Discover the essence of modern Greek luxury at The Elissa Lifestyle Beach Resortwhich is situated along the golden east coastline of Kalithea, just a short distance from Rhodes Town (5KM) and a 30-minute transfer from the airport.

Elissa is an exclusive adult-only Premium all-inclusive beachfront retreat set in sprawling grounds with stunning seaviews, a modern, contemporary escape where elegant design meets authentic Greek hospitality. 206 rooms, Deluxe pool & seaview, Junior suites with seaview & shared pools & Open plan suites with private pool & some with private pool and sauna. A total of 15 pools across the resort, 4 restaurants & 3 bars, a food hub, Spa, yoga & gym.

The finest all-inclusive experience I have had the pleasure to experience, I never felt like I was on an inclusive resort. It was waiter service with a premium drink, including Champagne. No restrictions on your dining with a fully flexible dine around experience - reservations required, that is the prerequisite.

There are Bed & Breakfast options for this hotel; however, I fully recommend the premium all-inclusive, and there is a Bliss program, which is an elevated experience including breakfast bliss at Masari restaurants & gourmet la carte restaurants, elevated cocktails & Champagne.

I stayed for 5 nights in a Junior Suite with a shared private pool, which can sleep 4( 2 persons in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the lounge for a further 2 persons. The patio doors opened straight onto a shared pool for the 4 junior suites. The rooms are spaciously furnished with a sleek, elegant design providing modern amenities including Ferragamo toiletries, slippers & bathrobes. The Premium all-inclusive also extends to the mini bar, which includes Moet & Chandon Champagne, soft drinks, & snacks.

The dining experience was exceptional with a selection of local & international cuisines in a diverse range of restaurants & bars, and also includes room service. You can dine unlimited in all restaurants, including the 3 la carte restaurants.
