Greece consistently ranks as one of the most sought-after destinations in Europe, drawing travellers with its awe-inspiring landscapes. Among its many gems, the picturesque town of Lindos on the island of Rhodes stands out for its unparalleled beauty.

Located nearby, the Lindian Village All-Inclusive Resort Rhodes, Curio Collection by Hilton, is the ideal haven for exploring the enchanting town of Lindos and beyond, reports The Mirror.

This April, Lindian Village is set to reimagine itself as a premium all-inclusive resort, becoming an even more appealing choice for a wide variety of guests, including solo adventurers, honeymooners, and retirees.

However, it truly shines when it comes to family-friendly luxury. The resort has features to delight little ones, from two sparkling pools and a fun-filled play area that captivated our two-year-old for hours to a superb kids’ club and child-friendly dining options. The resort also provides a babysitting service for parents craving a moment of relaxation.

Arguably, the highlight of Lindian Village is its private beach—a stunning stretch of coastline with crystal-clear turquoise waters. Guests can enjoy lounging in luxury, choosing between comfortable sunbeds, spacious cabanas, or even cosy beanbag sunbeds—our personal favourite.

Attentive staff are always nearby, ready to take drink orders, and beach towels are conveniently provided. For those wishing to indulge in a nightly ritual, sipping a piña colada while watching the sunset is an experience not to be missed. Thrill-seekers can also partake in exhilarating water sports as a dedicated provider operates on the beach, offering high-energy activities on the Aegean Sea.

The resort’s dining options add to the appeal, with a diverse buffet and three à la carte restaurants available as part of the all-inclusive package. Alas, Ouzeri serves the finest Greek cuisine, Era Ora Trattoria offers authentic Italian dishes, and Niku Restaurant provides an exciting Peruvian-Japanese fusion experience.

Niku, in particular, is a standout, offering a fine dining atmosphere that still caters to younger guests. For a casual snack, guests can visit the resort’s gelateria or the Yummy Truck, which serves hot dogs, burgers, and healthy salad bowls.

Lindian Village’s accommodations are designed to cater to both couples and families. The suites, especially those with private pools, provide an extra touch of luxury and comfort.

Every room is designed with contemporary furnishings, ensuring guests feel pampered at this five-star resort. The emphasis on privacy ensures that guests can unwind and feel like they have their own exclusive space.

In response to the wildfires that ravaged Rhodes in 2023, Lindian Village initiated the Bee Revived project, a conservation effort to recover the island’s ecology. The resort has ‘adopted’ 380,000 bees as part of the project.

Guests can participate in the Bee Revived Experience, where they can learn about the vital role of bees and sample their honey. This activity is a unique opportunity to engage with the island’s environmental initiatives, and guests can enjoy a 50% discount on the experience as part of their stay.

A short 15-minute drive from the resort takes you into Lindos, where visitors can wander through charming narrow streets lined with traditional Greek tavernas and souvenir shops. The highlight of any trip to Lindos is the Acropolis of Rhodes, a historical site dating back to the 5th century BC, which offers breathtaking views of Lindos and its surrounding beaches. After a rewarding hike to the top, families can celebrate with a traditional souvlaki meal by the beach.

Nightly rates at Lindian Village All-Inclusive Resort Rhodes, Curio Collection by Hilton, start from £285, with the resort reopening on 27 April 2025.
