Kos, Greece OKU Kos
A tranquil beachside sanctuary
Taking inspiration from traditional Greek island architecture, OKU Kos has a village-like feel with one- and two-storey cubist houses grouped around gardens and patios, with slow-living, mindfulness and minimalism at its core. An adults-only hideaway on Kos' northern coastline, the hotel is inspired by the Greek way of life, offering spacious guest rooms, suites and a handful of private two-bedroom villas for the ultimate in secluded luxury. The cubic buildings are contemporary and minimalist, derived from centuries-old Greek architectural style, with large terraces extending into private outdoor space. Clean-lined furniture combines with rough, natural textures and exotic accessories to create the perfect down-time sanctuary – inside, mid-century elements are contrasted with naturally tactile textures and traditionally handmade pieces, bringing a sense of timelessness, simplicity and sophistication.
Location
OKU Kos is located in the north of the island, in Sikamini near Marmari, on its own secluded stretch of beach and sprawling grounds.
Kos International Airport ("Hippocrates", KGS) is just a 15-minute drive away. Within easy driving distance are the charming historic Kos Old Town, the mountainside village of Zia, and the ancient ruins of the Asklepion, the island's famous healing temple.

Impressions
Cuisine
Throughout the day, To Kima restaurant is the communal hub of the hotel – from a hearty breakfast, included in every stay, to refined, locally-sourced bites late into the night. To Kima is derived from the Greek word for "wave" and is inspired by its oceanside island location, offering mouth-watering meat and fish dishes alongside vegan and vegetarian options. The laidback restaurant serves a nourishing breakfast followed by a refined yet casual all-day lunch menu, before transforming into the evening dinner space – sharing dishes, fresh salads and grills focused on local and Mediterranean cuisine with a fusion twist.
The bar is located at the heart of the hotel, nestled between the main swimming pool and the sand dunes, looking over the ocean with sunset views. Spend afternoons here in the shade with friends, or evenings sampling signature elixirs 'til late, accompanied by the sounds of the hotel's DJ.
Wellness
The sense of relaxation is enhanced by a separate spa and wellbeing area, encompassing an indoor pool, treatment rooms, and a glass-walled sauna overlooking a lush courtyard, with views through to the domed hammam. A place where body and mind can fully unwind amid calm, natural materials.
Experiences
Wooden walkways lead across to OKU Kos' private beach, with duos of sun beds lining the shore and open-air cabanas for those wanting more shade and space. Guests keen to explore further can venture out to the island's many beautiful, sun-kissed beaches. By the pool and sand dunes, the hotel's own bar sets the scene for relaxed afternoons and lively evenings with sunset views and DJ sounds – all in keeping with the slow-living philosophy that defines OKU Kos.
