We predict when you discover H Hotels Collection resorts in Rhodes and Athens, a family holiday in Greece will move to the top of your wish list this spring, summer or even autumn.
H Hotels Collection started raising the bar for luxury resorts on Rhodes 30 years ago. Now with five family resorts on the island, and another exceptional family hotel in the heart of Athens, they’re universally acknowledged as the best of the best at what they do. And what they do is create the perfect environment for an unforgettable family holiday in Greece.
At the heart of everything they do, every resort and every experience, you’ll find the motto ‘we make moments matter’. It’s in the incredibly generous all-inclusive at their four and five star resorts which means you don’t have to spend a moment of precious holiday time thinking about costs. It’s also in the wide choice of room and suite styles, so families have as much space as they need. You’ll find it in the creative and imaginative clubs for kids and teens, that let parents have a holiday too. And it couldn’t be more deeply woven into the family activities, relaxed restaurants, spectacular beachy locations and the extraordinary level of friendly, personalised service everywhere, from the moment you book.
Why your kids will love a holiday in Rhodes this year
You can look forward to beach weather every day on spring, summer or even autumn holidays in Rhodes. Good news, because the island is ringed with beaches, more than 40 of them outstanding enough to fly Blue Flags.
Visit between July and September and you’ll be right on time to catch clouds of vivid Panaxia Butterflies fluttering around the aptly named Butterfly Valley in the north of the island: a phenomena that’s unique to Rhodes.
Summer is also good for traditional local festivals in mountain villages, many of which are linked by well-marked walking trails. And any time is the perfect time to climb up to the Lindos Acropolis and the equally impressive rockbound Castle of the Knights of St. John, both of which tower over pretty Lindos village.
Then there’s Rhodes old town itself. Not only is it one of the best preserved medieval quarters in Europe, it’s also a UNESCO World Heritage site, so wandering around its atmospheric streets on a sunny afternoon is a must-do. And if you hang around until later, you can catch one of the island’s best sunsets over the old town’s historic harbour.
Of course that’s just a hint of what to see and do on holiday in Rhodes. But all H Hotels Collection family hotels feature concierge desks where you’ll find friendly, English-speaking, local staff only too happy to share the secrets of their island home.
How to pick the perfect H Hotels Collection resort in Rhodes
As we said, H Hotels Collection has five family resorts on Rhodes. Four sit on the beautiful east coast near Kiotari, and another lies on the north coast, just outside Rhodes Town.
Five-star Princess Andriana: luxurious, ultra-all-inclusive family beach resort
Princess Andriana is generally thought to be one of the finest family resort in Rhodes.
As well as being a design icon, it’s also ultra-all-inclusive, which not only includes dining at the main restaurant, but drinks and snacks throughout the resort, as well as a wide range of land and water sports, access to kids’ Mini-Club and Youth Clubs for teen, and family activities and entertainment.
Four-Star Lindos Princess: all-inclusive family beach resort close to historic Lindos
You’ll find Lindos Princess just a short drive from legendary Lindos village, and closer still to Lardos.
This resort particularly excels when it comes to family accommodation, giving you the choice of 10 different room and suite styles. Although your kids will probably more excited by the resort’s six swimming pools, including family pools and fun waterslides.
Five-Star Rodos Princess: all-inclusive on private beach overlooking Galouni Bay
Another gorgeous H Hotels Collection family resort on Kiotari Beach, Rodos Princess features 421 recently renovated rooms and suites, all with private balconies or terraces, and wonderful views. All-inclusive here includes access to five different restaurants, water sports on the resort’s private beach and Mini-Club for under 12s. Plus, kids have their own, fully-supervised dining space at the Venus Pool Restaurant.
Four-Star Princess Sun: Kiotari all-inclusive resort to fit your family budget
Best of all worlds describes the setting of Princess Sun perfectly: surrounded by Rhodes’ mountain scenery but with lovely sea views too. A choice of five room and suite types here mean you can select accommodation to suit your budget, and all-inclusive adds a welcome carefree element that’s very much the mark of H Hotels Collection resorts.
Five-Star Rhodes Bay: exceptional family beach hotel on the north coast of Rhodes
Just a short drive from Rhodes Town, Rhodes Bay is a great choice for holidays with older kids. Although the fact that it has no fewer than five pools, a beautifully safe beach, and Mini-Club means younger children feel right at home here too. If you’re still struggling to decide, this resort also offers beautifully designed family bungalows and duplex suites.
Think about Athens for a holiday in Greece this year
H Hotels Collection is right in the heart of Athens too, which is a city we like a lot for a holiday in Greece with older kids, even in summer.
If that sounds surprising, you might not have heard of the Athens Riviera: great local beaches on the sheltered Saronic Gulf, about 10 miles from the city centre. So you get to explore ancient history from the iconic Parthenon to the word-class Acropolis Museum; dip into quaint city districts like Plaka – which teens love; discover lively downtown Athens and then, just hop on a tram when you feel like it, and head for your beach holiday in Greece.
Titiana Hotel from H Hotels Collection is so central in Athens, you can book rooms with Acropolis views. Alternatively, have dinner in the hotel’s rooftop restaurant and you get the iconic Parthenon-by-night on the side. After its recent multi-million-euro refurbishment the hotel’s sleek, bright interior almost rivals its location, and it now features a range of beautifully designed and spacious family rooms too.
If summer in the city isn’t on the cards, Titiana Hotel is always worth considering for a spring or autumn break with kids. The weather in Athens is reliably good, even in October, direct flights from the UK take from 3 hours and 40 minutes, plus affordable off-season rates at the Titiana Hotel could make a even a long weekend holiday in Greece doable for May or October half term.
