Overview

 
Island Blue Hotel in Pefkos is a contemporary, low‑rise complex that feels more like a modern Greek village than a standard resort. Just a short stroll from the sandy beach and the laid‑back centre of Pefkos, it pairs clean‑lined interiors with lush gardens, two inviting pools and flexible room types that work brilliantly for couples and families. Book on a Bed and Breakfast basis and you can also dip into the pools and spa facilities at the nearby sister properties, giving you a bigger resort feel without losing that relaxed, boutique atmosphere.

Think whitewashed blocks, cobalt pools and palm‑framed walkways: Island Blue Hotel brings a fresh, modern look to one of Rhodes’ most charming resorts. Wide sun terraces and daybeds invite lingering afternoons by the water, while contemporary rooms and apartments come with kitchenettes or handy extras like irons, kettles and fridges. It’s close enough to the beach and tavernas that you can wander everywhere on foot, but tucked back just enough to feel calm and residential. For couples and families who want Rhodes’ authentic south‑east coast charm without big‑resort bustle, Island Blue Hotel hits a sweet spot: modern, easygoing and walkable to everything. It’s around 2 hours by coach from Rhodes Airport. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Pefkos, Rhodes, Greece

Pefkos is all about small sandy coves, pine trees and unhurried evenings in family‑run tavernas – and Island Blue Hotel slots right into that rhythm. Tucked slightly back from the seafront, it gives you a calm base within a few minutes’ walk of the resort’s main beach, beachfront bars and local shops. The characterful white village of Lindos, with its famous Acropolis and rooftop restaurants, is only about 3km away and easy to reach by taxi or local bus, making it a great day or evening out.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The heart of Island Blue Hotel is its twin-pool complex. You’ll find:
• A generous outdoor freshwater pool with a dedicated children’s section, surrounded by loungers and parasols – perfect for relaxed family days.
• A second outdoor freshwater pool with its own sunbathing terrace and plenty of space to unwind; inflatables are generally permitted, adding to the casual, family‑friendly feel (pool facilities and policies can vary by season).

Pools usually operate from early May to the end of October, though dates and opening hours depend on weather and occupancy.

The nearest sandy beach at Pefkos is around 300m away, with clear, shallow waters ideal for swimming and snorkelling. From here you’re only moments from a drink at a low-key beach bar or a leisurely lunch at one of the seafront tavernas.
