Why People Love It

9.7⭐33 reviews
  • The 'free' Tesla Model Y included with every booking
  • Private heated pools in every villa
  • Exceptional staff who treat you like family (shoutout to Hercules and Louise)

Quick Take: A brilliant concept execution where the rental car is the hotel amenity, even if the beach out front is a bit too 'natural' for swimming.

Reviewed by @thezaisers: I stayed in the Saltskin Villa and honestly, I felt like I was in a movie. The way the wind moves through the house is magical, and having my own private pool surrounded by nature gave us total privacy. It’s the most romantic spot I’ve found in Kos.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Guests are obsessed with the design, the staff, and the freedom the Tesla gives them.

Reality check

The 'private beach' is often disappointing due to seaweed and rocks; most guests drive to nearby Tigaki Beach instead.

  • You hate the hassle of renting a car separately
  • You value privacy and having your own pool over a big resort scene
  • You are an EV enthusiast or tech-forward traveler

Room Genie

Best picks

  • Villa Theodoros (3-bedroom) for larger groups—massive outdoor space
  • Saltskin Villa (1-bedroom) for couples seeking maximum privacy

Rooms to avoid

  • None are 'bad', but ask for a villa set further back if you are visiting in windy months (October/May) to shield the pool area.

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“We are excited for our stay. If possible, we'd love a villa that is somewhat sheltered from the wind to maximize our pool usage. We are also aware of the Tesla insurance requirement.”

FAQ & Hidden tips

Everything you actually want to know before you book.

Is the Tesla really free?

Yes, the rental is included, but you MUST pay for daily insurance (€25-35) and leave a deposit.

Can I swim in the beach in front?

Technically yes, but it's rocky and has seaweed. Walk 8 minutes to the main Tigaki beach for a better swim.

Is there a restaurant on site?

There is a 'snack bar' that serves excellent breakfast (included), lunch, and dinner, but it's not a full fine-dining venue.

Are the pools heated?

Yes, the private pools are heated, making them usable even in the shoulder season.

Is it good for kids?

Yes, there is a playground and the villas are spacious, but the 'wild' beach requires supervision.

How far is the airport?

About a 20-minute drive. The hotel offers a shuttle, but you have the Tesla once you arrive.
