Best Holiday Destinations in Rhodes for Every Traveller

The island of Rhodes is as diverse as it is beautiful. From bustling towns steeped in mediaeval charm to tranquil stretches of coastline, every destination paints a different picture of Greek island life. Below, we highlight the best holiday destinations in Rhodes — each matched to a travel style and complemented by the refined stays of H Hotels Collection, where applicable.

Rhodes Town – A Cultural Hub by the Sea

Rhodes Town is a destination where the past and present come together. Within its mediaeval walls, the Old Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — offers cobbled streets, the Palace of the Grand Master, and lively squares filled with cafés and shops. Outside the gates, Mandraki Harbour with its deer statues and Elli Beach create a lively waterfront scene.

For those who want proximity to both history and sea, Amus Hotel & Spa provides a sophisticated base. Located along the Blue Flag shores of Ixia, it offers all the comforts of a beach resort while being just minutes from the cultural heart of Rhodes Town.

Lindos – Iconic Beauty & Whitewashed Charm

Few places capture the romance of Rhodes like Lindos. Crowned by its dramatic Acropolis, this whitewashed village is a maze of cobbled alleys, rooftop restaurants, and boutique shops. It’s a picture-perfect destination for families, couples and culture lovers alike.

Just a short distance away in the neighbouring village of Lardos, Lindos Princess Beach Hotel & Spa offers a luxury stay inspired by the spirit of Lindos itself. Designed with a village-style layout that echoes the settlement’s iconic charm, this beachfront resort blends authenticity with modern comforts, making it one of the best holiday destinations in Rhodes for those who want to immerse in both local character and seaside leisure.

Kiotari – A Haven for Rhodes Beach Holidays

On the southeast coast, Kiotari is the ultimate choice for travellers who dream of long days on golden sands and vibrant all-inclusive resorts. With calm waters and expansive beaches, it’s perfect for families and couples seeking indulgence side by side.

H Hotels Collection is well represented here, with properties that range from the stylish, adults-only Boutique 5 Hotel & Spa and Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa, where elegance and romance take centre stage. Families love the all-inclusive Princess Andriana Resort & Spa, while Rodos Princess Beach Hotel also offers family-friendly fun with waterslides and activities.

Prasonisi – Adventure at the Edge of the Island

At the southern tip of Rhodes lies Prasonisi, a windsurfer and kitesurfer’s paradise. Known for its dramatic meeting of the Aegean and Mediterranean seas, it’s a destination where thrill-seekers can ride the waves against a backdrop of wild, unspoiled beauty. Even for non-surfers, Prasonisi’s unique landscape makes it worth the journey. Even if you are not staying close by, Prasonisi is just a 30-minute drive from Kiotari.
