You wake up from a great night’s sleep, reluctantly disentangling yourself from your cool silken sheets. The first rays of Mediterranean sunshine begin streaming in through the window of your deluxe double room, beckoning you to begin a day of luxury and serenity. And there it is, almost within touching distance below your balcony, the swimming pool; the centrepiece of your entire Rodos Park experience with every sparkle bringing the irresistible temptation to dive in; your chance for a morning refresh of body and mind, followed by the promise of so much more than just swimming.

Once you’ve taken your first dip, it’s time to contemplate a little breakfast and an iced coffee that, with an added dash of convivial company, can stretch on till noon. After all, that sunbed is all yours! As friends come and go, perhaps a refreshing cocktail to complement the conversation and then a midday snack? Anything and everything is at your disposal at your own pace and in your own impeccable style; in and out of the pool with plenty of fun applying the sunscreen and working on the tan; plenty of opportunity for sharing those intimate moments with loved ones without pressure of routine or obligations and plenty of time to find out what happens in the final chapters of that novel you feel like you’ve been reading for ages.

As the day wears on, while others make for the beach or set off on their designated day for discovering the island, why not just don your sunnies, adjust the umbrella and let the rippling waters of the pool, the call of the sea gulls and the cooling breezes trickle into your consciousness. This exquisite slice of solitude will soon have you drifting off into a contented afternoon nap, which according to people here is the best kind of sleep, in the comforting embrace of a Greek summer’s afternoon.

Fancy cooling off for a while? Then, dry off and head for the shaded garden lounge next to the Pool Bar replete with plush sofas and surrounded by lush foliage. Here you can find an atmosphere that exudes understated elegance conducive to conversation that goes deep and those priceless ‘just-don’t-know-where-the-time-has-gone’ interludes that can do us all the world of good; and capture all that is good about the tranquil bubble of Rodos Park.

As if the alchemy of Rhodes isn’t enough to grip the imagination, make a point of positioning yourself poolside as the sun goes down. Crimson and gold ribbons criss-cross the Aegean skies and discreet spotlights dotted around the garden create an enchanting light show reflected in the still waters. When you combine this with the balmy evening heat, gentle music, the subtle architecture with its soothing elegant soothing lines, the chatter of the cicadas and the scent of Mediterranean flowers ever-present in the air, you will appreciate the full effect of this vibrant and yet peaceful haven.

Just to add an extra layer of sophistication to after-dark around the pool, you need look no further than the themed Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. A little cool jazz performed from around the world is just what you need to hit the right notes as you sip delicious local wines at Il Parco Restaurant and savour the best of regional cuisine or surprise pop-ups from award-winning chefs, whose creativity knows no bounds.

So, while Filoxenia is always at the heart of everything at Rodos Park, our swimming pool and the life and lifestyle that revolves in and around it also play a big part in defining what we offer you; right from the moment you open your eyes in the morning and decide to go for your first swim till you’ve wined, dined and romanced to the early hours ready to dream of what the next day has in store.
