Dimitra Beach Hotel and Suites

The Dimitra Beach Hotel and Suites couldn’t have picked a more perfect postcode if it tried. The hotel’s perched in a stunning beachfront spot on Kos’ south-eastern coast and comes with wide-angle views of the Aegean Sea. As if the fantastic location wasn’t enough, the hotel is also filled the rafters with facilities – think three pools, three restaurants, and four bars. And if you can be persuaded to leave this sanctuary-like spot, it’s just a 15-minute drive to Kos Town.

Days here revolve around the water. Hop between the three outdoor pools – one has a whirlpool bath, and another comes with a swim-up bar – they’re all edged by spacious sun terraces topped with pristine parasols and loungers. You’ll have sea views from the water, too. Travelling with little ones in tow? They’ll love the trio of children’s pools, the playground, and the hotel-run kids’ club. If you can tear yourself away from your sun lounger, you can try the likes of aqua aerobics and Pilates classes. There you'll find treatment rooms, an indoor heated pool with Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, as well as hair and beauty salon.
