Map & location
Kardamena, Kos, Greece
Grand Blue Beach Hotel enjoys a hillside position just above the coast on the south-east of Kos, looking across the Aegean with islands on the horizon. A quiet road separates the complex from the seafront, so you’re close enough to stroll down to the water yet high enough to soak up those widescreen views.
The centre of Kardamena is an easy walk away, giving you a change of pace with beach bars, watersports, shops and nightlife when you want it, while the hotel itself feels like a self-contained resort with everything on hand for lazy pool days.
- • Seafront 100m (across a quiet road)
- • Kardamena resort centre 550m
- • Kardamena beach and waterfront bars within walking distance
- • Local shops, bars & restaurants under 10 minutes’ walk
- Approx. transfer time from airport 45 minutes
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
With five outdoor freshwater pools, there’s always a lounger with your name on it. One pool is reserved as an adults-only zone with Balinese beds and a chilled vibe, ideal for couples wanting some quiet time, while others are framed by wide sun terraces with plenty of space for families.
Little ones get their own two children’s pools plus a splash-ready atmosphere, and complimentary pool towels make packing lighter. Facilities and depth can vary from pool to pool, and some areas or services may be seasonal.
The hotel sits just above the seafront, so you can head down towards the water for a stroll along the coast or onwards into Kardamena for its buzzing, long sandy beach and watersports.
Spa, sports & wellness
Wellness and activity are covered whether you’re here to recharge or burn some energy. The air-conditioned gym offers cardio machines, free weights, a stretching area and strength equipment (usually 08:00–22:00; minimum age 18 years).
After your workout, unwind in the spa with sauna, steam room and a menu of massage and beauty treatments (18+, local charges apply; typically open 10:00–18:00 from May to October).
On the sports side, there’s a tennis court, and the hotel’s animation team runs a programme of daytime and evening entertainment across the season – think small team games, family activities, water-based fun, live music, quizzes, karaoke and a mini-disco for younger guests. Schedules and offerings can change according to season and occupancy.

Food & drink
You’re on an All Inclusive Plus basis at Grand Blue Beach Hotel, so most of your eating and drinking is conveniently covered.
Mediterra Restaurant is the main buffet venue, serving international favourites and Greek specialties for breakfast, lunch and dinner with show-cooking stations and family-friendly touches such as highchairs and microwaves.
In high season, Panorama Restaurant opens as an additional buffet option for breakfast and dinner, also with show cooking and relaxed poolside seating. For something special, Azure à la carte dishes up international cuisine in a more intimate setting – advance reservations are required and availability may be limited.
Four bars keep refreshments flowing throughout the day and into the night, from the Alasarna lounge bar to pool and snack bars for ice-cold drinks and bites between dips. A smart casual dress code applies in selected venues (no beachwear; gentlemen may be asked to wear long trousers in the evening), and specific openings vary by season and occupancy.
