Overview

Just like this gorgeous Greek island itself, Casa Cook Rhodes is a hotel of contrasts. Set against the backdrop of Tsambika Mountain, this totally chilled out hideaway is just a 10-minute walk to the beach and a 30-minute drive to the island capital’s Old Town. Its design blends a minimalist style with natural elements, featuring local colours, textures and materials in keeping with the surrounding landscape of olive groves and rocky hills. The overall effect is as relaxing as you’d hope, yet this is also a supremely sociable place to stay.

Location

Kolymbia Beach is just a stroll away (1.5km), while the secluded Tsambika Beach with its broad stretch of sand is a quick 10 minutes by car (6km). More of a thrill-seeker than a sunbather? You’re in luck, with watersports centres at both enticing you to make the most of the Med. Or you might like to join a guided hill hike from your hotel and see the coast from up high. But if you prefer your exercise at the gym, you’ll find everything you need in Casa Cook’s fantastic fitness room. For a change of pace and scenery, head to Rhodes Town, where you can explore the city’s medieval past.

Facilities

The 5-star Casa Cook Rhodes is an adult-only hideaway situated in Kolymbia within the Rhodes region. An utter poolside paradise awaits you here, alongside the hotel’s popular hangout, the Kitchen Club. With an island full of activities right on your doorstep, you can easily explore and live like an island local.

Room

All rooms are decked out in warm earthy tones and thoughtful touches. Some back out onto a private veranda with pool access, others have their own deck chairs or hammocks. Whichever you choose, you’ll have the space you need to kick back and unwind. For peak relaxation, book a private yoga class in the open-air shala, a countryside walk to the soothing Seven Springs, or a sailing excursion along the coastline. You’ll get double or twin beds, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, minibar (payable), safe and a shower room.

Sports & Entertainment

In need of invigorating your mind, body and soul? There’s no better way to do this than a yoga session. Begin or end your day with a yoga class at the hotel’s yoga shala. Taking place on the open-air terrace, you can perfect your poses in the warmth of the sunshine – you can also book one-to-one sessions if you like. Into your fitness? The hotel’s well-equipped gym will keep you on track with your workout routine and there’s also personal trainers if you need an extra boost. If this is the last thing you want to do on your holiday, lazy days around the pool are always welcome – why not quench your thirst with a signature Watermelon Cooler cocktail?

Dining & Bars

The hotel’s Kitchen Club is where the bar, restaurant and pool seamlessly merge and boasts a breezy beach style. From early morning until well into the evening, this is a prime spot for fresh and tasty delights and is also where the best of entertainment takes place. Inspired by local foods and Meze plates traditional to Greece, take your pick from meat and seafood options all grilled over a charcoal flame – there’s vegan options too, so you’ll always have both healthy and indulgent options to choose from.
