The sea never leaves the room.

Founded in 2005 on the seafront of Kos Town, Kos Aktis was conceived as an art hotel of glass, water and light. Forty-nine rooms in all: thirty-six rooms, six suites and seven that stand right on the water. Not one turns its back on the Aegean. Open all year, quietly, the way the island lives.

Kos Aktis seen from the sea, its turquoise glass balconies rising behind a tall palm, sun loungers and the beach.

Forty-nine ways to wake to the Aegean.

Three room types, one constant: the open sea, just beyond the glass.

Breakfast for two, with orange juice and coffee, on a table right by the sea, with two sailing yachts anchored offshore.

H2O, all day, on the water.

Built out over the sea, H2O is where the day unfolds: a Greek breakfast certified since 2012, coffee that drifts into lunch, and a dinner table the Aegean quietly lights.

“First and foremost, the staff were super-friendly, helpful and welcoming. … The room was on point, newly decorated and always clean.
