Our pick of the best beach hotels in Kos are a varied bunch. We've found some high-end luxury all-inclusive resorts, a smart design hotel and even a small property with just ten suites that oozes romance! Some spots are perfect for families with plenty going on, while others are quieter, adults-only escapes. 

For a romantic break

• Diamond Deluxe Hotel is an adults-only beachfront escape that feels made for couples. Book a swim-up room or splash out on a Diamond Suite with its own private pool. Days are spent between relaxing spa treatments at Mazarin Spa, lazy pool time and candlelit dinners at Peruzzi Mediterranean Restaurant.
• Quiet, spacious and adults-only, D'Andrea Lagoon is ideal if you want time together away from the crowds. Rooms come with oversized beds and private patios, while the private beach is perfect for slow days by the sea. Add sunset drinks, cooking classes and live music for a great mix of downtime and fun.
• Aqua Blu Hotel & Spa is a romantic choice, set right on Lambi Beach. Suites feel indulgent, with sea view balconies and some come with a private pool or hot tub. Spend the day by the pool or at the spa, then dress up for dinner at one of the hotel’s excellent restaurants before wandering into Kos Town.

• OKU Kos offers a laid-back beachfront escape with a wellness focus. Rooms feature earthy tones, timber beams and calming textures, while the private villas add extra seclusion and romance. Spend mornings at yoga in the beach shala, afternoons at the spa, and evenings at Kima Beach Club enjoying inventive dishes created from organic, local produce.
• Small, quiet and wonderfully private, White Pearls has just ten detached suites overlooking Lambi Beach, perfect for a couples' retreat. Some offer a private hot tub, while the infinity pool faces the Aegean Sea. Expect organic ingredients from the garden, relaxed BBQ nights and long bike rides along the coast together.

For total luxury

• Ikos Aria is a striking all-white retreat perched on Kos’s southwest coast. Suites filled with light deliver stunning Aegean views through the large windows and terraces.
