All-Inclusive Family Hotels on Kos, Coast by Coast
10 family-friendly hotels with all inclusive in Kos . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Kos is a long, narrow island, and its family resorts gather in three places. Marmari and Tigaki, on the north coast, have long sandy beaches with shallow water, and that is where Caravia Beach, Grecotel Casa Paradiso, Atlantica Marmari Beach and Astir Odysseus sit. Kardamena, on the south coast, holds the largest group: Atlantica Beach Resort, Grand Blue Beach, Canvas by Mitsis Family Village and Akti Beach Club. Kipriotis Village stands at Psalidi, just outside Kos Town, and Neptune at Mastichari, further west on the north coast. Not every hotel on this list works on an all-inclusive basis: Astir Odysseus and Neptune sell half board, and I say so below. I compare what each package covers, the kids' clubs and the beaches.
Kos is about 40 km long, with its airport in the middle of the island and Kos Town at the eastern tip. The north coast between Tigaki, Marmari and Mastichari has the long sandy beaches with shallow water, and the meltemi wind that blows there in summer draws windsurfers and keeps afternoons breezy. Kardamena, on the south coast, is livelier and more built up, with a beach that is busy in high season. Kos Town has the harbour, the castle of the Knights and the plane tree of Hippocrates, and its flat seafront is easy with a buggy. From Mastichari, small boats cross to the island of Kalymnos.

🍽️Why Kos works for an all-inclusive family week
An all-inclusive week suits Kos because the island is small enough that the airport, Kos Town and the main beaches are all within a short drive, and most families spend their days between the pool and the sea. What separates the resorts is the coast: the windy, sandy north, or the busier south around Kardamena.
Marmari is the quieter base, with a long sandy beach and shallow water that suit small children. The steady north wind that makes it a windsurfing spot also means a breezy afternoon in summer, so the hotel pools matter. Caravia Beach, a four-star with a 9.3 score, has a Blue Flag beach in front, water slides at its second pool, a mini-disco and windsurfing and tennis included. Grecotel Casa Paradiso has a guests-only beach section, two à la carte restaurants, a Greek-focused buffet and a Grecotel Kids Club with scheduled outings. Atlantica Marmari Beach adds a water slide zone, a toddler splash area, a kids' club for ages 4 to 12 and nightly entertainment through summer, on a beach of sand and pebbles. All three are about 15 minutes by car from Kos Town.
Kardamena, on the south coast, has shed most of its old party reputation and now holds the largest cluster of family resorts on Kos, though its beach gets crowded in peak season and the seabed is rocky in places, so water shoes help. Atlantica Beach Resort is a beachfront five-star with four restaurants, a supervised kids' club in age groups, a toddler pool and evening entertainment for teenagers. Grand Blue Beach has three restaurants, a large free-form pool and a kids' pool with a pirate-themed splash zone, with its package covering meals, snacks, soft drinks, local beer and house wine through the day. Canvas by Mitsis Family Village sits about 200 metres from the beach with a free shuttle, four restaurants and a kids' buffet with booster seats and small cutlery.
Two Kardamena-area hotels and one near Kos Town answer more specific needs. Akti Beach Club, in the Tholari area, has eight outdoor pools including five for children and a club for babies up to age 4, which makes it the strongest pick here for a toddler; its waterpark trips are a taxi ride away. Canvas by Mitsis runs its animation in July and August only, with separate mini and maxi clubs, so families travelling in June or September should not count on it. Kipriotis Village Resort, at Psalidi on the edge of Kos Town, is part of a larger complex with several kids' clubs and shared access to the Kipriotis Aqualand water park, about a ten-minute walk away or a short ride on the minibus that runs through the day.
Astir Odysseus at Tigaki and Neptune at Mastichari are listed here because families compare them with the all-inclusive resorts, but both sell half board rather than an all-inclusive package. Astir Odysseus is a five-star bungalow resort on 500 metres of Blue Flag Tigaki beach, with a 9.3 score and a junior tennis camp for ages 6 to 14 from June to September. Neptune, on Mastichari's sandy beach, has the most structured kids' offer on the island, with separate clubs for ages 4 to 7, 8 to 12 and 13 to 17, plus three floodlit clay tennis courts. For families who want drinks and snacks covered all day, the Marmari and Kardamena hotels fit better; for families who eat out a few nights, these two are worth the comparison.
Parent's take
For young children, my pick would be Caravia Beach at Marmari: shallow sand, a Blue Flag beach right in front and slides at the second pool. A toddler changes the answer to Akti Beach Club in Kardamena, where five children's pools and a club taking babies up to 4 are hard to find elsewhere. Teenagers would get the most from Atlantica Beach Resort, with its evening programme aimed at them. Astir Odysseus and Neptune are half-board hotels, not all-inclusive ones, and Canvas by Mitsis loses its kids' club outside July and August.
Our Top 10 Picks
Hotels in Kos with all inclusive, sorted by guest rating.
Astir Odysseus Kos Resort and Spa
Tigaki Beach
Wonderful
1,250 reviews
A sprawling 5-star bungalow resort on Tigaki's blue-flag sandy beach with 3 hard tennis courts (1 floodlit) and a HTP-affiliated junior tennis camp from June to September. The resort runs a half-board plus tennis package that includes 5 morning sessions for kids and 2 hours of court time for parents per day.
From
€345/night
Why families love Astir Odysseus Kos Resort and Spa
Astir Odysseus is the family-tennis flagship on Kos — kids' camp from age 6, multiple coaches, and a tournament every Friday with prizes. The bungalow layout means you're never more than 100m from the courts, the kids' club, or the pool. Family suites have a separate kids' room and the breakfast buffet handles fussy eaters with a build-your-own pancake station.
Caravia Beach Hotel
Marmari
Wonderful
1,400 reviews
A 4-star beachfront all-inclusive in Marmari with two large outdoor pools, a water slide section for kids, tennis equipment, windsurfing gear, and active evening entertainment. The resort sits 15 minutes' drive from Kos Town and 10 minutes from Tigaki's shallow bay.
From
€380/night
Why families love Caravia Beach Hotel
I would choose Caravia Beach Hotel for families who want an active all-inclusive by a gentle beach. This 4-star in Marmari faces a Blue Flag beach and has two large outdoor pools, with a water slide section for children at the second one. Tennis and windsurfing gear are included, and evenings bring entertainment and a mini-disco. Kos Town is 15 minutes by car and Tigaki's shallow bay about ten, and a 9.3 score from 1,400 reviews stands out.
Neptune Luxury Resort
Mastichari (north coast)
Wonderful
2,340 reviews
A long-running family resort on Mastichari's sandy beach with 3 tennis courts (synthetic clay), a Mouratoglou-style junior coaching programme and the strongest kids' club on Kos with separate buildings for ages 4-7, 8-12 and 13-17. Tennis is included in the half-board rate with priority booking for in-house guests.
From
€312/night
Why families love Neptune Luxury Resort
Neptune is the all-rounder for tennis families with mixed-age kids. The teen club is a genuine separate building with table tennis, gaming consoles and supervised pool access — meaningful when you have a 14-year-old who refuses to sit at the same table as their 6-year-old sibling. Two-bedroom family rooms work well for four. The 7am tennis slot is the secret weapon: empty courts, no wind, kids still asleep.
Canvas by Mitsis Family Village
Kardamena
Excellent
1,600 reviews
A 4-star all-inclusive resort 200 metres from Kardamena beach with two outdoor pools, four restaurants, and a family-focused programme built for under-10s. Free shuttle to the beach area. Kids animation runs July-August with an age-split mini and maxi club.
From
€287/night
Why families love Canvas by Mitsis Family Village
I see Canvas by Mitsis Family Village as a practical pick for families with children under ten. This 4-star all-inclusive sits 200 m from Kardamena beach, with a free shuttle, two outdoor pools and four restaurants included. In July and August the kids' animation splits into a mini-club and a maxi-club by age, and the buffet has a kids' section with booster seats and small cutlery. Its 8.7 score from 1,600 reviews is consistent.
Akti Beach Club
Kardamena
Excellent
950 reviews
A 5-star resort in Kardamena (Tholari area) with eight outdoor pools including five kids pools, a tennis court, archery, three restaurants, and a dedicated kids club for ages up to 4. The Lido Water Park is a 15-minute drive and not on-site; hotel reception can arrange taxis.
From
€406/night
Why families love Akti Beach Club
I would book Akti Beach Club for families with babies and toddlers. This 5-star resort near Kardamena has eight outdoor pools, five of them for children, so the shallow water is rarely crowded, and its kids' club is designed for little ones up to age 4. Older children have a tennis court, archery and aerobics. There is no water park on site: Lido Water Park is a 15-minute drive, and reception can arrange a taxi.
Grand Blue Beach Hotel
Kardamena
Excellent
1,900 reviews
A 5-star beachfront resort in Kardamena with three restaurants, a large free-form main pool, a kids pool with a pirate-themed splash zone, and a spa. The all-inclusive package covers three meals, snacks, soft drinks, local beers and house wines from 10am to 11pm.
From
€290/night
Why families love Grand Blue Beach Hotel
Grand Blue Beach Hotel is the Kos resort I would book for younger children who love water play. It sits on the beachfront in Kardamena, with a large free-form main pool and a kids' pool with a pirate-themed splash zone. The all-inclusive package covers three meals, snacks and drinks from 10am to 11pm across three restaurants and the pool and beach bars. Parents can use the spa with sauna and hammam, and family rooms are available.
Atlantica Marmari Beach
Marmari
Excellent
1,250 reviews
A 4-star beachfront Atlantica property in Marmari with a water slide zone, large main pool, toddler splash area, kids club for 4-12s, and all-inclusive dining across two restaurants. Entertainment runs nightly through summer. Location is quieter than Kardamena.
From
€363/night
Why families love Atlantica Marmari Beach
I would choose Atlantica Marmari Beach for families who want slides and a beach in a quieter spot than Kardamena. This 4-star beachfront resort in Marmari has a water slide zone that runs on a rotation schedule, a large main pool and a toddler splash area. The kids' club takes ages 4 to 12, entertainment runs nightly through summer, and all-inclusive dining covers two restaurants. The beach mixes sand and pebbles, so water shoes help.
Grecotel Casa Paradiso
Marmari
Excellent
1,100 reviews
A 4-star Grecotel property on a private stretch of Marmari beach with two à la carte restaurants, a Grecotel Kids Club, and a strong focus on Greek ingredients at the buffet. The all-inclusive plan includes lunch, dinner, local drinks and a mid-afternoon snack. The beach has sunbeds for guests only.
From
€416/night
Why families love Grecotel Casa Paradiso
The food is the reason to pick this one. Grecotel invests in local producers and the buffet actually tastes Greek: grilled octopus, proper tzatziki, fresh feta every morning. The kids club space is small but the team runs outings to the beach and the playground. Rooms feel dated but everything works. Private beach area keeps it calm even in peak season.
Kipriotis Village Resort
Psalidi (Kos Town outskirts)
Very Good
3,210 reviews
A 4-star all-inclusive resort with 4 tennis courts, the highest court count of any family hotel on Kos, and a budget-friendly junior coaching programme. Part of the larger Kipriotis complex with shared facilities including a water park and 5 kids' clubs across the property cluster.
From
€162/night
Why families love Kipriotis Village Resort
Kipriotis Village is the value-for-money pick. Four courts means you can almost always find a free hour without booking, and the basic-but-effective junior camp does the job for kids who just want to hit balls and have fun. The water park access (free for guests) is a major bonus when tennis fatigue sets in. Half-board rooms can feel basic — pay up for the renovated wing if you want bedding and AC quality to match the activities.
Atlantica Beach Resort Kos
Kardamena
Very Good
2,800 reviews
Beachfront 5-star all-inclusive in Kardamena with four restaurants, a spa, a supervised kids club, a dedicated toddler pool, and evening entertainment for teens. Rooms face the garden or the sea, and the resort has direct access to a sandy swimming beach with loungers included.
From
€382/night
Why families love Atlantica Beach Resort Kos
I recommend Atlantica Beach Resort to families who want a beachfront all-inclusive where the children are well catered for. This five-star in Kardamena has direct access to a sandy swimming beach with loungers included, a dedicated toddler pool and a supervised kids' club with age-grouped sessions. Four restaurants are part of the all-inclusive package, evening entertainment keeps teenagers busy, and the spa gives parents a break. Rooms face the garden or the sea, and 2,800 reviews average 8.0.
💡How to pick the right all-inclusive resort on Kos
- 1Check the board before the hotel name: Astir Odysseus and Neptune sell half board, while the Marmari and Kardamena resorts on this page are built around an all-inclusive package.
- 2The north coast at Marmari and Tigaki is sandy and shallow but windy on summer afternoons; plan beach time in the morning and keep the pool for later in the day.
- 3Kardamena's beach is rocky in places and crowded in July and August, so pack water shoes and use the hotel pools when the sand fills up.
- 4Canvas by Mitsis runs its kids' animation only in July and August, so families travelling in June or September should choose a hotel with a season-long club.
- 5At Kipriotis Village, the Aqualand water park is a ten-minute walk away, and a minibus runs through the day for children who are too tired to walk back.
- 6With a toddler, Akti Beach Club's five children's pools and its club for babies up to 4 cover the age that most kids' clubs on Kos do not take.
- 7Caravia Beach includes windsurfing gear and tennis equipment in its package, which makes it a strong pick for teenagers who want to try a sport.
