The chic Sentido Port Royal Villas & Spa is an exclusive getaway for couples, offering direct access to a beach cove, elegant dining settings, a full-service spa, a stylish hair and nail salon, lagoon pools, and a lazy river. There are 185 luxury bungalows with stylish details -- some with pools and sea views. The spa is a romantic setting with dark wood walls, candlelight, treatment rooms, a Vichy shower, a sauna/steam room, and a solarium with curved, cushioned lounge chairs. The live entertainment from the nearby hotel, though, can be noisy and light sleepers might want to book rooms away from that side of the property.

The 70-room boutique Lindos Blu is a luxury, adult-only hotel built into a steep hillside outside historic Lindos, with spectacular panoramic views of the Aegean. From the moment guests arrive, no detail is neglected, from welcome drinks to waiter service at the private beach, from the abundant (and delicious) free breakfast, to dinner at the hotel's romantic, gourmet restaurant. Rooms are spacious, luxe, and lovely, with whirlpool tubs, balconies, and, in some, private pools.

The 146-room Lindian Village is a quiet, romantic, luxury getaway geared to couples. The property includes a stylish pool area, and couples can arrange both candlelit dinners and wine tastings on the beach. There's also a lovely spa and indoor pool, Greek cooking lessons, and a fitness center with personal trainers. Rooms provide modern comforts, and some have private pools. The hotel’s location, though, is far from the tourist attractions.

The Amathus Elite Suites is a luxury property on the Aegean Seafront on Rhodes Island. This suites-only boutique hotel delivers lavishness and privacy with manicured gardens, beach access, an exclusive restaurant with sea views, an elegant spa with a freshwater pool, and a farewell surprise gift. The 36 suites are chic and modern, with sleek furniture, recessed blue lightning, and sea views -- most have private pools. A road, partly hidden by hedges, runs in front of the hotel.

The 205-room Sentido Lindos Bay Resort and Spa is a mid-range romantic retreat for couples on Vlycha Beach, about a five-minute drive from the village of Lindos. The property offers beautiful sea views from two outdoor pools, as well as from stylish restaurants and bar terraces. One pool is adjacent to the shingle beach, where rows of lounge chairs welcome sun-seekers. The three on-site restaurants serve a Mediterranean buffet, regional specialties, and international cuisine -- there's also a gelateria and bars by the pool and in the lobby. The serene spa has a sauna and steam room, the gym is bright and modern, and there's a lovely indoor pool and hot tub. Guest rooms are spacious and modern, with balconies offering sea or mountain views

With six uniquely designed medieval rooms, the Spirit of the Knights is an intimate and romantic escape on a cobblestone street in the heart of Rhodes. The upscale property has a hot tub in a charming courtyard, free-made-to-order breakfast, a bar with brick archways, and free Wi-Fi. Each room is furnished with flat-screen TVs, Greek antiques, and hand-carved furnishings. The family-run hotel is a five- to 10-minute drive from the harbor, and within walking distance of restaurants and bars. The grounds are elegant and serene, with white stone stairways, seating nooks, and lush green plants.

The 308-room Atrium Platinum Hotel is a luxury Aegean seaside resort for couples and families, located a quick drive from Rhodes City. The hotel offers a full fleet of amenities and services, which is great for travelers keen on spending most of their time on the property. Features include two game rooms, five modern restaurants and two bars, and a glitzy full-service spa. Wi-Fi and breakfast are free. The hotel has contemporary furnishings, but the minimalist design feels sterile and unfinished in some areas.

The 380-room Princess Andriana Resort and Spa is a quiet and modern beach sanctum for families and couples with three big pools. There are two restaurants and a terrace snack bar, and live music in the evenings. The Euphoria spa is modern, decorated with a sauna/steam room, Turkish bath, shower room, solarium, and stylish indoor pool that features recessed circular lights and artificial metal trees. Rooms are stylish and serene; some have balconies and private pools. But the hotel is slightly removed from Rhodes City.
