Rhodes just got luxe: marriott’s luxury collection lands with amoh resort
The Aegean is about to get a serious upgrade. Marriott’s Luxury Collection has officially touched down on the iconic Greek island of Rhodes, courtesy of the newly opened Amoh Resort, offering discerning travelers a fresh, points-friendly route to paradise.
Amoh: a stone’s throw from lindos history
Located in Pefki, east of the island, Amoh is strategically positioned just minutes from the car-free, breathtaking village of Lindos and its dramatically preserved Acropolis. But the resort’s inspiration goes deeper than just ancient ruins; the design team, led by Studio Lost, drew heavily from the island’s centuries-old stonework traditions – a deliberate nod to Rhodes’ layered past, evident in the sculptural stone elements sourced directly from a nearby Hellenistic-Roman limestone quarry.
Beyond the brochure: design and dining
Forget predictable luxury. Amoh’s aesthetic is a considered study in muted earth tones, natural stone, and artisanal craftsmanship. A total of 197 rooms and suites, including the opulent Rhoda Presidential Suite boasting its own private pool and terrace, provide a sophisticated basecamp. But the real draw is the culinary experience: eight restaurants and bars – Lithos Main Restaurant, Cava di Pietra, and Kymata – serve up a delightful fusion of Mediterranean classics and local specialties. Think olive tastings, sunset aperitivos, and a patisserie churning out authentic Greek delights.
Points to paradise
For Marriott Bonvoy members, Amoh represents a compelling new option for racking up points. With nightly rates starting around $500, or 76,000 points, access to this stunning resort is now squarely within reach. Guests can unwind with a full complement of amenities, from a fitness center and tennis courts to indoor and outdoor pools – and a spa offering treatments utilizing traditional Greek ingredients like olive oil and Cretan raki.
A shore thing
Two private beaches, Kavos Beach and Kymata Beach, provide direct access to the turquoise waters of the Aegean. It’s a deliberate move to offer a truly integrated experience, blending the island’s rich heritage with modern luxury. And while the resort is open seasonally from April to October, it’s already establishing itself as a cornerstone of Rhodes’ expanding tourism landscape – a welcome addition for those seeking more than just a postcard view.
