On Rhodes’ south-east coast, Gennadi Grand Resort fronts a long, tranquil sweep of Blue Flag coastline. The once-sleepy fishing village of Gennadi still feels authentic, with whitewashed houses, old churches and a handful of tavernas and cafés serving homely Greek dishes.

From here it’s easy to explore: head north to postcard-pretty Lindos with its Acropolis and cobbled alleys, or venture to UNESCO-listed Rhodes Town where medieval walls and the harbour create one of the island’s most atmospheric day trips. Back at the resort, nights are about sunset cocktails, stargazing and the soft hush of the Aegean.

Beach: beachfront (direct access)
Gennadi resort centre: approx. 1km
Lindos: approx. 23km
Rhodes Town (Old Town & harbour): approx. 65km

With eight restaurants and five bars, dining is a real highlight at Gennadi Grand Resort.

The main Filoxenia buffet restaurant lays on generous spreads for breakfast, lunch and dinner with show-cooking stations and rotating themes. Level 2, an exclusive rooftop breakfast restaurant for suite guests, starts the day with panoramic sea views.

The à la carte line-up covers everything from modern Greek at Ouzo and refined tasting menus at Edesma, to Mediterranean/Italian favourites at Ten2One, steakhouse cuts at STK, beachside bites at Alati and relaxed lunches at Ble. Expect a smart dress code in the evenings and advance reservations for the most popular venues.

Bars include a chilled beach bar, Wet Bar for poolside snacks, a stylish gin bar and the atmospheric Grand Bar for pre-dinner aperitifs or late-night cocktails. All Inclusive Plus guests enjoy a dine-around programme in selected à la cartes, snacks by the pool and beach, and selected international branded drinks from morning until midnight – ideal if you like variety without thinking about the bill. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Pool days are taken seriously here. The resort features four outdoor freshwater pools, including a dedicated children’s pool, each with generous sunbathing terraces, sunbeds and parasols. Pool towels are complimentary, and selected pools are backed by bars for easy drinks and snacks.

Inside Kozeen Spa, an adults-only indoor heated pool offers a calmer spot for laps or relaxation (access is included for All Inclusive Plus guests and chargeable for others).

Steps away, Gennadi Beach is a long, peaceful sand-and-pebble stretch with clear water and space to spread out – perfect if you prefer your beach days uncrowded. A local watersports centre (run by an external company) offers canoeing, pedalos, inflatables, kayaking, motorised watersports and water polo for when you want a little more adrenaline with your sunshine.

Wellness lovers can make Kozeen Spa their daily ritual, with a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a menu of massages and beauty treatments (spa access and services for ages 16+; charges apply depending on board basis).

The air-conditioned gym is well equipped with cardio kit, free weights and a whirlpool; reservations are required and opening hours are typically 10:00–18:00 during the season. A weekly programme of activities includes yoga, pilates, aqua aerobics, tennis and table tennis, alongside bike hire for exploring the coastline on two wheels.
