Lindos Imperial Resort & Spa

Lindos Imperial Resort & Spa is a 5 star All Inclusive hotel, with direct access to Kiotari Beach. There really is something for everyone here with four outdoor pools, two kids pools, waterslides, a spa, fitness centre, library, mini and teen clubs, plus a full evening entertainment programme. And if that wasn’t enough you can join a ceramic art class, where you can create your own tile to take home as a souvenir of your holiday in Rhodes.

The onsite boccia, tennis and beach volleyball courts are available free of charge during the day, so reserve a time slot to avoid disappointment. There’s also yoga and aquafit sessions. For a surcharge, you can hire a personal trainer. Or, if you prefer to exercise in natural beauty you shouldn’t miss the chance to join the weekly organised hike.

Early birds can pay a visit to the Belvedere restaurant for coffee and cake, served between 5 and 7am. From 7 the main breakfast service starts, continuing until 10:30. After that there’s a continental service for late risers, followed by lunch and dinner.

To give you the opportunity to sample a wide range of delicious dishes during your stay, there’s also a selection of five further eateries for your evening meal. Choose from Italian, pan-Asian, Greek meze, Mexican tapas and seafood. The latter is located on the beach - what could be more fitting? To dine at one of the specialty restaurants you’ll need to reserve a table, with three meals included as part of your All Inclusive allowance (for stays of at least seven nights).

During the afternoon you’ll find a range of tasty hot and cold light bites on offer on the beach. Further options for lunch or a middle-of-the-day snack are found in the form of a noodle bar, a souvlakeri counter and a crepe stall. If you’re a foodie, why not join the organised Grecian cooking class, where you’ll learn to make melekouni, a traditional Rhodian treat made using sesame seeds and thyme honey?

When it’s time for a refreshing drink there’s a choice of three poolside bars serving tea, coffee, alcoholic and soft drinks. A further option to grab a beverage is located in the lobby - it remains open until 1am. But if you want to accompany drinking with dancing visit the Disco - open from 9pm.

Superior rooms provide a generous 27m2 of space and feature a balcony or terrace, plus a bath or shower. Bottled water is included in the mini fridge. Swimmers might take the opportunity to upgrade to the swim-up option or for an extra bit of privacy, your own private pool. Family rooms feature double or twin beds, plus two sofa beds, with sliding doors between them. For the most luxurious stay book a Suite with a Jacuzzi®.

If you’re feeling fit you can climb to the summit of Lindos Acropolis (13km away), where you can view the remains of temples from the 4th century BC. As you’re just 50km from the Old Town of Rhodes, you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to see this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you can see the remains of castles, temples and fortifications. You can also view colourful restored mosaics at the Palace of The Grand Master of The Knights, including one dated from the 2nd Century BC. On the way back you may choose to stop off at Kalithea Springs, where sightseeing and relaxation can be combined. Admire the beauty of the restored spa buildings, originally built by the Italians in 1928. For those interested in history, there’s an exhibition detailing bygone times. While for those interested in relaxing there’s sunbeds and ice-cold drinks.
