Kolymbia sits on Rhodes’ picturesque east coast, framed by Tsambika Mountain and long, gently shelving beaches. Sentido Port Royal Villas & Spa occupies a privileged frontline position here, with the resort’s main beach at its feet and tree-lined avenues leading to local tavernas and cafés.

The vibe is relaxed and low-key: mornings are for sea swims and walks along the waterfront, afternoons for exploring nearby Seven Springs or the medieval lanes of Rhodes Town, around 30 minutes’ drive away. Come evening, you can stay put for live music at the hotel or wander 50m to bars and restaurants in Kolymbia itself.

• Beach: beachfront (direct access)
• Nearest shops, bars & restaurants: approx. 50m
• Kolymbia centre: short stroll
• Rhodes Town (Old Town & harbour): approx. 25km
• Lindos: approx. 26km

Approx. transfer time from airport (RHO): 1 hour 35 minutes

Dining at Sentido Port Royal Villas & Spa leans into leisurely, grown-up evenings and long lunches by the water.

Main Royal Blue Restaurant is the buffet heart of the hotel, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with live cooking stations and a mix of Greek, Mediterranean and international dishes. Think freshly grilled fish, local salads, and indulgent desserts.

By the pool, Armira Pool Side Restaurant serves à la carte Greek dishes and light bites in the shade – ideal for relaxed lunches and late-afternoon snacks. As the sun sets, head for rooftop dining at Cibus Restaurant for international cuisine with show cooking and sweeping views, or La Pasteria for refined Italian favourites served poolside.

Four bars keep drinks and conversation flowing, from the laid‑back Armira and Kalithea pool bars to the stylish Cibus Bar and the inviting Lobby Bar for pre‑ or post‑dinner cocktails.

Dress codes are generally smart‑casual (no beachwear), and reservations and supplements may apply depending on your chosen board basis; details can change seasonally, so check in‑resort for the latest information.

With two expansive outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool and a sweeping beachfront, the hotel is built for lazy days in and out of the water.

The lagoon-style main outdoor pool comes with a generous sunbathing terrace, cushioned sunbeds and parasols, plus nearby bar service so you never have to wander far for a drink. A second outdoor pool – heated in the cooler months (typically April to May) – extends the season for early- or late-summer dips.

Inside the spa, a heated indoor freshwater pool adds a tranquil spot to swim or unwind, particularly on breezier days. Complimentary pool towels are provided, so you can travel lighter.

A few steps beyond the gardens, Kolymbia’s beach awaits – a gently shelving stretch of sand and shingle with clear Aegean waters that are perfect for morning swims and sunset walks.

Stay as active or relaxed as you like. The air-conditioned gym (typically 08:00–20:00) is well equipped for cardio and strength sessions, while an activity programme brings aerobics, aqua aerobics, yoga, pilates, darts, paddle, table tennis and tennis into the mix.

The spa combines an indoor heated pool, sauna and whirlpool with a menu of massages and beauty treatments (16+, charges apply), plus an on-site hairdresser for extra pampering. It’s a polished space designed for long, unhurried rituals.

Daytime entertainment tends to be relaxed – racket sports, occasional games and water-based activities – ramping up in the evenings with live music and DJ sets during the main season.

Elsewhere on site, you’ll find a 24-hour reception with concierge, currency exchange (local charge), English newspapers (local charge) and luggage storage. Wheelchair hire is available on request (subject to availability, charges may apply).
