With an average of 300 days of uninterrupted sunshine per year, Rhodes is a no-brainer for a sun-drenched getaway. Picturesque harbours, mediaeval ruins, whitewashed homes speckling the coastline, cypresses and stunning sea views make the island a visual and cultural feast. And there is perhaps no better place to stay than Lindian Village Beach Resort Rhodes, the new five-star haven from Curio Collection by Hilton.
A certified carbon-neutral hotel that combines easy-on-the-eye bohemian style with traditional Grecian architecture, the property is set to open on 15 May 2023. Located a stone’s throw from the hilltop fishing village of Lindos – famed for its breathtaking acropolis and donkey rides along winding paths – the resort immerses guests in the very soul of the island. Panoramic views of land and sea will leave you eager to hike the Dodecanese hills or set sail to neighbouring islets to explore their ancient ruins.
That said, the hotel’s breathtaking private beach, freshwater pools and lush botanical gardens could make leaving Lindian Village a challenge. The suites are havens of calm, decorated in earthy hues with windows overlooking serene waterways and swaying pines. Start your day on the tennis courts, with a yoga session overlooking the Aegean, or a personal-training session at the state-of-the-art gym. Or unwind at the Calli Spa, enjoy uninterrupted holiday reading on secluded sands, or join a pottery or cocktail-making class. For a week every month from June to September, wellness seekers can be rejuvenated with mindfulness mentor Angelica Roseclove, whose practice is inspired by the nine muses of Greek mythology. Children can embark on their own discovery adventures at the Waves Kids’ Club. Like its island home, the hotel has many ways to reconnect and enjoy nature.
The concept for Lindian Village’s eight bars and restaurants was designed by Trastelis Group, which has two Michelin-starred venues to its name. There’s local produce at Estia or Alas Ouzeri for Rhodian delicacies and traditional Greek dishes with a contemporary twist. At Niku, you can sample expertly crafted Asian fusion – from fresh sea bass ceviche to beef teriyaki with truffle purée – an unstuffy yet sophisticated atmosphere; while L’Onda, the hotel’s Italian trattoria, serves unbeatable pizzas and classics such as e spaghetti vongole paired with specially selected wines. For something even more easygoing but no less delicious, head to Helios pool pergola for a poke bowl then make a beeline to the hotel’s gelateria for fresh loukoumades (honeyed doughnuts) topped with ice cream.
With arts and cookery classes, cinema and astronomy nights, boat trips and scuba diving, you’ll be spoiled for choice every sun-filled day and night. Lindian Village is the perfect choice for everyone who yearns for an unforgettable Greek getaway.
