Overview

 
Gennadi Grand Resort brings sleek, sustainable luxury to one of Rhodes’ most peaceful stretches of coastline. This low-rise, design-led retreat unfolds along Gennadi’s Blue Flag beach, with glassy pools, rooftop restaurants and a serious spa scene. Many suites come with their own private pool, while the thoughtful All Inclusive Plus and dine-around concept makes it easy to graze from Greek mezze to fine dining without leaving the resort.

Imagine waking up to Aegean light pouring over minimalist white architecture, your own private pool just steps from the bed and a quiet sand-and-pebble beach a stroll away. Gennadi Grand Resort is a modern, eco-conscious hideaway that still feels wonderfully grounded in Greek island life – think fragrant gardens, low-rise cubes mirroring the landscape and an emphasis on slow, sun-drenched days by the water. For couples and families seeking Rhodes’ authentic south over the busier north, Gennadi Grand Resort nails the balance between design hotel polish and laid-back beach life. It’s approximately 1 hour 15 minutes from Rhodes (RHO) airport, with Gennadi’s tavernas and bakeries just 1km away. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Gennadi, Rhodes, Greece

On Rhodes’ south-east coast, Gennadi Grand Resort fronts a long, tranquil sweep of Blue Flag coastline. The once-sleepy fishing village of Gennadi still feels authentic, with whitewashed houses, old churches and a handful of tavernas and cafés serving homely Greek dishes.

From here it’s easy to explore: head north to postcard-pretty Lindos with its Acropolis and cobbled alleys, or venture to UNESCO-listed Rhodes Town where medieval walls and the harbour create one of the island’s most atmospheric day trips. Back at the resort, nights are about sunset cocktails, stargazing and the soft hush of the Aegean.

  • Beach beachfront (direct access)
  • Gennadi resort centre 1km
  • Lindos 23km
  • Rhodes Town (Old Town & harbour) 65km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 15 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Pool days are taken seriously here. The resort features four outdoor freshwater pools, including a dedicated children’s pool, each with generous sunbathing terraces, sunbeds and parasols. Pool towels are complimentary, and selected pools are backed by bars for easy drinks and snacks.

Inside Kozeen Spa, an adults-only indoor heated pool offers a calmer spot for laps or relaxation (access is included for All Inclusive Plus guests and chargeable for others).

Steps away, Gennadi Beach is a long, peaceful sand-and-pebble stretch with clear water and space to spread out – perfect if you prefer your beach days uncrowded. A local watersports centre (run by an external company) offers canoeing, pedalos, inflatables, kayaking, motorised watersports and water polo for when you want a little more adrenaline with your sunshine.

Spa, sports & wellness


Wellness lovers can make Kozeen Spa their daily ritual, with a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a menu of massages and beauty treatments (spa access and services for ages 16+; charges apply depending on board basis).

The air-conditioned gym is well equipped with cardio kit, free weights and a whirlpool; reservations are required and opening hours are typically 10:00–18:00 during the season.
