Overview

 
Tucked right on the sands of Faliraki, Apollo Blue blends modern, low-rise architecture with big Aegean views and an easy, barefoot-to-beach lifestyle. Expect two freshwater pools, a serene spa, contemporary rooms (some with shared or private pools) and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere that still feels smart enough for couples. Choose All Inclusive or Half Board and spend your days drifting between the beach, pool and taverna.

Wake up to the sound of the sea, wander straight from the pool terrace onto Faliraki’s long sandy beach and watch the sky blaze orange over the Aegean each evening. Apollo Blue feels polished but peaceful, with calm, contemporary interiors, wide-open lawns, and low-rise buildings that frame those all-important views. For couples and families seeking Greece’s island charm with everything close to hand, Apollo Blue delivers effortlessly. It’s set right on the beachfront in Faliraki and around 1 hour 25 minutes from Rhodes (RHO) airport by road. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Faliraki, Rhodes, Greece

Apollo Blue enjoys a privileged spot in Faliraki on Rhodes’ east coast, opening straight onto a long stretch of sand and gently shelving sea. The immediate vibe is laid-back and beachy, yet you’re just a short walk from bars, cafés and tavernas if you fancy a change of scene.

Spend lazy days on the Blue Flag sands, head to the nearby waterpark for family thrills, or drive up the coast for quiet coves and viewpoints. Faliraki itself has softened in recent years – its legendary nightlife is still there but much more contained, leaving plenty of space for relaxed seaside holidays.

  • • Beach beachfront (direct access)
  • • Nearest bars and restaurants 200m
  • • Faliraki resort centre 1.9km
  • • Rhodes Town (old town & harbour) 14–15km
