Best Family Hotels with Tennis Courts in Kos (2026)
5 family-friendly hotels with tennis in Kos . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Kos is one of the few Greek islands where a family hotel reliably comes with tennis courts — a legacy of the German tour operator era when half-board resorts on Tigaki and Marmari beaches included floodlit hard courts as standard. The big resort hotels still maintain 2-6 courts each, most with a resident coach in summer who runs junior tennis camps for ages 5-15. We checked which hotels still have working floodlights, which include rackets in the rate, and which have proper academy-grade clay courts versus the budget hard surfaces. Family-of-four rates in July range from 162 to 405 EUR per night. Here are 5 Kos hotels where one parent can play a doubles match while the kids are at the mini-club, then everyone meets at the pool — no rental car needed.
Kos is the flat, bike-friendly island in the Dodecanese — 290 km² with a 30km cycling path along the north coast, Roman ruins in the centre of Kos Town, and a cluster of beach villages (Tigaki, Marmari, Mastichari) that are essentially built around resort hotels. Unlike Rhodes or Crete, you don't need a car: families settle into one resort and the on-site sports programme covers tennis, swimming, mini-football and water polo without leaving the property.
🎾Why Kos works for a tennis-and-family holiday
Junior tennis camps are the headline product. Astir Odysseus runs an HTP-affiliated weekly camp (240 EUR for 5 mornings, ages 6-14), Neptune Luxury Resort partners with the Mouratoglou-style coaching format, and Kipriotis Village runs the budget option at 130 EUR per week. All camps include rackets, balls, and a tournament on Friday afternoon with parents invited.
Court conditions matter more than court count. Most Kos hotels list 2-4 courts but only half are properly maintained. Astir Odysseus and Neptune are the gold standard with resurfaced hard courts. Michelangelo and Oceanis have older surfaces that play slow when wet. Kipriotis Village has the best ratio of courts-per-guest (4 courts for 800 rooms = always available).
Off-court tennis stuff is what makes Kos special. The cycling path along the coast lets families ride from hotel to hotel for round-robin friendlies. The Hippocrates Sports Centre in Kos Town hosts a weekly junior tournament every Saturday (free to enter, ages 8-14). Tennis-mad teens can take the ferry to Bodrum in Turkey for a day at the Mouratoglou Bodrum Academy.
Parent's take
Realistic parent take: Kos works for tennis if your kids are 6+ and willing to do an organised camp. For under-6s, the courts are mostly background scenery and the spas matter more. If you want serious coaching, Halkidiki has tennis-academy resorts but the courts are fewer and family-focus is lower. Kos hits the family/tennis balance better than anywhere else in Greece.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Kos with tennis, sorted by guest rating.
Astir Odysseus Kos Resort and Spa
Tigaki Beach
Wonderful
1,250 reviews
A sprawling 5-star bungalow resort on Tigaki's blue-flag sandy beach with 3 hard tennis courts (1 floodlit) and a HTP-affiliated junior tennis camp from June to September. The resort runs a half-board plus tennis package that includes 5 morning sessions for kids and 2 hours of court time for parents per day.
From
€345/night
Why families love Astir Odysseus Kos Resort and Spa
Astir Odysseus is the family-tennis flagship on Kos — kids' camp from age 6, multiple coaches, and a tournament every Friday with prizes. The bungalow layout means you're never more than 100m from the courts, the kids' club, or the pool. Family suites have a separate kids' room and the breakfast buffet handles fussy eaters with a build-your-own pancake station.
Neptune Luxury Resort
Mastichari (north coast)
Wonderful
2,340 reviews
A long-running family resort on Mastichari's sandy beach with 3 tennis courts (synthetic clay), a Mouratoglou-style junior coaching programme and the strongest kids' club on Kos with separate buildings for ages 4-7, 8-12 and 13-17. Tennis is included in the half-board rate with priority booking for in-house guests.
From
€312/night
Why families love Neptune Luxury Resort
Neptune is the all-rounder for tennis families with mixed-age kids. The teen club is a genuine separate building with table tennis, gaming consoles and supervised pool access — meaningful when you have a 14-year-old who refuses to sit at the same table as their 6-year-old sibling. Two-bedroom family rooms work well for four. The 7am tennis slot is the secret weapon: empty courts, no wind, kids still asleep.
Oceanis Beach & Spa Resort
Psalidi (5 km east of Kos Town)
Excellent
1,856 reviews
A 5-star resort on Psalidi's pebble-and-sand beach with 2 hard tennis courts and a relaxed family vibe — the kids' tennis programme runs as drop-in sessions rather than a structured camp, which suits flexible holiday rhythms. A free shuttle into Kos Town runs every 90 minutes for the Hippocrates Sports Centre's Saturday junior tournament.
From
€265/night
Why families love Oceanis Beach & Spa Resort
Oceanis works best for families who don't want a rigid schedule. Tennis is there if you want it — courts are usually free without booking, the pro is around mornings and evenings — but no one pushes you to sign up for a 5-day camp. The pool complex has a great kids' splash area and the spa-wellness facilities are properly grown-up. Walking distance to a quieter Kos Town beach for a change of pace.
Michelangelo Resort & Spa
Agios Fokas (4 km south of Kos Town)
Very Good
1,430 reviews
An adults-friendly 5-star with 2 tennis courts on a quiet stretch of pebble beach south of Kos Town. The tennis programme is geared toward intermediate and advanced players — fewer junior camps but a higher standard of resident coaching. Family rooms are bigger than average, and the boutique feel makes for a calmer alternative to the bigger Tigaki resorts.
From
€295/night
Why families love Michelangelo Resort & Spa
Michelangelo is the choice for parents who want to play seriously while the kids are well-occupied but the resort doesn't feel like a tennis academy. Older teens (14+) get on with the adult intermediate clinics. The pool deck is sun-trap quiet most afternoons, which suits families with younger kids who nap. Pebble beach is a downside if your kids prefer sand — Tigaki is 25 minutes by car for variety.
Kipriotis Village Resort
Psalidi (Kos Town outskirts)
Very Good
3,210 reviews
A 4-star all-inclusive resort with 4 tennis courts — the highest court count of any family hotel on Kos — and a budget-friendly junior coaching programme at 130 EUR per week. Part of the larger Kipriotis complex with shared facilities including a water park and 5 kids' clubs across the property cluster.
From
€162/night
Why families love Kipriotis Village Resort
Kipriotis Village is the value-for-money pick. Four courts means you can almost always find a free hour without booking, and the basic-but-effective junior camp does the job for kids who just want to hit balls and have fun. The water park access (free for guests) is a major bonus when tennis fatigue sets in. Half-board rooms can feel basic — pay up for the renovated wing if you want bedding and AC quality to match the activities.
💡How to book courts and lessons around kids' schedules in Kos
- 1Book the 8-9am court slot. Wind is calmest, kids are fresh, and you'll be back at the pool by 10:30 for breakfast round 2. Most hotels open the booking sheet 24 hours in advance — set a phone reminder to grab your slot.
- 2Pack your own racket if you're choosy. Hotel rentals are basic strung Wilson or Head Junior models, fine for casual hits but uncomfortable if you have a personal grip preference. A travel racket bag is checked baggage on most airlines for free up to 3 rackets.
- 3The Saturday tournament at Kos Town's Hippocrates Centre is worth the trip. 9am start, free entry for ages 8-14, properly run with seeding and trophies. A 15-minute taxi from any north-coast hotel. Kids get a real match-play experience versus the in-resort camp format.
- 4For non-tennis days, the [Kos water park](/greece/kos/water-park) and the [Asklepieion archaeological site](/greece/kos/playground) make a good combo. A car rental for one day at 30-35 EUR is usually all you need — Kos is small enough to circle in 90 minutes.
- 5Kids' tennis shoes wear out fast on hard courts. Pack extras or buy local at Sport Shop Hippocratous on the harbour for 25-35 EUR. Most resort tennis pros sell strings and grips at a small markup if you need restringing mid-trip.
- 6For a complete contrast, Algarve tennis hotels offer European clay-court training with no Meltemi wind to deal with.
