The 142-room Lindos Mare Hotel is located along a secluded road near historic Lindos, high on a hill overlooking picturesque Vliha Bay. The hotel's private beach is reached via stone stairway or elevator, and guests can swim and sunbathe as waiters supply the drinks. The architecture and airy, whimsical decor in rooms and common areas give the hotel a dreamy, romantic feeling, and most find service attentive. There are a total of three pools (including a children's pool) plus tennis court, fitness center, and kids' club all on-site.
Scene
Beachfront, peaceful hotel
The Lindos Mare is set on a rocky cliff face, overlooking the white sand and turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea from every arch, window, balcony, and patio. The lobby is open and airy, with high ceilings and lots of white marble and cherry wood. Touches of lemon yellow, orange, periwinkle blue, and deep violet add whimsy and character to the different seating areas. The TV alcove is done in white with elegant but comfortable dove grey couches, filmy curtains, and a light blue ceiling with tiny star spotlights. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and a touch more refined than other local hotels.
Location
Above Vliha Bay, close to historic Lindos
The Lindos Mare is located high on a hill overlooking the Aegean, with a private beach several stories below, reached via elevator and cable car. The historic village of Lindos is five to 10 minutes away by taxi; it is walkable, but the road to the village has no shoulder and is not pedestrian friendly. The town of Rhodes and the airport are 30 miles away. There is no public transportation to the island tourist attractions, but free parking is available for guests with cars.
Rooms
Rooms with fun decor, luxe bathrooms, and balconies with spectacular views
Rooms at the Lindos Mare have a relaxed elegance and offer spectacular views from the large balconies. The sea view is worth the extra fee. Double Rooms are decorated in shades of lavender and fresh light green, with light wood furnishings and filmy curtains. Bathrooms are modern and spotless, with picture windows opening into the bedroom. Superior rooms are white with light blue accents, sexy enclosed verandahs, and the Aegean Sea for artwork. Rooms are soundproofed and offer all the amenities, although some have old school TVs, not flat-screens.
