Kalithea is one of Rhodes’ most scenic corners, known for its sandy coves, famous spa complex and easy access to UNESCO-listed Rhodes Town. Helea Lifestyle Beach Resort occupies a prime beachfront position along Kallithea Avenue, so you can wander straight from the hotel towards the sand and the Aegean.

The resort centre of Kalithea is about 1km away, with traditional tavernas, local cafés and low-key nightlife. A short drive takes you into Rhodes Town, where cobbled lanes, medieval walls and harbour views are made for atmospheric evenings out. For livelier nights, Faliraki’s bars and clubs are also within easy reach, while you still return to a more relaxed base at Helea.

Beach: Directly on the beachfront
Kalithea resort centre: approx. 1km
Rhodes Town (Old Town & harbour): approx. 7km
Faliraki: short drive away

Approx. transfer time from airport: 1 hour 10 minutes

Kalithea, Rhodes, Greece

Helea’s All Inclusive Plus concept is a big part of the appeal, especially for families who like variety without the fuss of planning every meal.

The main restaurant, Lopia, is a bright, contemporary buffet venue serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with show-cooking stations, kids’ buffet and children’s menu. You’ll find a global mix of Mediterranean and international dishes, with plenty of fresh Greek favourites.

Three à la carte restaurants add a more intimate, sit-down experience:

• Matsi – Italian à la carte with fresh pastas, pizzas and classic trattoria dishes, open for lunch and dinner by the pool (kids’ menu and highchairs available).
• Tsouka – Greek à la carte on the poolside, serving modern takes on local specialities at breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a dedicated kids’ menu.
• Latin America Restaurant – colourful, Latin-inspired eats for dinner by the pool, again with highchairs and child-friendly options.

Visits to the à la carte restaurants are included in the All Inclusive Plus package according to your length of stay (for example, one visit per stay up to four nights, rising to four visits for ten nights or more, shared across the three venues and subject to reservation and availability).

For casual bites and drinks, you’re covered by:

• Beach Club – snack bar right by the sand, open roughly 10:00–18:00 in season.
• Lobby Bar – the social hub for coffees, pre-dinner drinks and nightcaps (typically 10:00–01:00).
• Pool Bar – daytime refreshments by the main pool (usually 10:00–18:00).
• Street Food Hub – relaxed snack spot in the gardens shared with the neighbouring adults-only Elissa resort, ideal for a quick, informal refuel between swims.

Selected international branded and local alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, tea and coffee are included for a minimum of 12 hours per day, along with snacks available for at least 7 hours daily. A smart-casual dress code can apply in the evenings (long trousers are often requested for gentlemen in à la carte restaurants), and opening times or inclusions may vary by season – you’ll receive the latest details on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.

The heart of the resort is a generous outdoor freshwater pool with a separate children’s section, ringed by sunbeds and parasols. It’s purpose-built for lazy days, with family-friendly shallows and plenty of space to spread out.

You’ll also find:

• Splash park – a dedicated water-play area featuring tipping bucket, water guns, sprinklers, fountains and waterfalls. It’s open roughly 10:00–17:30 in season and is a major hit with younger guests.
• Free pool towels – available on-site, so you can pack lighter.
• Beachfront access – stroll through the grounds to the seafront for swims in the Aegean or lounging by the Beach Club.
• Watersports – canoeing, kayaking, pedalos and motorised watersports are offered by an external provider on the beach (additional charges apply; minimum age usually from 6 years, plus height/weight restrictions depending on activity).

Facilities and exact layouts can vary between pools, and seasonal opening dates are typically from April to October, weather and occupancy permitting.
