Overview

 
Perched on a gentle hillside above the fishing village of Mastichari, Kouros Palace Hotel pairs widescreen Aegean views with an easy All Inclusive rhythm. Four pools, a family-friendly atmosphere and a quiet, rural setting make it a strong choice if you like your Greek-island holidays relaxed rather than rowdy. Wander down to the sandy beach, hop over to Kalymnos for the day, then be back in time for sunset cocktails and long, sociable dinners under the stars.

Whitewashed buildings stepped down the hillside, palm-framed pools and open views to the Aegean – Kouros Palace Hotel looks and feels like a classic Greek escape. Families gravitate to the lagoon-style pools and beach taverna, while couples find quiet corners in the gardens and rooftop restaurant. The mood is friendly and low-key, with an All Inclusive programme that keeps days easy from breakfast buffets through to relaxed evening entertainment. For couples and families seeking Kos’s gentler side, Kouros Palace Hotel hits a sweet spot: a peaceful hillside setting, sea views and a sandy shore around 250m away, all wrapped in a straightforward All Inclusive package. It’s around 30 minutes from Kos International Airport (KGS). See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Mastichari, Kos, Greece

Kouros Palace Hotel sits on a low hillside on the outskirts of Mastichari, a traditional little harbour village on Kos’s north-west coast. Think whitewashed houses with blue shutters, vine-draped lanes and a long, gently shelving beach.

The setting is quiet and scenic, with countryside swirling around the resort and views across the water to Kalymnos on clear days. Down at the harbour you’ll find tavernas, cafés and fast ferries to neighbouring islands for easy day trips – an island-hop to Kalymnos takes around 20 minutes.

Mastichari is also well placed for exploring Kos: head east for the island’s capital, Kos Town, with its castle and buzzy waterfront, or inland to hill villages and vineyards for a more traditional feel.

  • • Beach 250m
  • • Mastichari resort centre & harbour 2.5km
  • • Kos Town around 22km
  • • Ferries to Kalymnos from Mastichari harbour 20 minutes
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 30 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Kouros Palace Hotel is very much built around the water, with four outdoor freshwater pools including two dedicated children’s pools.

Two main pools are framed by broad sun terraces, palms and low-rise buildings, with plenty of sunbeds and parasols. Two shallow children’s pools sit close by so parents can relax while keeping an eye on little ones. Fresh pool towels are provided free of charge.

Down the hill, the sandy beach waits for barefoot walks, sandcastle-building and swimming in clear, gently shelving water – ideal for families. A beach taverna and bar complete the scene, and seasonal water-based activities are often available nearby for an additional charge.

Spa, sports & wellness


Active guests are well catered for, with an on-site gym featuring cardio machines, fixed-strength equipment and a free weights area (minimum age 18, typically open 08:00–20:00, seasonal).

Organised activities can include aqua aerobics, basketball, darts, five-a-side football, table tennis, tennis and yoga sessions, ideal if you like a bit of structure to your days.

There’s an on-site spa area offering massage treatments (charges apply; minimum age 18; usually open daytime during the main season), perfect for an hour of downtime while the kids are at the club.

Entertainment is low-key but sociable. Expect:

• Daily daytime activities in summer (roughly June–September) with games, sports and family-focused fun
• Regular but more relaxed daytime activities in spring and autumn
• Occasional evening entertainment throughout the year – from bingo and quizzes to karaoke, live DJs, mini-discos and live music or professional shows (exact programme varies by season and occupancy)

Other useful facilities include a 24-hour reception with currency exchange (local charges may apply), luggage storage and a shuttle bus service, which often links the hotel with the beach or resort area when running.
