Casa Cook, Rhodes

At the foot of Tsambika Mountain on the east coast of Rhodes, Casa Cook Rhodes is an adults only retreat where swim up rooms, earthy interiors and a sociable poolside heart bring an easy, bohemian spirit to the island.

Water shapes the hotel from almost every angle. Long pools thread between the low rise buildings, passing directly in front of terraces and creating a landscape where rooms, gardens and swimming areas seem to merge into one another. Olive trees, palms and rugged hills soften the architecture, while timber, stone and natural fabrics give the interiors a warmth that feels particularly at home in this part of Rhodes.

The atmosphere is relaxed and deliberately social. Days revolve around the pools and the Kitchen Club, with music, food and drinks providing a gentle backdrop rather than dividing the hotel into separate spaces. It gives Casa Cook a distinctive energy: somewhere to switch off completely when you want to, but with enough life around you to make staying at the hotel all day genuinely appealing.

Rooms & Suites

The rooms and suites carry the same natural palette indoors, combining tactile fabrics, woven details, timber and muted tones with terraces designed to be properly lived in. The strongest connection is with the water, particularly in the Deluxe Swim Up Twin Rooms, where the terrace steps straight into the pool and an early morning swim becomes almost irresistible.

Suites introduce more room to spread out, with Split Level and Loft Suites creating distinct living and sleeping spaces. The Executive Suite offers another generous option, while Deluxe Twin Rooms with Premium Veranda place the emphasis firmly on outdoor living.

For greater privacy, the Suite with Private Pool gives you your own stretch of water and terrace away from the shared pools. Whichever category you choose, the accommodation feels very much part of the wider Casa Cook landscape, with outdoor space playing as important a role as the room itself.

Dining

The Kitchen Club is much more than the hotel restaurant. It is the place Casa Cook naturally gravitates towards throughout the day, bringing the restaurant, bar, pool and lounge together in one open setting where breakfast can lead into a lazy lunch and afternoon drinks can easily become dinner.

The food draws on Greek and Mediterranean flavours alongside international influences, with local ingredients, sharing plates and mezze fitting naturally with the informal atmosphere. The approach suits the setting beautifully: good food designed to be enjoyed slowly, with no particular reason to rush away from the table.

As evening arrives, cocktails and music shift the mood without changing it completely. Resident DJs and laid back beats give the poolside spaces a little more energy after dark, making the Kitchen Club somewhere guests genuinely want to return to rather than simply the place where meals are served.

Experience

The pools are central to life at Casa Cook, from the large shared swimming areas to the long ribbons of water outside the swim up rooms. Sun terraces, loungers and shaded seating are scattered throughout, so the hotel never feels dependent on a single poolside scene.

The landscape beyond the hotel adds another dimension. Tsambika Mountain rises immediately behind Kolymbia and the surrounding hills provide excellent walking country, while cycling, tennis and organised excursions offer plenty of reasons to head out. The broad sands of Tsambika Beach are around 1.7 kilometres away for a change from the pool.

Open air yoga is particularly well suited to the setting, bringing the mountain backdrop and warm Rhodes mornings into the experience. Cooking classes and guided walks add further options, while the concierge can help arrange days on the water and trips around the island.

Wellness

The spa continues the hotel’s easygoing approach with massages, body treatments and wellness packages, complemented by a fitness centre, personal training and yoga. Treatments provide a quieter counterpoint to the sociable pool areas, while the surrounding landscape makes outdoor movement feel every bit as natural as time spent in the spa.

Where

Casa Cook Rhodes is located in Kolymbia on the island’s east coast beneath Tsambika Mountain, with Tsambika Beach around 1.7 kilometres away and Rhodes International Airport approximately 19 kilometres from the hotel.
