OKU Kos, Greece

OKU is a gorgeous adults only boutique hotel, superbly situated on a private white sand beach and laid out like a little seaside village. The boho-chic accommodation includes neat touches like poolside hammocks, roof terraces and locally crafted furniture, and daily life centres around the pool and laid-back beach club. Wellness and a sense of quiet contentment runs through everything here, from sunrise yoga classes on the beach to chilled tunes and craft cocktails as the sun goes down.
