Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
We prioritise five-star classification and a demonstrable record of high guest satisfaction. As a general benchmark, overall scores of 9.0 or above — or the equivalent of 4.5 out of 5 or higher — with consistent quality over time. We also take into account awards, reliable service delivery and professional operational standards.
Distinctive features
Hotels in our selection offer added value in the form of private or shared infinity pools, adult-only zones, signature spas with well-regarded product ranges, sommelier-led wine programmes and the destination's strongest gourmet restaurants. We also recognise architectural merit, a distinct design identity and experiences such as private boat charter, sunrise yoga and curated cultural excursions.
Location and surroundings
Address matters enormously: beachfront positioning (preferably Blue Flag), a southerly or easterly aspect for morning and evening sun, safe access on sloping terrain and a reasonable transfer from Rhodes Airport. We ensure the location suits the intended guest — the secluded southern coast for peace and quiet, Kallithea and Ixia for easy access to Rhodes town, and Lindos for its iconic views.
Frequently Asked Questions
Lindos for dramatic views and adult tranquillity; Kallithea for a beachfront position within easy reach of Rhodes town; and Ixia and Ialyssos for sunset vistas and straightforward access to restaurants and shops.
Yes — several top hotels operate on an adults-only basis or have separate adult-only zones, making them ideal for couples in search of peace and quiet.
Allow between 20 and 60 minutes depending on which part of the coast you are heading to and the traffic. The Lindos area is the furthest away, while Kallithea and Ixia are the closest.
Not necessarily if you are staying at a beach resort — many hotels arrange transfers and excursions. That said, a car is very handy for exploring the southern coast at your own pace.
Premium sea-view rooms often deliver the same outlook as a suite at a considerably lower price. In the shoulder season, a suite upgrade can be surprisingly cost-effective.
At the luxury end, many hotels offer world-class cuisine with a focus on local produce and wine lists that champion Greek varietals.
Book six to nine months ahead for suites with a private pool. For premium rooms, three to four months is generally sufficient for May, June, September and October.
Rhodes Old Town is an absolute must, with its medieval walls and the Knights' Quarter. Lindos enchants with its whitewashed houses and majestic acropolis. Faliraki is well known for its lively atmosphere and long sandy beaches. Kallithea impresses with its historic thermal baths and crystal-clear coves. Filerimos offers fascinating history and sweeping views across the island. And Butterfly Valley provides a wonderfully unusual natural experience, with thousands of butterflies present throughout the summer months.
