Hotel of the Week: Explore the Medieval Town and Beautiful Beaches of Rhodes from this Stunning New Resort
Amoh, a Luxury Collection Resort, offers refined, contemporary surroundings amongst the Greek island’s UNESCO World Heritage sites and the turquoise water of the Mediterranean Sea
The expansive Greek islands offer a diverse array of landscapes and experiences, making the Mediterranean destination a popular travel spot—and one worthy of repeat visits to sample the decadent cuisine, beautiful beaches, and postcard-worthy villages. Rhodes lures jetsetters with its dramatic rocky terrain that plunges into turquoise blue water; impeccably preserved ruins; and Medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Now, those visiting the Aegean island have a new upscale resort perfect for utilizing as a decadent, rejuvenating base.
Shaped by Rhodes architect Savvas Kampouropoulos with interiors by award-winning designers Studio Lost, Amoh, a Luxury Collection Resort, translates Greece’s familiar decorative motifs into a vibrant collage of exceptional beauty. Built on a peninsula once utilized as a Hellenistic–Roman limestone quarry, the hotel boasts soothing interiors outfitted in stone, wood, and metal in warm, earthy neutrals that give way to watery blues in the glamorous bar and more vibrant shades around the picturesque pool.
The 197 rooms and suites offer sweeping views of the ocean or rocky landscape from private balconies or terraces (some including a private plunge pool), with the ultimate accommodation being the Rhoda Presidential Suite, a sea-facing, residential-style setting with a living room, dining area, furnished terrace, and swimming pool.
Equally attuned to the setting is Amoh’s culinary program, which draws on the rich heritage of the Dodecanese, with unique dishes that highlight ingredients from land and sea. Taking its cues from the island’s stone carving traditions, Lithos serves Mediterranean and vegetarian cuisine in a tranquil dining room featuring indoor and outdoor seating. Seafood–like lobster, prawns, crayfish, and king crabs—is the star at Kymata, while decadent Greek sweets are the main draw of Oniro Patisserie. Rounding out the epicurean offerings is the open-air Italian trattoria overlooking the ancient quarry, Cava di Pietra, as well as the steakhouse Glaze.
Equally intoxicating is Amoh’s multiple cocktail spaces—including a lively beach bar and secluded cigar lounge with room for just six guests at a time—and stunning spa sanctuary. Treatments take cues from nature with therapies incorporating earth, water, air, and fire.
Artisan details permeate the resort design as well as the unique experiences available to guests, including ceramics workshops with local craftsmen. Here, hidden coves are transformed into private dining venues, olive oil elevates succulent dishes and invigorating spa treatments, and centuries of history await to be discovered.
