Aqua Blu is the romantic, grown-up option on this list. It is an adults-only boutique hotel directly on Lambi Beach, with a minimum age of sixteen, and the property details list it as a five-star property with an excellent guest score from hundreds of reviews. The beach is a one-minute walk away because you are essentially on it, and the Port of Kos is a short drive, so the hotel combines a beachfront setting with easy access to town. The result is a quiet, polished stay for couples and friends who want comfort, good service and sea views without children around. Accommodation is built around suites. Options include double suites, pool suites, loft suites, sea-view and direct sea-view suites, and signature suites, some with a jetted tub on the balcony, as well as simpler double rooms. A large loft suite and a ten-person apartment are also mentioned, which suggests the hotel can accommodate groups celebrating together. Air conditioning is standard, and free WiFi and parking are included. The hotel has no elevators, so ask for a ground-floor or low-level room if stairs are a problem.
The spa is a major attraction. It has four treatment rooms, including one for couples, and offers massages, facials, body treatments, hydrotherapy, a sauna, a steam room and a Turkish bath, with reservations required. The outdoor pool, with loungers and umbrellas, has set opening hours, and a heated-pool supplement is mentioned, so ask about it if you visit outside high summer. The private beachfront provides loungers, towels, umbrellas and beach massages, which is a luxury touch.
Dining includes two restaurants serving Mediterranean cuisine, with a restaurant named Cuvee mentioned, plus a main bar, a poolside bar, a cafe and a snack bar. There is a health club, a tennis court, bike rentals and horseback riding nearby through the hotel. An airport shuttle can be arranged for a fee per vehicle, which is useful because the airport is about forty minutes by road. Check-in is from three in the afternoon and check-out is by eleven, and pets are not allowed.
Important
The hotel is closed for the winter, with the property details giving a closing window from November to mid-April. If you travel in spring or autumn, check the opening dates before you plan. Prices are higher than at the mid-range hotels in the same area, so decide whether the adults-only atmosphere and the spa justify the cost. The beach at Lambi is a town beach with some pebbles, not a long soft sand strand, which is another reason to look at the room and beach photos.
For honeymooners, anniversary trips and friends who want a calm, stylish base, Aqua Blu is among the most attractive and best-reviewed hotels on the island, and its position near Kos Town means you can easily combine relaxation with sightseeing.
