Map & location
Mastichari, Kos, Greece
Gaia Palace sits in a tranquil area on the north-west coast of Kos, just outside the small resort of Mastichari. The setting is classic Dodecanese: whitewashed buildings trimmed with blue, vineyards and wild thyme in the hills behind, and a long stretch of sandy shoreline a short stroll away.
Mastichari itself is a charming fishing harbour with traditional tavernas, low-key beach bars and regular ferries across to the neighbouring island of Kalymnos – perfect for a day trip if you fancy swapping pool time for sea breezes and mountain views.
- • Beach 500m
- • Mastichari resort centre 5km
- • Bus stop to Kos Town 50m
- • Kos Town around 20–25km

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
If you’re a pool person, Gaia Palace more than delivers. The resort has three outdoor freshwater pools, each with a dedicated children’s section so families can splash and play without disturbing those seeking quiet laps. Wide sun terraces with loungers and parasols wrap around the water, and one pool features an integrated whirlpool section for lazy soaks.
Inside the spa complex, there’s an indoor freshwater pool plus a baby section – a handy retreat on breezy days or if you just want a change of scene.
The nearest beach is a broad sandy strip about 500m away. This part of the coast is known for its relatively shallow entry and sea breezes, making it appealing for both kids and watersports fans.
Spa, sports & wellness
Wellness is taken seriously here. The spa (18+) offers a sauna, steam room and whirlpool, plus a menu of massages and beauty treatments (local charges apply).
Active guests can work out in the air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio machines, free weights, fixed strength equipment and a stretching area, usually open from morning into the evening in main season. The activity line-up typically includes:
• Aqua aerobics
• Basketball and volleyball
• Mini-golf (chargeable), petanque and table tennis
• Tennis (local charge for equipment/courts may apply)
Families benefit from an on-site kids’ clubhouse (minimum age 4, seasonal programme) and a shaded children’s playground with swings and slides. Practical touches include a 24-hour reception, concierge-style assistance, luggage storage and equipment hire such as kettles and mobility scooters (on request, charges may apply).

Food & drink
The heart of Gaia Palace’s All Inclusive is its main buffet restaurant, serving a generous mix of Greek favourites and international crowd-pleasers for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect live cooking stations, a kids’ corner with buffet options, highchairs and handy microwaves for families.
Evenings start or end at the lobby bar, open into the early hours in high season, or at the pool bar for long, lazy sundowners by the water. Drinks span local wines and beers to spirits and soft drinks, with hot drinks available throughout the day. A smart dress code (long trousers for gentlemen at dinner) usually applies.
All Inclusive covers buffet meals, snacks between meals for at least three hours per day, and a selection of local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks typically until midnight – exact times and inclusions can change seasonally. For context on inclusions, see what All Inclusive typically includes.
