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)
Snel Overzicht: 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.
Beoordeeld door @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.

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

Kamers om te vermijden
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.

“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.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
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.
