Overview

 
Surrounded by mature palm-dotted gardens and opening straight onto Ialyssos’ breezy beachfront, Blue Horizon Hotel is a classic Rhodes retreat for easy-going days by the sea. Cool off in the freshwater pool, wander down to the shingle-and-sand shore for a drink at the Surfers Beach Bar, or simply watch the windsurfers carve across the bay. Rooms are bright and comfortable, service is friendly, and there’s a relaxed, traditional Greek feel that keeps guests coming back.

A laid-back beachfront setting, lush gardens and big Aegean views define Blue Horizon Hotel. The main pool sits just back from the sand-and-shingle shore, framed by lawns and palms, while the popular beach bar keeps you refreshed between dips. Inside, simple, modern rooms and low-rise bungalows offer a comfortable base for exploring Rhodes Town or simply unwinding to the sound of the waves. For couples and families seeking Rhodes’ coast-and-culture mix, Blue Horizon Hotel delivers the essentials: a beachfront address, easy-going pools and a friendly, village-style layout in Ialyssos. It’s around 30 minutes from Rhodes Airport. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location



Ialyssos, Rhodes, Greece

Blue Horizon Hotel sits on the north-west coast of Rhodes in Ialyssos, one of the island’s original beach resorts. Everything revolves around the long sand-and-shingle shoreline, a favourite with both sunbathers and windsurfers. From the hotel you can stroll to local bars and tavernas, or hop in a taxi into Rhodes Town’s UNESCO-listed Old Town for medieval streets, harbourfront cafés and the Palace of the Grand Master. It’s a great base if you want an easy beach holiday with culture and nightlife close at hand, rather than on your doorstep.
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 30 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


You’ve got two outdoor freshwater pools to choose from: a main pool with plenty of sunbeds and parasols, and a separate children’s pool that keeps little ones happily splashing. Pool towels are usually provided free of charge, so you can travel light.

Just beyond the gardens lies the long Ialyssos shoreline – a mix of sand and shingle with that trademark Rhodes sea breeze. It’s a favourite stretch for windsurfing and water sports (run by an external company, usually 18+ and extra cost), and the hotel’s own Surfers Beach Bar keeps drinks and snacks close at hand between dips in the Aegean.

Spa, sports & wellness


Active days come easy here. Join aerobics and aqua aerobics, challenge friends to basketball, volleyball, tennis, darts, petanque or table tennis, or rent a board from the nearby water sports centre to make the most of Ialyssos’ breezy bay.

For downtime, the small spa corner offers massage and beauty treatments (charges apply; minimum age typically 12+), ideal after a day exploring Rhodes Town. Kids have their own playground with slides, and there’s a handy mini-market on site for beach essentials and snacks.

Evenings bring a sociable line-up of daytime and night-time entertainment across the season, from arts and crafts, small team games and water activities to family-friendly shows, karaoke, bingo, quizzes, live music and a mini-disco for children. Programmes and dates are seasonal and can vary.
