We recently stayed at Mayia Exclusive Resort and were absolutely impressed. The property is stunning, aesthetically beautiful, spotless, and immaculately maintained. Even though we visited at the end of the season, the resort still offered an excellent selection of drinks, including premium options, which was a pleasant surprise.
The street food area was particularly good, offering plenty of variety and great quality. There was something for everyone; a lovely coffee shop, “Healthy Bites” for lighter options, delicious crêpes, ice cream, patisserie treats, and a burger/taco/gyro bar that became one of our favourites.
For lunch, we found the buffet to be quite repetitive, so we opted for the à la carte restaurants instead and thoroughly enjoyed every meal there. The dinner buffet, however, was gorgeous and varied nightly with different themes, making it something to look forward to each evening.
Housekeeping did a fantastic job; I worried reading other reviews but our room was cleaned daily, and the minibar was always restocked with drinks, Haribo, crisps, and cheese crackers, which was a lovely touch.
The only downside was on our last day when I had a Crohn’s flare-up. We asked to keep our room a little longer past check-out so I could have access to my own bathroom, but the resort requested €200 to extend the stay until 7 p.m. Given it was the end of the season and the hotel wasn’t full, we felt that charge was a bit steep.
Overall, though, Mayia Exclusive Resort is a beautiful and luxurious place to relax, with great food, fantastic facilities, and exceptional cleanliness. We would happily return.

We visited for our honeymoon in July and had the most amazing time. Special shoutout to Tsambikos, Bledi and Dimitrios who were all so welcoming and friendly. Tsambikos went above and beyond as I lost my phone and sunglasses in a taxi one night and he retrieved them for me. Bledi is the kindest also and I’d happily visit again just to see the team!
The resort is spotless and just feels like paradise. The main restaurant could be better. I’d recommend booking in the restaurants every night as they were great. I really loved the snack bar near the pool and cakes from the bakery. The white party was great fun too! I’d say the only thing I’d love for them to add is music by all poolside areas but apart from that, we had an amazing honeymoon! Thank you to all at Mayia! 🥰

The hotel is absolutely stunning on arrival, huge, stylish and beautifully designed.
We stayed in a standard room which was lovely. The free beach bag was a nice touch, the Molton Brown toiletries were great and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The view from our room was breathtaking.
What really makes this hotel special is the staff. Every single person we met greeted us with genuine warmth and smiles. Special shoutouts to Daria in the buffet restaurant (had us laughing every day and offered fantastic service), Alexandra in Al Dente (the smiliest person you’ll ever meet), Richard at the pool bar (an absolute diamond, so friendly and attentive) and Altzen, our pool waiter (this man never stops your glass will never be empty!)
The restaurants offer great variety, with plenty of healthy options and a really nice street food section. The gym is one of the best I’ve seen at a holiday hotel, modern, spacious and very well equipped.
It’s a perfect destination for a relaxing break. If I had to give a little constructive feedback, I’d say a few extra touches could elevate the experience even more — things like a pillow or fragrance menu in the room. Also the entertainment was a bit limited and I think the gym classes would be even better if held outdoors.
There are also a couple of friendly hotel cats wandering around — if you’re an animal lover, bring a few treats or some dry food (we didn’t notice a feeding station, but the cats looked healthy and well so hopefully someone in the hotel sorts them
Out daily)
Overall a fantastic stay and a wonderful place to unwind. Highly recommend!

My husband Nick and I stayed at Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa in Rhodes for our honeymoon and wow, it exceeded all of our expectations. This is the most incredible all-inclusive resort we have experienced - the staff was beyond attentive and very friendly. The resort was absolutely spotless, exceptionally clean and absolutely gorgeous - and let’s not forget the incredible views. Our room had a private pool that was shared with 6 other room, which was an amazing perk to our stay! Our room was huge, spacious and stunning- and exceptionally clean! The food at the Greek and Asian restaurants were absolutely delicious, and the buffet restaurant offered a wide variety of food, which was also very delicious! The pool restaurant offered delicious food to eat for lunch and the pool bar offered a wide variety of cocktails, wines and beer and staff was attentive when trying to order a drink throughout the day! The resort offers two large pools, which were very clean and spacious - we spent most of our days sitting by the pool, which offered a lot of lounge chairs and umbrellas to accommodate all the guest comfortably. We also scheduled a couples massage at the spa, which was an incredible experience - the spa staff was lovely - the spa offered many services, had 2 saunas, a steam room, a relaxation room and a indoor pool and hot tub. We had full access to all the amenities and it was beyond relaxing! Needless to say, we will 100% be returning to Mayia, gladly. It was flawless and an absolute honor to have such a wonderful experience to celebrate our honeymoon here!

An absolutely incredible adults only hotel which is most deserving of it's luxury 5-star status. Even before the holiday, the staff were super helpful in assisting with queries via email. From arrival to departure, every member of staff I interacted with was polite, friendly and welcoming.
The hotel has great restaurants for lunch and dinner (the latter you book via their app). The Italian restaurant was my favourite but the majority had good veggie/vegan options (Wasabi needs more veggie/vegan main course options though). The entertainment programme has something for everyone, both during the day and in the evening. Spa treatments are very expensive but you can access the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi for free.
The pools were chilly in October so the beach was a warmer option. Great pool bars and service at both.
Location is remote so perfect for a relaxing indulgent escape but plenty of excursions can be booked easily via the concierge.
Overall an amazing holiday, so much so that I'm considering booking again for next year!
