"The best journeys come alive with stories. Write your own in this jewel of taste, Greek culture and supreme location."

THE NECTAR

In one word: WOW! The 100-room hide-away was custom-built on a spectacular beach with equal emphasis on cocoon-like spaces for private retreat and social areas that foster a sense of community. Slow-living, mindfulness and minimalism are some values reaching out to people who are looking for personal fulfillment, consciousness and a deeper engagement with others. This beachside hotel combines global movements and urban trends which is also represented in the thoughtful and tasteful design. All this is expressed by the Greek word "Paréa" which inspired the hotel's creation process. We loved the relaxed vibe and it truly is the perfect stage for spontaneous celebrations and new encounters. Slow-living at its best. Choose one of five different room types all designed in natural tones and a mix of rustic and smooth materials. We slept very well on COCO-MAT mattresses, loved the wireless Marshall speakers and Meraki cosmetics in the rooms. At the gym you can do your workout on state-of-the art NOHrD equipment or enjoy a yoga class in the courtyard. After that you should definitely try the hammam or head to the big pool area right next to the restaurant with very cosy sun beds and a great vibe.

THE PULSE

OKU Kos lies directly on the beach of Marmari: with the mountains of Kos and those of Kalymnos and Pserimos on the horizon, nature steals the show. The hotel was designed to fit into the surrounding landscape and the cubist Greek houses. It feels like a small Greek village. It ticks many boxes of what the modern individual traveller desires. At To Kima beach club you enjoy your delicious breakfast and farm-to-table food creations by Ettore Botrini and Chef Michaelis Chondrompilas with bold Mediterranean flavours. 

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Living in the Junior Suite was pure luxury especially having a private pool which you share with 2-3 other guests (which you don't really notice). The design is very thoughtful, tasteful and cosy. You even have your own hammock on your private terrace. Being there 4 days we tried as many things as possible: horse riding on the beach, wind surfing, paddle boarding, SPA treatments, yoga, hiking, a speed boat tour to nearby islands. Read everything about our adventures nearby the hotel and get travel tips to this popular Greek island in our Perfect 24 hour Guide to Kos!

Each of the five room types - ranging from Doubles to Villa Suites – is designed as a private sanctuary.

The seamless design is all about flow – of energy, people and communication. Clean-lined furniture mixes with exotic accessories to enhance the laid-back vibe.

My beautiful Junior Suite with a lounge area, a garden and a pool shared with only one or two other neighbors.

Fresh lunches with local ingredients..and of course: Ztaziki!

A place to celebrate life with kindred spirits.

ABOUT HOTELS WITH SOUL

Hotels with Soul by NECTAR & PULSE is a personal collection of our favourite hotels around the globe. They have two things in common: soul and passion. Some serve the best coffee we’ve ever tasted. Some the comfiest beds and linen. Some have a sauna in the woods and delicious home-made jams. Others have a butler available 24/7 or a hunter ready to take you on a hunt. One has a library where you’ll want to while away the hours, another one a kitchen stocked with the best midnight snacks.

What they all have in common is great design, friendly people, and authenticity. We call it the NECTAR & PULSE vibe. It’s that feeling where it’s so comfortable, it almost feels home, but you feel like there’s so much to learn, see, and do. These are the places that make you think to yourself, “there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.” Hotels with Soul are the ultimate destination for curious travellers with a good taste. Discover their story. Experience their soul.

WANT TO JOIN OUR COLLECTION OF SOULFUL HOTELS?

We love to discover new places and to add more beautiful places to our collection. If you think that your hotel reflects our philosophy, please get in touch with us at hello@nectarandpulse.com. We are happy to give you further information, our media kit and our terms. We are looking forward to get to know you and eventually to work together.
