Ixia has long been a favourite for travellers heading out from Manchester or Liverpool in search of that quintessential Greek island escape. Nestled on the sun-drenched coast of Rhodes, it offers the perfect balance of beachfront relaxation and proximity to the island's historical heart.

Whether you are a couple seeking a touch of luxury or a family looking for a well-organised resort base, Ixia provides a laid-back atmosphere. It is the kind of place where the days revolve around the beach and the evenings are best spent enjoying the Mediterranean breeze with a cold drink in hand.

Where to Stay in Ixia

Finding the right base is essential for a stress-free holiday. Ixia boasts a range of excellent options that cater to different travel styles, all located within easy reach of the shoreline.

• Atrium Platinum Resort and Spa: A luxury 5-star spa resort located on the coast of Ixia, ideal for those seeking a premium experience.
• Akti Imperial: This 4-star beachfront hotel is perfectly positioned in Ixia, on the island of Rhodes, making it a convenient choice for sun-seekers.
• Atlantica Princess Hotel: A well-regarded 4-star beachfront hotel located in Ialysos on the island of Rhodes, offering easy access to the water.

Beaches and Local Character

The coastline in this part of Rhodes is defined by its expansive, pebbled beaches and clear, inviting waters. It is a particularly popular spot for those interested in watersports, as the coastal breezes often provide the perfect conditions for windsurfing and sailing. Even if you prefer to stay on dry land, the beach promenade is ideal for a gentle stroll, offering beautiful views out across the Aegean.

Because Ixia is so well-connected to the wider region of Rhodes, you are never far from the island's famous old-town architecture and traditional winding streets. It is the best of both worlds: a modern, comfortable resort area to call home, with the rich history of the Greek Islands just a short trip away.

Getting There and When to Go

For UK travellers, flying into Rhodes is straightforward, with regular scheduled flights arriving throughout the summer months. Once you land, the transfer times to Ixia are generally short, meaning you can be checked into your hotel and heading for the beach within a couple of hours of leaving the airport.

If you prefer the height of the summer heat, the months of June through to September offer consistent sunshine and warm evenings. However, for those looking to explore the local towns without the intensity of the mid-summer sun, visiting in May or October can be a fantastic way to enjoy a quieter, more relaxed pace of life while still benefitting from the wonderful Greek climate.

Who Should Choose Ixia?

Ixia suits travellers who want a holiday that is easy to manage. It is a brilliant choice for families who appreciate the convenience of large, well-equipped hotels with plenty of on-site amenities. It is equally popular with couples who want a base that provides high-quality dining and relaxation without the frantic pace of the island's busiest party centres.

The area strikes a practical balance; it is refined enough to feel like a proper getaway, yet relaxed enough that you can spend your entire week in flip-flops and beachwear if you choose. If you are looking for a reliable, sunny destination that delivers on comfort and convenience, Ixia is difficult to beat.
