- Mayia Exclusive Resort and Spa

The newly-built Mayia Exclusive Resort is located almost beachfront in the beautiful and tranquil area of Kiotari in south Rhodes. It offers premium all inclusive services and a distinctly modern experience with plenty of gastronomical concepts and choices, excellent drinking and relaxing spaces for guests to enjoy their holiday. This luxurious lifestyle resort offers modern facilities, high-end spa services, generous swimming areas all over the place and ample spaces that reflect the ultimate in luxury and excellence. It caters exclusively for couples and adults.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
We recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a beautiful property overall. The food selection across the resort is excellent; we particularly enjoyed the meals in the main dining hall, as well as the Greek and Italian restaurants, which were both very tasty. However, we did not personally enjoy the food at the Wasabi restaurant as much.
We stayed in a room with direct access to a shared pool. It is a very nice feature, though it is worth noting that there is a definite lack of privacy, which didn’t bother us much, but it is something to be aware of.
Regarding the beach, it is a bit difficult to enter the water due to the large stones in the shoreline area.
The biggest drawback for us, which was quite critical, was the significant number of insects—crickets and spiders in particular. It seems the hotel does not spray the grounds, which really impacted our comfort during the stay.
Excellent massage in the spa by Georgia this afternoon! Incredibly relaxing and she clearly knew exactly what she was doing!
The place is amazing, the staff is extremely kind and helpful, the food is great, the show with the Idols was great, also the white party was fun and I had a spa treatment with Jobi that was really great. I would definitely want to come back it’s an experience of a life time
My partner and I had a couples massage / King and Queen package and it was unreal! Jim and Georgia were extremely professional and attentive! Highly recommend if you’re staying at Mayia Resort. All the staff in the hotel are incredibly professional and friendly! Were on day 2 and so far had an excellent experience
Dearest Mayia
Thank you so much for a fantastic 2 week vacation. We enjoyed every minute from arrival to departure and am amazed about how well and how likeable your resort is.
We arrived early afternoon and had a fantastic reception, as early we had to be transported to Waterfront for our first lunch of many. Any shortly after we got to our "there can be only 1 007" - lovely room, swim up and proximity to everything.
We explored the resort and was already amazed about the many options you have thought of as a way to optimize hydration or even food intake, we panicked as water reservoir in room was 4 bootless only and someone quickly brought both water to less concerning level, some towels and for some extraordinaire reason even the nice guy for the minifridge and suddenly we were already a part of this to be best resort experience in Europe ever!
We enjoyed the waterfront, the a la carte and provided you with feedback (btw. always positive), we participated in both white party and the many many entertainment offerings you had, we loved the beach after the sun went above the swim up roof and had such a great vacation with daily pre-meal visits to the Champagne bar (you have a Champagne bar and even super nice champagnes), we had to go there also last night (post meal) to enjoy a last glass and say thank you to Darina for her lovely company and super service.
The whole floor is a oozes of pleasing the resort guest and Kristof is super Captain on the bridge of the hotel and with a smile, his strong sense of humor and a professional attitude makes you feel welcome in the Champagne bar with piano entertainment or the Wasabi restaurant with great view of the "pictures staircase" and resort.
We enjoyed a lot of meals in Waterfront and especially when having sashimi or shellfish themes, but in general every day for breakfast and lunch, our hostess applying a professional seating option, the wonderful service from Erisa, Maria or other smiling and positive people seeing to that your hydration was never on low and to the always engaged and encouraging service in the evening for dinner from Altin and the team running the outdoor (and Shiroz).
We can only say after many many resorts in Greece, Spain, Italy etc. Mayia we love your concept, we appreciate the SUPER warm and always attentive and positive attitude and we are stunned by how well you run everything despite this not being a small resort. We did appreciate that also the general manager had his daily walkabout, as this just show commitment.
Yes we will be back if not already this year then for sure next year!
Lamb shank (2x), amazing dishes at the Waterfront and super cool lunches at Al Dente with a crisp of gourmet steak at flame . . . what is not to like . . . imagine going all the stairs to the beach and the first thing you see is the bartender of all times standing there with 2 bottles of cold water !
Kiotari is there and I feel we should have been more attentive/supportive than our one time walkabout, but even with 14 days on your hand it's just so difficult to get out of Mayia!
We did take the "boat by Lindos" and the boat trip is great - Lindos not so much :-)
