Family holidays in Rhodes
🏛️Rhodes
Greece
Rhodes is one of the Mediterranean's great family islands: a run of big all-inclusive resorts with water parks and free kids clubs, warm shallow sea that stays swimmable well into October, and enough history (a whole medieval Old Town, the Acropolis at Lindos) to make it feel like more than just a pool holiday. The east coast, from Faliraki down to Kiotari, is where most of the family beaches and resorts sit.

Our KidProof picks
Hand-picked and scored on the eight things that matter to families.
in Rhodes
Aulus Lindos Rhodes, Curio Collection by Hilton (Lindian Village)
Around 190 rooms and suites set in white, village-style houses among tropical gardens, with a laid-back boho look (earthy tones, natural materials). Family options include suites with a separate living space, and some accommodation has its own plunge pool, which older kids love and which lets parents linger outside after bedtime.
in Rhodes
Helea Family Beach Resort
A modern resort (opened 2023) spread across a large landscaped estate, with Deluxe Rooms, Junior Suites and larger Helea Suites designed with families in mind. Interiors are contemporary and spacious, many with sea or garden views. The suites give you the separate space that makes a two-week stay with kids feel less cramped.
in Rhodes
Princess Andriana Resort & Spa
A big resort (over 500 rooms and suites) laid out in low blocks across gardens that run down to Kiotari beach. Family Rooms sleep four comfortably and the larger suites add a separate sleeping area, which is what you want if the baby still naps. Rooms are functional rather than boutique, but most have a balcony or terrace and plenty have a sea or pool view.
in Rhodes
Amada Colossos Resort
A very large seafront resort with a wide range of rooms, from standard doubles to family rooms and suites that sleep up to four or five. Modern renovated rooms have good sea views; ask specifically for a refurbished family room, as the older stock is more tired. Bunk-style and connecting options make it easy to keep everyone together.
in Rhodes
Sheraton Rhodes Resort
A large, comfortable resort hotel with spacious rooms and suites, many with sea-view balconies over the west coast. Family rooms and connecting rooms are available, and the standard rooms are generous by island standards. It reads as a polished resort hotel rather than a kids' waterpark village, which suits families who like a bit of calm and space.
in Rhodes
Atlantica Aegean Blue
A mid-range all-inclusive with straightforward, comfortable rooms and family rooms that sleep up to four. Nothing designer, but they are clean and practical, most with a balcony. Family rooms and interconnecting options are worth requesting early, as the standard rooms are a squeeze for four with a cot.
in Rhodes
Sala Historical Suites
Contemporary self-catering apartments in the heart of Rhodes Town, a short walk from the medieval Old Town and Elli Beach. A one-bedroom apartment comfortably sleeps four, with a kitchenette so you can do breakfasts and toddler meals in. This is an apartment base, not a resort, so there is no pool or kids club: you trade facilities for location and independence.
in Rhodes
Dessole Lippia Golf Resort
A mid-range resort of around 240 rooms next to the Afandou golf course, some with a patio or balcony and a small fridge for light self-catering. Rooms are simple and a little dated, but practical for families, and family rooms sleep up to four. Think value and easy-going rather than modern polish.

Parents also ask
When is the best time to visit Rhodes with kids?
June and September are the sweet spot: hot but not scorching, warm sea and slightly thinner crowds. July and August are hottest and busiest, and the sea stays swimmable into October.
Are Rhodes beaches sandy or pebbly?
It varies. The east coast (Kiotari, Faliraki, Afandou) has the sandiest, calmest family beaches, while west-coast spots like Ixia are pebbly and breezier. Pack water shoes to be safe.
Is Rhodes easy to get to?
Yes. Rhodes airport has direct flights from many European cities, roughly three to four hours from the UK, and most family resorts are a 20 to 60 minute transfer away.
Do the big resorts have free kids clubs?
Most large all-inclusives include a free supervised mini club, typically for ages 4 to 12. Crèches for younger children and babysitting are sometimes extra.
