Platanista Hotel

This striking hotel will give you fairy-tale vibes thanks to the arches and battlements in its distinctive architecture. It’s in a quiet spot, a short walk from the beach (where the hotel has a handful of sunbeds reserved for guests) and a short drive or cycle to Kos old town. 
 
There are two large swimming pools at the hotel, one of which has an adjoining whirlpool and a pool bar. During the day, you can play water polo and beach volleyball, and you might also find organised football matches and table tennis to join in with. Minigolf, tennis, a playground, and a gym are also available, although if you want something a little more relaxing, spa treatments are available, too. 
 
The main restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, and there’s a more casual taverna near the pool with a terrace for dining al fresco. There's also a mini market if you want to pick up snacks – perhaps for a beach picnic. In the evening, there are some bars and tavernas to try along the seafront, with some light entertainment back at the hotel, such as acrobatics and dancing. 
 
The rooms feel fresh and modern with contemporary bathrooms, air-conditioning, and facilities to make yourself a cup of tea or coffee to enjoy on your private terrace or balcony – the perfect way to start a day in Kos.
