Holidays with children in Rhodes: 15 hotels with a water park and all inclusive

Rhodes almost always ends up in the plans of families with kids. Here, water parks sit right next to beaches, and hotels keep slides and kids' zones on their own grounds. Choosing the right option is harder than it seems.

Most hotels in this selection operate on an all-inclusive basis and have a water park on site. Atlantica Dreams, Cyprotel Faliraki, Rodos Princess, and Sun Beach do not have a water park or all-inclusive, so check the conditions before booking. Amada Colossos, for example, has a Blue Flag beach and its own water park with slides. We based this on data from the hotels' official websites.

How to choose a hotel with a water park on Rhodes

💡 In short:

• Look at the first line: the water park is usually next to the sea and the main pool.
• Most of these hotels are in Faliraki and Kallithea, where the resort's large water park is also located.
• All-inclusive details and availability: 09/2026, checked on the Amada Colossos website and Atlantica Hotels.

On the east side, in Faliraki and Kallithea, you'll find more lively resorts with nightlife and hotels steps from the sea. The south, Kiotari and Lindos, is quieter: fewer clubs and more family-oriented stays.

Next, look at the size of the water park. At large complexes, the slides are set up as a separate zone with a kids' section; at smaller ones, they're built into the main pool. And one more thing: distance to the sea. Some hotels are on the second line, and you'll have to walk to the beach.

⁉️🤔 Frequently asked questions

Which hotel in Rhodes has the largest water park?

The largest water areas are at Amada Colossos, Atlantica Holiday Village Rhodes and Lindos Imperial Resort & Spa. Amada Colossos has a water park with five slides and a 140 m pool (as of 09/2026, official website). If the number of pools matters more to you than slides, choose Mitsis Faliraki: it has 20 freshwater pools (as of 09/2026, official website).

What does "all inclusive" include at these hotels?

It usually means three buffet meals a day, drinks and snacks throughout the day, access to the water park and pools, sports and entertainment. Some hotels also include a la carte restaurants, kids' clubs and a SPA area. The exact package depends on the hotel, so check the terms before booking.

Which hotel should I choose for a family with small children?

Look for hotels with a kids' club and a safe pool. Cyprotel Faliraki and Amada Colossos are good options: they have kids' clubs, safe pools and childcare staff. If your child needs a quiet routine, choose the south, for example Kiotari, where there is less nighttime noise.

Which coast of Rhodes should I choose for a vacation with a child?

On the east coast, in Faliraki and Kallithea, there are sandy beaches and plenty of entertainment nearby. The south, Kiotari and Lindos, is quieter and suits families who stick to a daily routine. The west near Ialysos is windy, and people go there for windsurfing more often than for swimming with little ones.

Do I need a car if the hotel with a water park is in the south?

In the south, in Kiotari and Lardos, hotels are far from Rhodes and the airport. Things are easier if you rent a car: that way you can visit Lindos, the beaches and the Old Town. Without a car, choose a hotel in Faliraki or Kallithea, where everything is close by.

In short: what to book

If you want the largest water park, go with Amada Colossos. For the most pools, head to Mitsis Faliraki. For a quiet south, Lindos Imperial and Lindos Royal are good options, while Olive Garden offers peace among the greenery.

Decide on the area and dates, then compare terms on hotel websites. In high season, good options with a water park get booked up quickly, so reserve early.
