Mitsis Family Village Beach

Mitsis Family Village Beach is an all-inclusive 4 star hotel, located on the southern coast of Kos. It’s just a five minute stroll to the pebble beach and the crystal clear sea waters, but you can take it easy and use their beach hopper service instead.

When you want to take a swim, there's six freshwater pools to choose from, plus a small option for mini guests. There are also fun slides for both children and adults. Alternatively, take part in the hotel-run activities including tennis, water polo, beach volleyball and football. If you’re a fitness fanatic, why not hit the gym?

Little guests can join the kids' club, where they can dance at the disco and have fun on the playground or in the games room. Any juniors aspiring to be the next Michel Roux Jr or Rachel Khoo can enter the master chef competition. There's also a teens' club with regularly organised activities during July and August.

The main restaurant offers buffet meals, which you can devour while admiring the view of the Kardamena coast. A late dinner and early breakfast service are available for eleventh hour arrivals and those wishing to depart as the sun is rising, for a flight or day trip. You don’t need to miss your included lunch if you’re going to be away; just request a snack box the day before. There’s a fourth meal available at Mitsis Family Village Beach - tea time between 5 and 7pm, where a choice of fresh sweet delicacies are served alongside a range of flavoured teas. Between formal eating times enjoy light bites from Zia Snack Bar, Creperie - Gelateria, or grab a fresh slice of pizza on the beach. Refreshing beverages are available poolside, from the beach bar or inside. Drinks are served from 9am until midnight.

There’s entertainment day and night, including activities, shows and DJ sets. Unless your name is Cinderella, you can continue partying beyond midnight (until 4am) at The Zone, for an additional charge. Boogie to the latest tunes, plus a variety of Dance, R&B, House and Disco favourites. Maybe try the huge Mojito, made with mint leaves grown in the garden outside. Join one of the themed nights including UV/Glow parties, Latino nights and Oldies.

The air-conditioned rooms are a generous 30m2 and are equipped with a balcony or terrace, mini bar, tea & coffee making facilities, satellite TV, WiFi, safe, hairdryer and a sofa which can also be used as a bed for a third guest. Family suites can accommodate two children in a separate room from their parents. Upgrade options include a sea view and sharing pool, ideal for those who like a spontaneous swim.

While those who have been clubbing until 4am are sleeping in, the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed guests might like to go and explore one of the two nearby castles or maybe even venture to Kos Town for a day trip (approx 40 minutes away by car). Wildlife lovers might like to take a walk around Alikes Salt Lake, a refuge home to pink feathery flamingos.
