In short: We checked more than forty hotels on Rhodes. Sixteen call themselves adults-only on their own websites and take no guests under 16 (Lindos Blu sets 17), and they run from Ixia on the west coast to Lindos and Kiotari in the south-east, with most on the east coast.
Rhodes, the largest of the Dodecanese islands, has a wide choice of adults-only hotels, and most of them sit on its east coast.
They range from small garden hotels and hillside resorts above the bays around Lindos to quiet beach hotels at Kiotari and Kolymbia, design-led addresses around Faliraki and Kallithea, and an all-inclusive hotel on the beach at Ixia, near Rhodes Town.

1Cabú Hotel Adults Only
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: A design-led hotel on the Rhodes–Lindos road at Faliraki and a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, built, in its own words, for adults who value serenity; children are not accepted. Guests praise a warm team, a breakfast with a huge choice and a pool area with views. The beach is a drive away.
2Lindos Blu Luxury Hotel-Adults only
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: A hillside hotel above Vlycha Bay that its own collection presents as an adults-only escape; children under 17 are not accommodated. Terraced rooms look over the bay, maisonettes come with a private jacuzzi or plunge pool, and guests have direct access to a private beach, a spa and tennis. Expect plenty of steps.
3Caesars Gardens Hotel & Spa - Adults Only
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: Strictly adults-only from 16, as the hotel states itself, with just 23 rooms among gardens and rocky hills at Krana, about 1 km from Lindos village. Guests praise the staff, the Aegean-style rooms and the breakfast; some suites and bungalows have their own pool, and Magnolia Spa treatments take place outdoors.
4Ammades All Suites Beach Hotel & Spa - Adults Only
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: A beachfront all-suites hotel on the Kallithea road at Faliraki for guests aged 16 and over, where pool and beach sit side by side. Guests single out the spacious suites, some with a private pool, the breakfast by the sea and the Idolo Spa. Music from a neighbouring hotel can carry in the evening.
5Kouros Exclusive Suites - Adults Only
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: The hotel's own site says it accepts young adults from 16. A four-star boutique hotel a short walk from the sandy beach at Faliraki, with a lagoon-style pool, swim-up and private-pool suites and a team guests describe as exceptionally friendly. The rooms have no sea view.
6Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa
Rhodes, Greece
Food & restaurants: 60 of 60 mentions positive · Service & staff: 58 of 59 mentions positive
Why this rank: A premium all-inclusive beach resort at Kiotari that its group designs specifically for couples and adults, with a minimum age of 16. Guests highlight the varied dining, the full spa and the hotel's own stretch of Kiotari beach, which is pebbly. Speciality restaurants need booking, and the main towns are far away.
7Aquagrand Artistic Luxury Beach Resort - Adults Only
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: Right on the beach at Navarone Bay just outside Lindos, this resort calls itself adults-only and does not take children. Guests love the private beach with clear water for snorkelling, the calm and the large rooms, and some suites have a private pool. The pools are unheated, which shows in cooler weather.
8Casa Cook Rhodes
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: An adults-only hideaway for guests aged 16 and over in Kolymbia, close to Tsambika Beach, where many of the light, Scandinavian-style rooms open straight onto a private or shared pool. Guests praise the deep tranquillity, the warm staff and the food. A car is almost essential.
9Esperos Village Blue & Spa - Adults Only
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: A large hillside resort at Ammoudes near Faliraki for guests aged 16 and over, laid out like a village, with panoramic sea views from the pools, the restaurants and many rooms. Plenty of rooms have a private or shared pool, and the Idolo Spa is on site. The beach is modest and reached by shuttle.
10Boutique 5 Hotel & Spa - Adults Only
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: A compact hotel of 44 rooms by the beach at Kiotari, for guests aged 16 and over and sister to Mayia. Guests praise the attentive staff, the spacious sea-view rooms, the suites with private pools and the Aegeo Spa with its indoor pool; the beach area is a couple of minutes away. There is little to do nearby.
11Ella Elissa
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: An ultra all-inclusive resort at Kallithea that presents itself as an adults-only escape, for guests aged 16 and over. Guests praise outstanding service, the à la carte restaurants, a wide choice of pools and a private beach area, and some rooms have their own pool. It is a big resort with long walks.
12Atlantica Imperial Resort
Rhodes, Greece
Service & staff: 14 of 15 mentions positive · Food & restaurants: 9 of 9 mentions positive
Why this rank: A beachfront resort on a Blue Flag sandy beach in Kolymbia that calls itself a world created for grown-up moments, with a minimum age of 16. Private pool villas, pool gazebos and a spa with outdoor massage tables suit the concept, and guests value the calm and the three dining venues. The grounds are large.
13Port Royal Villas and Spa - Adults Only
Rhodes, Greece
Pools, beach & aquapark: 20 of 20 mentions positive · Food & restaurants: 12 of 12 mentions positive
Why this rank: Designed exclusively for adults, as its own site puts it, with a minimum age of 16 and direct access to a private beach in Kolymbia. Bungalows with private pools and hydromassage, two heated outdoor pools, an indoor pool and the Ethereal Spa make it a resort to stay put in. Pools can fill up in high season.
14Lindos Grand Resort & Spa - Adults Only
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: A hillside resort above Vlycha Bay for guests aged 16 and over, where most of the 181 rooms have their own pool. Guests praise the secluded bay with clear water, the warm staff and the choice of seven restaurants, along with a spa and the Dama Dama lounge. The paths are steep, and Lindos village is not within walking distance.
15Lindian Dream Seaside Resort - Adults Only
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: On the quiet bay of Psaltos near Lindos, and adults-only from 16 according to the hotel's own policies. The resort has its own beach area, a sea-view pool and a spa, and guests keep using the words peaceful and serene; breakfast wins praise too. Rooms show their age, and the sea entry is rocky.
16The Ixian Grand & All Suites - Adults Only
Rhodes, Greece
Why this rank: A west-coast option right on the beach at Ixia: an all-inclusive hotel that calls itself an adults-only seaside escape and does not take children. Guests praise the staff, the pools and private-pool suites and a choice of à la carte restaurants, including a Peruvian one. The beach is not sandy.

How we chose and ordered the hotels
We checked more than forty hotels and holiday properties on Rhodes, from Ixia in the north-west to Kiotari in the south-east. The sixteen that made the list are ordered by guest score. The order therefore tells you how satisfied guests have been, not which setting suits you best, so read the area guide below before you choose.
Each hotel had to state on its own website that it is adults-only. We used booking sites only to find the minimum age where the hotel's own pages did not give one. To qualify, a hotel had to accept guests from 16 at the youngest or have an explicit adults-only policy for the whole hotel. Hotels that only set an age limit of 12, 13 or 14, and adults-only zones inside family hotels, do not count.
Where to stay on Rhodes
Lindos and the bays around it have five of the hotels. Lindos Blu and Lindos Grand are terraced into the hillside above Vlycha Bay, Aquagrand sits on the beach at Navarone Bay just outside the village, Caesars Gardens lies among gardens at Krana about 1 km from Lindos, and Lindian Dream has the quiet bay of Psaltos almost to itself. The setting, with the Acropolis of Lindos above the white village, is the draw. The airport is, however, about 45 to 50 km away, and the hillside hotels mean plenty of steps.
Kiotari, further down the south-east coast, has Mayia and Boutique 5, sister hotels in the H Hotels group. It is the quietest stretch on the list, with little nearby beyond the beach, Lindos about 15 km to the north and the longest airport transfer.
Kolymbia, halfway between Rhodes Town and Lindos, has Casa Cook near Tsambika Beach and two beachfront resorts, Atlantica Imperial and Port Royal. The airport is under 20 km away, but a car helps if you want to eat out.
Faliraki, Kallithea and Ammoudes on the east coast nearer Rhodes Town have five hotels. Kouros is a short walk from the sandy beach and Faliraki's bars and restaurants, Ammades stands on the beachfront along the Kallithea road, Esperos covers a hillside at Ammoudes with a shuttle to the beach, Cabú lies on the Rhodes–Lindos road, and Ella Elissa is an all-inclusive resort at Kallithea. Rhodes Town is around 12 km away and the airport roughly 15 km.
Ixia on the west coast has The Ixian Grand, right on the beach and within easy reach of the medieval Old Town of Rhodes.
Hotels we reviewed but left out
- Lindos Village Resort & Spa, Lindos Bay Hotel (sold as 16+) and Rhodos Horizon Blu — adults-only, but below our guest-score floor.
- Kolymbia Bay Art Boutique Hotel and Cook's Club Kolymbia — adults-only, but simpler hotels outside the luxury segment.
- Amada Colossos Resort — adult zones and family zones inside the same resort.
- Sentido Apollo Blue in Faliraki and Elysium Resort & Spa in Kallithea — family hotels with adults-only pools or areas.
- Lindian Village Beach Resort, Mitsis Faliraki and Mitsis Selection Alila — family resorts with kids' clubs.
- Atrium Prestige and Atrium Palace — family hotels where children stay free.
- Lindos Mare — a calm hotel near Lindos, but it welcomes children of any age and its own site makes no adults-only claim.
- Elite Suites by Rhodes Bay in Ixia — now part of a hotel that is not adults-only.
- The other H Hotels on Rhodes, such as Lindos Princess and Rodos Princess — family hotels; in that group, only Mayia and Boutique 5 are adults-only.
A pattern worth knowing: several large resorts on Rhodes advertise adults-only pools or wings while also welcoming families. We only list hotels where the whole hotel is for adults and that say so themselves.
