The beach clubs in Rhodes spread across a big island, and there are 16 worth knowing. The northern tip of Rhodes Town packs day-to-night party clubs along Elli Beach, Faliraki has the densest run of beach bars, and the east coast down to Lindos turns quiet and scenic.
Locals mostly call these beach bars, and most pair sunbeds with a full kitchen and a DJ. Two loungers run about €15-20 at value spots, €25-40 nearer the sea at the town clubs, and more for front-row gazebos. Season runs May to October, busiest in July and August.
The scene breaks into clear zones: Rhodes Town and Elli Beach in the north, Faliraki just south, the rocky Kallithea coves between them, and a calmer east coast through Afandou, Kalathos and Lindos. For the rest of the country's coast, see our guide to beach clubs in Greece.

Are the best beach clubs in Rhodes Town or Faliraki?

Frequently asked questions about Rhodes beach clubs
How much do beach clubs in Rhodes cost?
Sunbeds span a wide range. Value spots like Ostria and Ammades rent two loungers for €15-20, and some knock it off if you order food. Nearer the sea at the town clubs and Naya, expect €30-50 a set, with front-row gazebos and cabanas higher again.
Do you need to book beach clubs in Rhodes in advance?
In July and August, yes, for the front-row beds. Reserve ahead at the Rhodes Town clubs, Naya, Kalami and Tambakio, where cabana beds book from 14 days out. The quieter east-coast spots like Sundalia and Ostria are walk-up friendly most days.
When are Rhodes beach clubs open?
Most run from May to October, peaking in July and August. Some are seasonal and shut out of season, like Playa de Azul, which was listed closed until mid-May. In spring and autumn, service thins out, so check ahead before you plan a day around one.
Are Rhodes beach clubs family-friendly?
Plenty are. Faliraki's Ammades has beach volley and tennis and low prices, and east-coast spots like Ostria and Sundalia are calm and cheap. The Rhodes Town clubs on Elli Beach lean day-to-night party, so families do better in Faliraki or down the quieter east coast.
