Lydia Maris Resort & Spa, Kolimbia

Lydia Maris Resort & Spa is a 5-star base in Kolymbia, Rhodes, made for travelers who want a little luxury without giving up the ease of a family-friendly beach holiday. The resort sits in the Kolymbia area, where you can reach Kolymbia Beach in about 3 km and still return to a quieter setting when you’re done exploring. Guests consistently mention the calm, service-minded atmosphere and the practical comfort of non-smoking rooms and air conditioning, which matters in the warmer months.

Reviewers who traveled with children highlight the availability of family rooms and the overall suitability of the property for shared downtime, especially when the day has been spent in the sun. Couples also tend to like the slower rhythm here, particularly when they pair the on-site pool time with a spa visit nearby and a workout at the fitness facilities for an added fee. For meals, the resort’s restaurant and room service help you keep plans flexible, whether you want a full sit-down dinner or something easier after a day out.

From Kolymbia, it’s straightforward to plan day excursions: Seven Springs (Epta Piges) is around 10 km away, Tsambika Monastery is about 14 km, and Lindos Acropolis sits roughly 30 km from the resort. Many guests say these are the trips that make the stay feel complete, combining scenic stops with classic Rhodes sightseeing. With free parking on-site and the option of discounted offsite parking rates, road-trip friendly travelers can also move around the island at their own pace.
