Mitsis Rodos Village Beach Hotel and Spa

Mitsis Rodos Village Beach Hotel is an ultra-luxurious 5-star All Inclusive hotel in Kiotari, on the southern coast of Rhodes. Thanks to the elevated position, you can admire panoramic views of the clear blue Aegean or step down onto the sandy beach below. The main resort centre is just over 2km away. Here you will find a range of restaurants and bars where you can try local treats, such as baklava pastries.

You’ll be spoilt for choice with four pools - one indoors, two with freshwater and a further sea water option. Swimming lessons are also available for beginners. When you can tear yourself away from poolside bliss, get competitive on the tennis courts or head to the beach for archery, volleyball or football. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s also gymnastics, aerobics and water polo on offer.

Little guests can join the Mini Club offering a range of fun activities. They’ll have access to two kids’ pools, a playground, indoor movies, a games corner and an indoor playroom. All-day entertainment is on offer for the grown-ups, too, with live music, dancing shows and cocktail nights among the inclusions on the programme.

When the cocktails are calling, make a beeline for the beach bar. It’s just one of the five places you can enjoy light refreshments from 9am to 2am. And when you’re hungry, head for the pizza oven, serving up delicious handmade Italian slices on the beach from 10:30am to 6pm.

The main buffet restaurant is open 24 hours a day, allowing you to make the most of your All Inclusive perks. Choose between an indoor table or one on the balcony overlooking the pools. Those preferring a more formal dining experience can reserve a table at one of the four a la carte eateries. Whether you wish to devour Greek moussaka, Italian risotto, Mexican fajitas or Japanese uramaki, there’ll be something to make your mouth water. Then there’s the Gelateria, offering a mouthwatering menu of sweet and savoury crepes.

The onsite wellness spa offers a world of beauty and relaxation with two treatment rooms, a sauna and a steam bath. The menu includes treats such as a sea salts body scrub, sea foam exfoliation, thermal algotherapy and an Indian head massage. (Note that treatments require an appointment and incur an additional charge.)

All rooms are beautifully appointed, featuring air conditioning, satellite TV, a safe, mini fridge (restocked on alternate days) and a balcony or terrace with views over the garden or sea. Family options can cater for up to five people.

If you want to venture further afield, Lindos (14km away) is a fishing village dating back to the 6th century BC. You might like to wander the narrow winding streets intended to confuse any invading pirates or simply relax on the terrace of one of the many bars and restaurants. Alternatively, walk down to the sea for a swim in the sheltered cove, surrounded by a rocky headland, or make your way up to the hilltop Acropolis.
