Hotels in Kos

The island of Kos is a scene of rugged rolling hills, sandy beaches and blue seas, whitewashed villages and welcoming bars. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the relaxed atmosphere that is found across the region, and you can get among the bustling activity or escape along a tranquil nature walk.

Many tourists are drawn to the island for the warm and sunny weather experienced for much of the year, and others arrive to observe the abundance of historical artefacts that are still found in their original place. Kos was the home of notable ancient Greek physician and philosopher Hippocrates, and relics dating back to his time play a big part in the area’s appeal. Of course if you are looking for a lively scene you can find it in Kardamena, which is the islands clubbing resort.

Kardamena's lively reputation makes it a natural base for hotels to match. Atlantica Beach Resort Kos All Inclusive and Atlantica Mikri Poli Kos both put you close to the action with all-inclusive convenience, while Porto Bello Royal All Inclusive and Cabana Blu Hotel Suites offer a similar setup nearby. If you'd rather skip the nightlife scene without leaving the resort, Atlantica Belvedere Resort Adults Only gives you an adults-only alternative, and Akti Beach Club offers a more relaxed, beach-focused stay in the same area.

Over in Psalidi, the Kipriotis group has three hotels worth a look. Kipriotis Village Resort All Inclusive is the largest and best suited to families, Kipriotis Aqualand Hotel All Inclusive brings waterpark fun into the mix, and Kipriotis Hippocrates Hotel All Inclusive offers a slightly quieter stay within the same resort complex.

Prefer somewhere a little more low-key? In Marmari, D Andrea Lagoon All Suites Adults Only offers a quiet, adults-only suite stay away from the busier resorts. Blue Nest in Tigaki and Gaia Royal in Mastichari both make good bases if you want to be near the beach without the crowds.

Further out, Blue Lagoon Village in Kefalos sits at the quieter, western end of the island, while Hotel Platanista puts you right in Kos Town, within easy reach of the island's Hippocrates history and harbour.
