Blue Sea Holiday Village

Afandou | Rhodes, Greece

⭐⭐⭐⭐

 
Set footsteps from one of Rhodes’ longest beaches, Blue Sea Holiday Village in Afandou is purpose-built for family-friendly All Inclusive fun. With six pools, a full-on aqua park, food court-style dining and a big line-up of sports and activities, it’s the kind of place where you can drop the keys in the safe and let the resort do the rest. Kids get loops and slides, grown-ups get a spa and quiet indoor pool, and everyone gets easy access to the laid-back Afandou shoreline.

Think big bright pools, slides twisting into the sunshine and plenty of sunbathing space – Blue Sea Holiday Village is that classic Greek family resort with a modern twist. Low-rise whitewashed blocks are scattered around landscaped gardens, and the All Inclusive set-up keeps life delightfully simple. Dip between the aqua park and chilled-out adults’ indoor pool, break for gyros or gelato at the food court, then wander 200 metres to the uncrowded Afandou shoreline for late-afternoon swims.

For families and friends keen to mix Rhodes’ beach life with resort-style ease, Blue Sea Holiday Village strikes a sweet balance: you’re just 200m from Afandou’s long sand-and-shingle bay yet cocooned in a self-contained village with pools, slides, kids’ club and nightly entertainment. It’s around 1 hour 30 minutes from Rhodes Airport, so you’re settling into All Inclusive living not long after landing. See more Greece holidays.

Pool Areas and Beach

Water babies are spoilt for choice here. The resort has six outdoor freshwater pools, including three dedicated children’s pools, each with surrounding sunbathing terraces, sunbeds and parasols. Pool towels are provided free of charge.

The star of the show is the aqua park, which comes with slides and aqua loop slides for bigger kids and teens, and gentler options for younger guests. It generally operates from late April to late October, with set daily opening hours; age, height or weight restrictions can apply.

There’s also a heated indoor freshwater pool located within the spa area, reserved for adults and open during the main season – ideal for a quiet dip away from the splash zone.

Beyond the pools, it’s a short walk (around 200m) to Afandou Beach, a long sand-and-shingle stretch with clear water great for swimming and snorkelling, and a scattering of relaxed beach bars for drinks by the sea.
