Akti Beach Club
Kardamena | Kos, Greece
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Set among palms and lawns that roll almost straight onto the sand, Akti Beach Club is a big, upbeat All Inclusive Plus resort on Kos’ south coast. Think nine outdoor pools, non-stop entertainment, a dedicated adults-only wing and a long list of room types from simple doubles to maisonettes and shared-pool suites — all wrapped up in a Certified Sustainable Hotel that’s designed with families in mind but still gives couples calm corners to escape to.
From sunrise over the Aegean to family fun in the splash pools and cocktails in the adults-only zone, Akti Beach Club spreads out like a low-rise village between lush gardens and the beach. Multiple pool zones, wide lawns and a sandy shoreline mean there’s always space to unwind, whether you’re travelling with little ones, teens or just the two of you.
For couples and families seeking Kos’ laid-back beach life with resort-style facilities, Akti Beach Club delivers the perfect balance. It’s approximately 45 minutes from Kos International Airport, with a daily shuttle to lively Kardamena for harbour strolls, shopping and nights out. See more Greece holidays.

Location
Akti Beach Club is set on the south-east coast of Kos, just outside the buzzing resort of Kardamena. The hotel is separated from a long sweep of soft sand by a strip of gardens and a beachfront promenade, so you can go from sunbed to sea in moments. Kardamena itself blends laid-back days and lively nights, with a harbour, bars and clubs centred around the main square and Bar Street.
You’re close enough to dip into the action when you feel like it, yet far enough away to enjoy peaceful nights by the sea. The surrounding coast is big on watersports, boat trips and fishing, and there’s a picturesque path up to the old castle for those sunset views.
