GRECOTEL LUXME KOS: First Look into the Aegean flagship resort

Opening 25 April 2026, Grecotel unveils its reimagined five-star island escape, where the Aegean meets Anatolian influences in a refined yet welcoming setting.

Set across 100,000 square metres in the peaceful Psalidi area, just moments from Kos Town, this resort captures the essence of a small Greek island lifestyle while offering complete privacy. Palm-filled gardens, six pools, six restaurants, a private beach and the unique Papaya Island create a destination designed for both relaxation and discovery.

Newly redesigned accommodation ranges from elegant sea-view rooms to expansive penthouse suites and beachfront villas with private pools. Family suites and bungalow-style rooms are centred around a shared pool landscape, blending comfort with a contemporary island aesthetic.

Dining takes centre stage with six restaurants and four bars, showcasing global flavours and modern gastronomy. From beachfront Asian cuisine and Italian classics to Greek favourites and a vibrant bakery-led buffet, every experience is thoughtfully curated.

At the heart of the resort, the lagoon-style pool leads to Papaya Island, a lush sandy retreat surrounded by a new lazy river. Beyond, the private beach offers clear Aegean waters and attentive service throughout the day.

Wellbeing is elevated at the Elixir Spa, one of the largest in the Greek islands, inspired by the legacy of Hippocrates. Guests can enjoy holistic treatments, indoor and outdoor wellness spaces, and a full programme of fitness and relaxation.

For younger guests, Grecoland brings the island’s history to life through interactive exploration inspired by volcanoes and the heritage of Kos.

Grecotel LUXME Kos introduces Luxury Made Easy, an elevated all-inclusive experience designed for effortless travel and unforgettable stays.

A new chapter in Greek island luxury begins this spring.

✨ An Arctic Escape Like No Other ✨

Discover the magic of the Arctic Circle with an unforgettable stay at the stunning Boutique Hotel Cahkal in Finnish Lapland.

Lapland isn’t just for children — it’s one of the most extraordinary places on Earth to witness the mesmerising Aurora Borealis. In the remote village of Kilpisjärvi, far in Finland’s north, you’ll find a breathtaking Arctic wilderness of frozen lakes, sweeping tundra and dramatic mountain scenery. With crystal-clear skies and almost zero light pollution, this spectacular destination offers some of the best conditions in the world for Northern Lights viewing. 🌌

Set beside the frozen waters of Lake Kilpis and framed by the snow-capped Lyngen Alps, Kilpisjärvi is the perfect setting for once-in-a-lifetime Arctic adventures. Experience the thrill of mushing your own team of huskies across the tundra, snowmobiling across frozen lakes, and meeting the local Sámi people for an authentic reindeer experience that offers a glimpse into their centuries-old Arctic traditions. 🐕‍🦺🦌

Your stay will be at the beautifully designed Boutique Hotel Cahkal, located over 400 km above the Arctic Circle. This stylish wilderness retreat blends contemporary Scandinavian design with warm Arctic hospitality. Savour locally inspired cuisine, relax in a traditional Finnish sauna, and unwind while taking in panoramic mountain views. ❄️

While the Northern Lights can never be guaranteed, the excitement of searching for them beneath Lapland’s star-filled skies is an experience you’ll never forget.

This luxury Arctic escape includes:

✈️ Return flights
🏔️ Full-board accommodation
🧥 Thermal winter clothing
🛷 Signature Arctic excursions
🌌 Guided Northern Lights experience

A seamless, adult-only winter adventure designed to inspire, invigorate and immerse you in the magic of the far north.

If Lapland has been on your “one day we’ll do that” list, 2027 might be the year to make it happen.

Lapland isn’t just a holiday. It’s one of those fleeting, once-in-childhood experiences. And for many families, the biggest regret is simply waiting too long.
