building, while contemporary furnishings and carefully chosen lighting soften the historic structure without disguising it. This is a small, atmospheric place where the experience centres on Rhodes itself. The Medieval City begins at the door, while the wine bar brings guests and local visitors together over dinner and a cellar of more than 220 labels. Above it all, the rooftop sun deck offers a quieter perspective across the rooftops and stonework of the Old Town. para-2 Rooms and suites have been shaped by the proportions of the original townhouse, giving each one an individual layout rather than imposing a standard hotel format on the building. Exposed stone remains a defining feature, balanced by warm finishes and modern comforts including air conditioning, soundproofing, coffee-making facilities and well-appointed bathrooms. The character comes from this meeting of old and new. Heavy masonry and medieval details provide the sense of place, while softer fabrics, considered lighting and contemporary furnishings make the rooms feel welcoming rather than austere. Some include a patio, adding a private outdoor corner within the enclosed surroundings of the Old Town. Guests looking for more space and an added sense of occasion can choose the Executive Suite Rhodes with Hot Tub or Superior Suite Lindos with Hot Tub. Both build on the historic atmosphere of the hotel while introducing a private wellness feature that feels particularly appealing after a day exploring the city on foot. para-3 The 10GR Wine Bar is the social and culinary heart of the hotel. Its collection of more than 220 wine labels gives the experience real depth, with Greek bottles taking their place within a broader cellar designed for discovery rather than simply providing an extensive list. Wine is treated as part of the evening rather than an accompaniment added at the end. Tastings allow guests to explore different regions, grapes and producers, while thoughtful pairing brings greater context to the restaurant’s Greek and Mediterranean cooking. Dining remains intimate and focused, reflecting the scale of the property. Instead of moving between several venues, guests return to a single atmospheric setting where stone walls, carefully selected wines and a considered menu create the identity of the evening. Breakfast is served à la carte and combines local delicacies with familiar international choices. Vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options can be requested, giving the morning experience flexibility while retaining the personal quality that suits a hotel of this size. para-4 The greatest experience at 10GR is the Medieval City itself. The Street of the Knights, Palace of the Grand Master and Clock Tower are all close at hand, while Mandraki Port and the wider seafront can also be reached on foot. Guests can step outside without a fixed plan and allow the lanes, courtyards and fortified walls to determine the route. The hotel’s small scale makes it particularly well suited to travellers who want to spend their days exploring and return to somewhere with a strong identity. There are no sprawling communal areas competing with the destination; the rooms, wine bar and rooftop terrace provide a characterful base within one of Rhodes’ most historic quarters. Temporary art exhibitions and themed dining evenings occasionally bring another dimension to the property, while the surrounding island offers opportunities for diving, snorkelling, windsurfing, fishing and horse riding. The concierge can help guests shape their time around cultural interests, the coast or a combination of both. para-5 The rooftop sun deck provides the hotel’s most restorative space, rising above the enclosed stone interiors and opening towards the Old Town skyline. It is a natural place to pause between sightseeing and dinner, particularly later in the day as the light changes across the medieval buildings. Wellbeing here is found in the pace of the stay rather than a formal programme: an unhurried breakfast, time spent walking through the Old Town, a quiet hour on the terrace and an evening built around good food and carefully chosen wine. para-6 10GR Boutique Hotel & Wine Bar sits in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Medieval City of Rhodes, moments from the Street of the Knights, Clock Tower and Palace of the Grand Master. Mandraki Port is approximately 450 metres away, Elli Beach is within 1.1 kilometres and Rhodes International Airport is around 14 kilometres from the hotel.
