The hotel in Rhodes voted ‘best in the world’ by TUI – with two infinity pools & is just one minute from the beach
TUI has revealed the “best hotel in the world,” and it’s only four hours from the UK.
For the second year in a row, the five-star Lindos Blu Luxury Hotel & Suites in Rhodes has won the award.
Built to resemble a hillside theatre, the hotel offers incredible views across Vlicha Bay, and it’s only a couple of steps away from the beach.
The Greek resort was selected as the best out of more than 10,000 hotels at the TUI Global Hotel Awards on March 4.
The award is an “annual award ceremony where TUI, on behalf of its more than 19 million guests worldwide, recognises the top 100 hotels in the world”.
The hotel has two infinity pools with incredible views, making it look like the water blends with the crystal-clear Aegean Sea.
There’s also a pool bar serving cocktails and light snacks all day long.
One of the two infinity pools is also heated, and there’s even an indoor pool if the weather doesn’t cooperate — although that’s very unlikely in Rhodes.

Activity-wise, the hotel has a tennis court that’s free to use for all guests and watersports.
There’s also a fully equipped gym with views over the Vilcha Gulf with a sauna and steam room.
When it comes to dining, there are two sea-view restaurants, Smerlando Mediterranean and Five Senses.
The Smerlando à la carte restaurant offers a gourmet Greek and Mediterranean buffet.
Meanwhile, the Five Senses offers “sophisticated Greek gastronomy” evening meals using locally sourced produce.
The two bars, Luna Rossa and Allegro, also offer views of the sea and occasionally offer live music at night.
There are 70 rooms to choose from, each with whirlpool baths, sea views and a private balcony or terrace.
These include junior suites with a private shared pool between two rooms and regular double rooms.
Rooms at the Lindos Blu Luxury Hotel & Suites start from £254 per night (£127pp) this year.
Meanwhile, week-long holiday packages cost from £999pp B&B, including your return flights with baggage allowance and resort transfers with TUI.
Although we understand you probably won’t want to leave the resort, Lindos town has plenty to offer.
In Lindos, you’ll find plenty of archaeological sites and monuments, Lindos’ main beach, and plenty of shops selling handmade goods and local treats.
To make it even better, the hotel is only an eight-minute car ride or a 15-minute bus journey from Lindos’ city centre.
Plus, not only does the hotel have five stars, but it also boasts a 5/5 TripAdvisor rating with more than 2,000 reviews.
Some holidaymakers have called it “the best hotel ever”, “fantastic” and “superb”.
Many reviewers shout out to the “fabulous staff” and “excellent service”.
TUI has also launched discounts of £150 per person on holidays to Greece this year, so you could bag the holiday at a cheaper price.
The discount is valid on holidays between May 1 and October 31, 2024, and you will need to use the code ”SUN150” to take advantage of it.
If you’re after an ultra-all-inclusive holiday, we’ve found a hotel in Turkey with Miami, Palm and Maldives-inspired beaches.
Elsewhere, we’ve revealed the tiny Italian island only locals know about, which is as good as Capri but much cheaper.
As well as the budget-friendly alternative to Corfu that’s hundreds cheaper, and fans claim has ‘better beaches’.
