Why stay at Grecotel LUX®ME Kos? 6 reasons to book

If you’re weighing up a premium All Inclusive stay in Greece and want something that feels luxe without losing that laidback island energy, Grecotel LUX®ME Kos has all the green flags.

It’s cosied right up to the Aegean Sea, with multiple pools, a lazy river, and a new dining collection with six restaurants and four bars included in the All Inclusive set up. That means your days are spent dipping between the pool, the beach, bars and gourmet restaurants – without constantly reaching for your credit card.

Here’s why this resort is the perfect Euro summer pick this year.

The ‘little bit of everything’ effect

Grecotel LUX®ME Kos is perched on the beachfront in Psalidi, on the east coast of Kos, just a short hop from Kos Town. It’s set among coastal greenery with direct access to a shingle beach, and the whole place is designed to balance chilled days with just-enough levels of buzz.

You’ve got:

Three outdoor pools, plus a lazy river and a separate children’s pool
Six restaurants, ticking off Greek, Italian, Asian and gourmet dining
Four bars for everything from daytime iced coffees to sunset cocktails
Daytime activities like aerobics and table tennis, with space to do nothing at all

In short, it’s big, but not busy. Everything’s spaced out, dialled down and designed to let you stay in your own lane.

All Inclusive, but make it LUX®ME

The LUX®ME vibe is all about upgraded All Inclusive. That means less buffet burnout, more choice and quality.

Breakfast and themed dinners happen in a lagoon set main restaurant with live cooking, but evenings can just as easily mean Italian à la carte at The Finicia, Asian dishes by the beach, or a lobster led fine dining night at the adults only 1930s restaurant. There’s also a taverna-style pick for mezze – the Greek answer to tapas.

During the day, food fits around your swimming and sunbathing schedule. Grills, salads, pizzas, gelato and crepes tempt you from your lounger to the food court, while drinks flow from pool bars, the beach bar and a lobby bar that stays open late.

It’s the kind of set up where you can eat little and often or sit down and make a meal of it… all without checking prices or splitting bills.

Pool days, beach days – no need to pick

Some days call for a lounger, a book and zero plans. Others are more “let’s see where the beach bar takes us”. Grecotel LUX®ME Kos caters to both.

The pool scene is spread out, with space for chilled sunbathing and areas that are more family focused. The lazy river is ideal for cooling off without committing to full laps, and the separate children’s pool keeps splash zone chaos contained.

The pièce de résistance of the resort is the spectacular lagoon pool, crowned by Papaya Island – a lush sandy islet, dotted with hammocks and plush loungers with fire pits in the evening

Prefer the sea? The hotel is right on top of the beach, with views across classic-blue water for morning swims or golden hour photo sessions.

Location perks

Psalidi is a solid base if you want blissed-out, beachy vibes with the option to explore. There’s a bus stop right outside the hotel, and Kos Town is around 10 minutes away. That means you can dip into harbourside bars and restaurants, a cobbled old town, and cute boutiques for souvenirs whenever the mood strikes.

Then head back to the hotel when you’re ready to switch off again. Best of both worlds.

Rooms primed for relaxing

The rooms at Grecotel LUX®ME Kos are designed for downtime, not just sleep. They’re spread across low rise buildings, so you don’t have to climb hundreds of stairs or get lost in busy corridors.

After a day by the pool or beach, it’s the kind of place where you can shower, reset and munch on mini-market snacks before heading out for dinner. Design-wise, think a cool, island aesthetic, soft fabrics, and sleek sculptural furniture.

Plus, rooms are set up to suit couples, groups and families, with two-bedroom bungalows and cosy sea-view suites available – some even come with a private pool. A great choice for this summer is the new collection of guestrooms surrounding a shared pool area, or if you really want to splash out, the two-level beachfront residence with sprawling verandas and direct views of the Aegean.

Facilities that let you do a lot – or absolutely nothing

This is a resort that gives you options without forcing an agenda. There are multiple outdoor pools, a lazy river for low effort floating, a gym, and a kids’ club for those days when you just want to get through some chapters in peace (now there’s a real luxury).

If you’re looking for more of a motive, there are daytime activities like aerobics, yoga, Pilates, aqua gym, tennis and pool games. If not, the beach is ‘do not disturb’ all over. There’s also the Elixir Spa for those much-needed self-care sessions, including a heated pool, marble treatment rooms, a sauna and a steam room, and massages alfresco. It’s one of the biggest wellness facilities in the Greek islands, with a nod to Hippocrates’ legacy through treatments rooted in ancient healing rituals and natural ingredients.

Live music sets the soundtrack through sunset and well into the evening. Just picture a cocktail in hand and the sound of a sax on the sea breeze. And if you’re after more of a party, Kos Town – with its buzzing Bar Street and classy cocktail lounges – is just a 10-minute taxi ride away.

So yes, we’re officially sold. If Grecotel LUX®ME Kos is calling your name, you’ll love our other Greece holiday deals.
