The Top 27 Hotels Near D Maris Bay



  1. A six-room boutique hotel inside a medieval house that a local family pulled back from dereliction, deep in the old walled city of Rhodes. The connection to the Knights of Saint John is still readable in the bones. It runs more bed and breakfast than full hotel, which means breakfast is excellent and your hosts have opinions about the island. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.


  2. Forty-five suites on a Rhodes seafront, adults-only, with a Michelin Guide Key to its name. Ammades sits in a sweet spot between boutique and full resort, offering the calm of a small property without stripping away the comforts. Two restaurants handle different moods, one higher-end, one for barefoot lunches by the water. The absence of children and the modest suite count keep the atmosphere quiet enough that "tranquil" doesn't feel like a euphemism.


  3. A champagne and chocolate bar is just table stakes at this art-forward all-inclusive resort on Turkey's Aegean coast. Eight dining venues, none of them buffet-style, serve food included in the rate, while the pool situation splits between a private lagoon off certain rooms and a full waterpark on the grounds. Adults who want a DJ set drift to Indigo Beach Club; children apparently have a Lego robotics room, which settles most family arguments before they start.



  4. White geometric blocks stacked against raw limestone hills make Casa Cook Rhodes look less like a beach resort and more like a very photogenic fever dream. Suites open onto terraces with shared or private pool access, and the interiors run rattan, raw concrete, and woven linen throughout. The vibe is hammock-and-cocktail by day, low-key DJ set by evening, which suits the crowd who packed light but packed well.


  5. A resident DJ shifts the mood from poolside drift to something louder as the afternoon goes on, and that arc is basically the whole philosophy here. Cook's Club Kolymbia is an adults-only resort on the east coast of Rhodes, with boho-toned rooms, two palm-flanked pools, and three restaurants cycling through Greek, Italian, and Asian street food. Kolymbia's beach is a short walk away for anyone who manages to leave.


  6. Olive and pine trees slope down to Paradise Bay on all sides, which makes it easy to forget you're at a Forbes Five Star resort on the Aegean and not simply someone's very large, very lucky hillside estate. The property runs to nearly 150 acres, with two private beaches, four pools, a full spa, and eleven food and drink options, so the question of whether to leave rarely comes up. Villas and apartments with private pools suit families well.







  7. A Hippocratic Tea Bar sets the tone at this all-suite wellbeing resort on the Aegean coast of Kos, where the spa draws on ancient Greek ideas about water and herbs as medicine. Rooms run to white and pale wood, most with a private pool and sea views that do half the therapist's job for free. The YDΩR SPA anchors everything, with an indoor pool, steam room, and botanical oil massages. Restaurant Thyme handles the nutritional side; Elixir pours the herbal mocktails.


  8. An eight-room hotel steps from Kos's port, Albergo Gelsomino cuts an Art Deco silhouette along the seafront that has been catching eyes since before anyone alive can remember. The rooms look out over the Aegean, and the beach club below gives you a reason to stay horizontal all afternoon. Small enough to feel like someone's well-appointed house, relaxed enough that it doesn't feel precious about it. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Key.




  9. Near-monochrome minimalism from lobby to balcony sets the tone at this adults-only boutique hotel sitting across the road from Lambi Beach. The 54 rooms run from generously sized doubles with furnished terraces up to suites with outdoor jacuzzis and plunge pools. An L-shaped pool anchors the daytime scene, the spa handles the rest, and the in-house restaurant covers Greek and pan-Mediterranean dinners. Michelin awarded it one Key.






  10. A Michelin Selected hotel on Lambi Beach, a short drive from Kos town, that runs adults-only, which explains the particular hush around the pools. Eighty-eight suites means it's not a boutique secret, but the generous terraces, roof decks, and private pools on some units spread people out enough that it rarely feels that way. The Ef-Zin spa and two in-house restaurants give guests a convincing case for never leaving.



  11. A seafront hotel on Lambi Beach where the room design, the pool, the bar, and the restaurant all point stubbornly toward the water, as if the Aegean might leave if nobody watched it. Floors-to-ceiling windows, bright white interiors, and private terraces do their part. The island is also the birthplace of Hippocrates, which gives you something suitably ancient to do before returning to the lounger. Open April through October.
