Alykés

Alykés - A hollow in which seawater is received and evaporated

Set beside the peaceful, sand-and-pebble beach at Lachania, Alykés is a collection of three private high-end villas, each with their own swimming pool. Our stylish beachside retreats are located along the quiet, undeveloped, southeastern coast of Rhodes island.

Alykés translates as saltern, a set of pools where seawater evaporates to make sea salt; there are some natural alykés just along the coast from the villas.

The individual villas are named Neró (water), Vráchos (rock) and Aláti (salt), reflecting the individual elements necessary for alykés.

With a stylish open-plan design, superb views, laid-back beach vibes and amazing private pools they’re perfect for sharing magical memories with your loved ones. Great for families, couples or groups of friends.

South Rhodes

This is unspoilt Rhodes.

The area of South Rhodes is our home. Which means we know it intimately. And this hidden corner of Rhodes is a world apart from the bustling Medieval Town and hectic tourist resorts.
This is unspoilt Rhodes. This is peaceful Rhodes. This is authentic Greece.

Lachania

The quaint village of Lachania sits just inland, just a couple of minutes away from Alykés villas, at the base of the island’s mountainous spine. Renowned as one of the most beautiful villages in Rhodes, it oozes traditional charm. Vivid bougainvillea clings to whitewashed houses, and daily life centres on the village square under the shade of the large plane tree.

Our villas are inspired by Greek nature, something echoed in both their design and their names. Alykés translates as saltern, a set of pools where seawater evaporates to make sea salt; there are some natural alykés just along the coast from the villas. The individual villas are named Neró (water), Vráchos (rocks) and Aláti (salt), reflecting the individual elements necessary for alykés.

Windsurf

It is made up of two sandy coves and offers perfect sailing conditions, with flat water and waves in one location. The very reliable Meltemi wind which gets a local boost here due to the area’s special topography, gives the area stronger winds than anywhere else on the island.
