Ultra Luxury Rhodes Holidays

With golden sandy beaches thronging the coastline and lush forests cloaking the island’s mountains and hills, Rhodes is a stunning location for a holiday whether you’re travelling with family or a loved one, and the typical Greek atmosphere of relaxation and leisure is as strong here as anywhere.

Rhodes boasts more than 30 beaches, ranging from the iconic Faliráki, which is always packed with sun-worshippers, to smaller coves and inlets such as Fournou and Plimiri. Many hotels can offer exclusive access to private sections of the beaches.

There is impressive nightlife here, and the town of Rodos in particular offers a wealth of bars to keep party animals entertained. The most popular spots are on the far northern cape adjacent to Elli Beach, where Casino Rodos has been an emblem of the island since opening in 1999. For a more authentically Greek night out, head into the mediaeval citadel Platía Aríonos, where a number of locally owned bars offer live music and an unbeatable atmosphere.

History buffs will also love Rhodes thanks to its history dating back three millennia. At Rodos and Lindos, a captivating acropolis and Temple of Athena pay testament to the ancient Greek presence on the island. Medievalists have a wealth of material to study, with the towering Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes taking a commanding position above Rodos.

Food-wise, Rhodes is as rich as the rest of Greece, with a range of succulent seafood dishes and delectable desserts. One local speciality is Pitaroudia—a tasty chickpea dumpling the size of your fist, flavoured with tomato, pepper and mint.

Rhodes In A Nutshell

Life’s A Beach

Rhodes is one of the best destinations for sunshine and relaxation. Among the most popular beaches is Faliráki. It offers gorgeous views over the Mediterranean to the horizon and five kilometres of golden sands, fringed by luxurious hotels and exquisite cafés and restaurants.

For a more restful, serene seaside experience, Plimiri Beach in the south of the island has around two kilometres of uninterrupted golden sand, several miles from the nearest town.

Prasonisi on the southern tip of Rhodes is a sporting centre of the Dodecanese, with windsurfing and kitesurfing being hot on the menu. 70 acres of rolling dunes are at your disposal, connecting Prasonisi Islet to the Rhodian mainland, creating the perfect spot for sunbathing, picnicking and watersports.

Soak Up The Culture

In the heart of Rodos is the glamourous Macao Lounge, where ambient lighting and live music will enhance any evening through the night until closing time. It’s the place to go for a laid-back time with friends, and its location on Platía Aríonos places it at the centre of Rodos’ authentic Greek nightlife.

To the ancients, Rhodes was the Island of the Sun, where leisure never stopped and rich culture and partying continued through the night. Today it is no different. The prime spot to go for merriment and fun is the northern quarter of Rodos town, between the ancient citadel and Elli Beach. It’s a district packed full of casinos, clubs and bars.

There’s more to Rhodes than bars and beaches—millennia of culture and history have shaped a vibrant society. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Rhodes Town with its mediaeval citadel and an ancient acropolis. Lindos boasts an equally impressive acropolis with a partially complete Temple of Athena as well as a mediaeval castle built by the Knights of St. John, who occupied the island for 250 years.

Family Fun Guaranteed

For a day trip to remember, head to Petaloudes Valley. It's a stunning location at the best of times, but from May to September it's home to thousands of Rhodian Tiger Moths, whose bright orange pigment contrasts with the green surroundings. They are attracted by the aroma of the zitia trees, and the best time to visit is towards the evening, as the butterflies carpet the tree trunks.

An iconic emblem of the island is the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes. The fortress was the centre of the government of the Knights of St. John from 1309 until 1544. Built during the 7th century by the Byzantines, the citadel passed through many hands before it was opened to the public as a museum in 1948.

Visit the Eden-like Epta Piges in the heart of the island—a fairy-tale network of meandering pathways and streams in a lush, cool valley. Seven springs spurt from the hillsides, culminating in a serene lake accessible through an atmospheric tunnel.
