Luxury Holidays to Kos

Take in the stunning views and enjoy some pampering in beautiful Kos

In just under four hours from the UK you could be in Kos, sipping an ice-cold drink by the pool and gazing out over the Aegean Sea.

Kos offers green topped mountains, palm-fringed vistas and long, sandy beaches, the perfect backdrop to your luxury accommodation. The vibrant capital of Kos Town is where you’ll find a carnival vibe with plenty of opportunities to party until the early hours. There are plenty of spots away from the crowds though, as the rest of the island offers an enchanting mix of seaside villages and nature. So you can find a quiet spot to read, listen to your iPod or take in the scenery while you watch the boats sail by. The gentle waves are perfect for kids to play in too, so it’s superb for family getaways.

Living the high life in Kos

Tucked away off the beaten track is the tranquil village of Psalidi which is the perfect spot for admiring the boats in the harbour and soaking up some gorgeous scenery. This resort really hits the spot for peaceful getaways far from the crowds. In Marmari you’ll find a two-kilometre-long sandy beach, ideal if beach days are your holiday must-have. Surrounded by unspoiled nature there’s quiet seclusion here if you want it, or head for the bustle of Kos Town centre which is 20 minutes by taxi. Another resort with a long stretch of sand is Helona Beach, where you can look across to scenic Nissyros Island. It’s got a laid-back vibe and a few beachside restaurants for the the evenings, and Kos Town is only five minutes drive away.
