Scene
Luxurious, adult-only boutique
The Lindos Blu clings to the side of a cliff above the Aegean, built terrace-like into the hill so that every window has a spectacular view. The architecture incorporates rich woods, stone, and acres of glass so that the landscape becomes part of the design. Decor is white, with white orchids throughout. Fountains add to the natural elegance of common areas and there are black and white art photographs on the walls.The private beach sets a relaxed, refined atmosphere with white canopied sun beds, straw parasols, and waiter service. The pools, surrounded with terraced wooden decks and white lounges, run right to the edge of the cliff. The spa has a Greek zen vibe, with lots of light and picture windows, whitewash and stone, and flowers floating in the soaking tubs.
Location
Built into a scenic hillside with stunning sea views, 15 minutes from historic Lindos
The Lindos Blu is built into the side of a steep hill overlooking Vlicha Bay. The views are unmatched, and the area is peaceful and isolated, but the historic village of Lindos is a mile from the entrance. Although it is only a 15-minute walk to Lindos, the road is not pedestrian friendly (a taxi or bus can take guests to Lindos). The Rhodes airport and port are 30 miles away.
