VILLAS
For many travellers, one of the biggest reasons to rent a villa in Rhodes is simple: a private pool you can truly enjoy. Not just a small plunge pool, but a large swimming pool where you can actually swim, relax, and spend long summer afternoons with family or friends.
Across the island you’ll find some fantastic villas with large private pools, especially along the east coast where modern luxury villas have been built overlooking the sea, olive groves, or quiet countryside areas.
If you're specifically looking for villas in Rhodes with large pools, this guide will help you understand where to stay, what to expect, and which villas offer the best pool spaces.

Private Villas in Rhodes with Large Pools – Quick Overview
• Many Rhodes villas with large swimming pools are located on the east coast where land space allows bigger outdoor areas
• Large pool villas are ideal for families, groups, or travellers who plan to spend time relaxing at the villa
• Many luxury villas include infinity pools, long lap pools, or oversized family pools
• Booking early is essential during June–September, when the best villas sell out months in advance
Why Choose a Villa in Rhodes with a Large Pool?
One of the biggest advantages of renting a villa instead of a hotel is the privacy and space, and a large pool takes that experience to the next level.
Many standard villas in Rhodes have pools around 6–7 metres long, which are perfectly fine for cooling off. But larger villas often include 10–15 metre pools, which are great if you actually want to swim or if several people will be using the pool at the same time.
This makes a huge difference if you're travelling as:
a family with kids
a group of friends
or simply someone who enjoys relaxing by the pool all day
Large pools are also common in luxury villas across Lindos, Pefkos, Gennadi, Lachania, and Kolymbia, where many modern villas have been built with large outdoor terraces and private gardens.

Best Private Villas in Rhodes with Large Pools

Local Insight: Pool Size Often Depends on Location
Something many travellers don’t realise is that pool size often depends on where the villa is located.
Areas like Lindos, Pefkos, and Kolymbia often have large pools because villas sit on hillside plots with more space. In contrast, villas very close to towns or villages sometimes have smaller pools due to limited land.
If having a large pool is your top priority, I usually recommend looking at villas slightly outside the main resort centres where plots are bigger and outdoor areas are more generous.

Local Tip from Looneytravels
When browsing Rhodes villas with large pools, always check the actual pool dimensions in the listing description.
Photos can be misleading, and some pools look large in pictures but are only 5–6 metres long. A genuinely large private pool is usually 10 metres or longer, while some luxury villas even offer 12–15 metre pools.
If you plan to spend a lot of time swimming or travelling with kids, that extra size really makes a difference.
Which Villa Should You Choose?
If you're trying to decide between villas with large pools, here’s a simple way to narrow it down:
Best for luxury stays
Choose villas in Lindos, Kiotari, or Lachania where many properties include large infinity pools and panoramic sea views.
Best for families
Look for villas in Kolymbia or Gennadi with big gardens and large rectangular pools that are great for kids.
Best for couples
Modern villas in Pefkos or hillside Lindos often offer large private pools with incredible views but still feel intimate.
