Lindos Mare Hotel

Lindos Mare Hotel details

With widescreen views over the Aegean, the Lindos Mare has the lot - a fabulous setting, great service and soft sands below.

This cliffside hotel has helped itself to some of the best views in Rhodes. Looking out over Vlicha Bay, it stands out above a golden beach and the satin-blue Aegean. And if you look upwards, there’s even a Medieval castle silhouetted on a faraway hill. The location borders on perfect in a practical sense, too. Although the nearest village is Vlicah, Lindos is just a couple of kilometres up the road.

The hotel is rather impressive, as well. Modern in an understated way, it showcases the stellar sea views. Wrapped around the main building is an à la carte restaurant where the panoramas almost come and sit down with you at your table. And the pool bar is the same. Furnished in bistro-style wicker, it’s got its own chunk of wall-to-wall views.

As to the pool itself, it’s set into a terrace carved into the cliff. Chic sunloungers and parasols sit in the sun or under trailing willows and bougainvillea. Otherwise, take a series of lifts or the footpath down to the beach.

In terms of the rooms, expect a colour palette of pale lavenders and fern-greens teamed with slick modern styling and lots of natural light. All the usual in-room gadgets are in place, too - satellite TVs, mini-fridges and air-conditioning.
