Rhodes reimagined

Rhodes is often associated with its bustling old town and famous beaches, but APHI Aura occupies a quieter corner of the island. Sitting directly on a Blue Flag beach in Kolymbia, the resort enjoys a front-row position overlooking crystalline Aegean waters, with the dramatic silhouette of Tsambika Mountain providing a constant backdrop.

Two pools give the resort its rhythm: an infinity pool stretching towards the Aegean for quieter moments, and a second, more sociable pool lined with loungers, cabanas, and a jacuzzi.The resort has a distinctly contemporary feel, but one rooted in place. Rhodian influences appear through handcrafted ceramics, marble details, and architectural nods to the island's past, while the philosophy of aragma, the Greek art of active lounging, shapes the easy rhythm of every stay. The wellness offering runs deep, from herbal spa therapies and meditation sessions to guided hikes and nutrition workshops celebrating the Mediterranean diet.

What Aphi Aura has to offer

    Long lunches and sunset suppers

    Food at APHI Aura is closely tied to the setting, with seven distinct venues for food and drinks spread across the resort. At the heart of things is the main restaurant, where generous Greek and Mediterranean buffets are served with sea views. For something more intimate, there's an Italian restaurant inspired by the long culinary ties between Rhodes and Italy. Down on the shoreline, a Mediterranean à la carte restaurant pairs fresh coastal dishes with signature cocktails, while a beachside venue shifts gears from healthy daytime lunches and fresh salads to Japanese-inspired dinners.

    The art of active lounging

    Wellness at APHI Aura is woven into everyday life. The resort's spa combines local herbs, sea-inspired therapies, and ancient wisdom in treatments designed to restore rather than merely pamper. A heated indoor pool, sauna, hammam, relaxation lounges, and gym create a complete wellness offering. The most memorable moments, however, often take place outdoors. Sunrise yoga beside the sea, sunset meditation sessions, Pilates classes, and guided hikes to the mountain-top monastery all encourage a slower, more intentional connection with the island.

    Indulgent extras

    The best experiences here lean into Rhodes itself. Creative travellers can join pottery workshops inspired by local craft traditions, while food lovers can learn to prepare regional specialities including melekouni and giaprakia. Wine tastings showcase Rhodian vintages alongside local cheeses, and evening firepit gatherings bring guests together for unplugged music and conversation as the sky turns orange over the sea. It all feels refreshingly rooted in the island rather than staged for it.
