Ultra Luxury Kos Holidays
Wrapped in by some of the most glorious stretches of sand in the Dodecanese, the island of Kos is packed with crystal-clear waters and jaw-dropping sights. With its stunning harbours, ancient ruins and vibrant nightlife, a more idyllic destination for a luxury Greek holiday is hard to imagine.
Do you want to see some modern remains of ancient Greece? All you have to do is look around. Everywhere you go, there are millennia-old Corinthian columns sprouting from the grass like trees, so commonplace that locals have become blasé about them. Around each corner, there’s another historic site to be discovered, so history buffs will be in their element.
Kos has updated itself since the time of Hippocrates (its most famous ancient Greek) and is now better known for paradisiacal beaches and lively nightlife. Sun worshippers had better get packing as there are miles of golden stretches for you to place your towel on from Kardamena and Kamari on the southern coasts to Mastihari on the north side.
Partygoers will be equally impressed by what’s on offer, with a plethora of bars, pubs and beach clubs, among other nightlife attractions. So whether you want to dance beneath the stars after a day spent in the water or sip on something Greek in a local hotspot, you’re bound to find the venue to fit your needs.
If you consider yourself a foodie, this little island packs a big punch of flavour. There’s a huge range of restaurants, street food stalls and markets from fine dining to local specialities such as the wine-soaked "Red Cheese".

Kos In A Nutshell
After Dark Destinations
If you’re looking for a place to party and let your hair down then call off the search because you’ve found it! Kos is reputed for being one of Greece’s top destinations for some fun-filled nights out on the town.
The well-known streets of Nafklirou and Diakonou in Kos town are the places to head for traditional bars and clubs. Here you can experience a bit of the local interpretation of fun as well as a more familiar revel scene.
For something a little different, why not steer your feet along the shores leading to Lambi, where you’ll find beach bars, clubs and parties galore with venues such as Kavo Paradiso, Baltic Beach Bar and Beach Bar King Size.
Adventure Awaits
With waters as clear as those of Kos, it would be a sin not to try your hand at some watersports during your stay. Scuba diving, snorkelling, jet skiing and loads more activities are available at almost every beach so you can turn a lazy seaside trip into an adrenaline-fuelled adventure.
Although Kos has everything you need and more, you might want to take advantage of the easy access to Rhodes, Nissyros and Pserimos and plan an adventurous day trip. A particularly fun way to travel between these neighbouring regions is by speedboat or yacht.
Want to see more of that gorgeous Kos countryside? Then book yourself onto a horse trail tour where you’ll be able to travel far and wide astride some of Greece’s most renowned equestrian steeds.
Walk the streets of Kos Town, redesigned by Italians in 1933 after an earthquake destroyed much of it. Check out the ruins of Antimacheia Castle and bask in the powerful energy of the Asclepion, the most important healing centre of the ancient world.
Life’s a Beach
By far the best beach for every style of traveller whether you have kids in tow, are planning a solo boat trip or even want to enjoy a quiet get-together with friends, Paradise Beach is long, sandy and stunning. There are plenty of sun beds for adults, watersports for kids and eateries for the hungry.
For surfing enthusiasts who are searching for the perfect wave conditions, we recommend Kardamena and Kefalos as the best waters for riding the tides. Equally popular with water sports lovers are the beaches of Tagaki, Mastihari and Lambi.
Want to get away from it all and enjoy a bit more isolation in your seaside getaway? The sandy stretches on the west side of the island come commended as being peaceful and stunning but without the amenities and crowds of the more popular haunts.
Pair wellness with a beach day and head to Therma Beach. Walk across the black volcanic pebbles and jump into the soothing waters. There, you'll find water temperatures of 40-50 degrees Celsius thanks to the thermal spring welling up into the sea.
