The hype
Guests are obsessed with the architecture, the staff's friendliness, and the chill vibe, but many balk at the dinner prices.
Oku Hotel Kos
$170-550/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want a hyper-aesthetic, adults-only Greek island sanctuary where 'slow living' is enforced by the lack of anything else to do nearby.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- The 'boho-minimalist' design is practically engineered for Instagram
- Private sandy beach with waiter service and plenty of space
- Exceptional breakfast buffet with local honey, honeycomb, and made-to-order eggs
Kurzfassung: It's a stunning design fortress in the middle of nowhere, so prepare to pay captive-audience prices for dinner or rent a car.
Bewertet von @sophielvtravel: Staying at Oku Kos felt like living in a design magazine. My private pool suite was a total sanctuary, and the adults-only silence was exactly what I needed. The food was fresh, the sunsets were unreal, and I've never felt more relaxed. Highly recommend for a couple's escape.
