A 14-room boutique hotel perched on Faliraki bay, far from the bustle of Rhodes Town.
Marini Seaside
From
186.58 €
“Direct access to Kastri beach, a cove of golden shingle where bathers can be counted on the fingers of one hand.”
Marini Seaside occupies a promontory above Faliraki bay, Kastri side, where the coast turns rocky and calm. We slept in a 28 m² room with teak terrace, light stone floor, king bed facing the sea. Morning light enters through three picture windows, silence broken only by the waves. The restaurant serves honest Mediterranean cuisine, grilled fish and seasonal vegetables, without gastronomic pretensions. Service is attentive, never intrusive, you sense the family management. From 186,58 € per night, it's a rare value-for-money for a 5★ in Greece with this view and this calm. We recommend for a few days' retreat, not for a lively stay ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Marini to couples in their thirties and up seeking absolute calm without sacrificing comfort. It's an address for late honeymoons, post-burnout retreats, compulsive readers wanting a car-free week. Families with young children will find what they need thanks to the private beach, but the atmosphere remains hushed, no entertainment.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The building dates from 2019, Cycladic architecture revisited: white volumes, flat roofs, driftwood pergolas. Interiors in Lindos stone and limed oak, 3.20-metre ceilings, floor-to-ceiling sliding windows. The 14 rooms are spread over two staggered levels, each with unobstructed bay views. The scale remains intimate, rarely crossing more than three couples at breakfast.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
The Marini restaurant serves breakfast and dinner on a terrace suspended above the sea. Short menu: grilled catch of the day, braised octopus, revisited Greek salad, house desserts. Chef Nikos Papadopoulos works with Faliraki fishermen and inland market gardeners. No starred table, but honest cooking and impeccable produce. Breakfast service stretches to 11.30am, a rare luxury in Greece.

Location & access
Where the hotel sits in Rhodes
Marini stands at Kastri, southern tip of Faliraki bay, 14 km from Rhodes Town. Faliraki village is 2 km away, with its tavernas and supermarkets, but the immediate neighbourhood remains residential and quiet. Rhodes Airport 20 minutes by car, car hire essential to explore Lindos (25 km) or the old town. Kastri beach is semi-private, frequented by a handful of locals and guests from two neighbouring hotels.
