Overview

 
Set between green hillsides and the Aegean, Akti Palace Hotel is a polished All Inclusive Plus retreat on the edge of Kardamena. A near‑doorstep beach, sweeping sea views, five restaurants and a generous pool scene make this low‑rise resort ideal for families and couples who like plenty to do without sacrificing downtime. With kids’ clubs, a spa, water sports and access to facilities at neighbouring Akti Beach Club, days easily fill themselves.

Low-rise whitewashed blocks step gently down towards the sea, framing wide lawns, shimmering pools and soft Aegean light. Akti Palace Hotel feels like a self-contained seaside village, with hillside backdrops, modern rooms and a sociable central pool scene just moments from the beach. For couples and families seeking Kos’s relaxed south-east coast rather than the thick of town, Akti Palace Hotel delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 45 minutes from Kos International Airport (KGS) with a near-doorstep beach, hillside views and an All Inclusive Plus concept that takes the stress out of budgeting.
