A New Era for High-End Travel in Rhodes
“Club 8 is not just a venue—it’s an experience,” says Stavros Mitsis, Managing Director of Mitsis Group. “It embodies our mission to provide unforgettable hospitality experiences that seamlessly combine sophisticated design, vibrant culture, and unparalleled comfort. This is also part of our strategic vision to elevate Rhodes as a global luxury tourism destination.”
Located in the heart of bustling Faliraki, the venue benefits from the area’s growing popularity among premium travelers. Club 8 caters to high-spending visitors looking for elevated leisure, making it a cornerstone in Mitsis’ mission to attract affluent international tourists to the Dodecanese.
Design, Luxury, and Leisure Intertwined
Club 8’s visual identity is designed to dazzle from the moment guests arrive. Its grand waterfall entrance, modernist architecture, and floating DJ stage set the tone for a one-of-a-kind recreational environment. The heart of the venue is a 50-meter heated pool, outfitted with luxurious in-water loungers, creating the ultimate space for relaxation.
For those seeking privacy, elevated cabanas with personal plunge pools offer exclusivity and refined service. The club blends natural materials with high-tech infrastructure, using eco-friendly energy systems and ambient design for sustainability and comfort.
Culinary Delights and Signature Cocktails
Club 8 doesn’t just offer a premium poolside vibe—it’s also a culinary destination. The venue’s signature Mediterranean-inspired restaurant presents gourmet dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients, elevating the island’s rich culinary heritage to fine-dining levels.
The Club 8 Cocktail Bar serves up an innovative mixology menu crafted by expert bartenders. From classics to signature creations, the drinks menu complements the coastal ambiance and vibrant social atmosphere. Together, the food and beverage offerings establish Club 8 as a premier venue for both leisure and gastronomy lovers.
Boosting the Local Economy Through Luxury
Club 8’s launch comes at a pivotal time for Rhodes, as Greek tourism rebounds with strong momentum in 2025. According to the Bank of Greece, the country expects over 30 million visitors this year, with the South Aegean maintaining its place as one of the top-performing regions. Rhodes, in particular, has recorded an 11% increase in luxury bookings year-over-year, driven by upscale travelers seeking exclusive experiences.
By attracting high-net-worth tourists, Club 8 contributes to the island’s local economy through job creation, increased visitor spending, and expanded international media coverage. Its presence is also expected to elevate Faliraki’s image, shifting from a youth party hub to a more refined lifestyle destination.
Part of a Bigger Vision: Mitsis Group’s Development Strategy
Club 8 is not a standalone venture. It is the first in a series of investments Mitsis Group plans to make in Faliraki and Rhodes over the coming years. Among the most anticipated is a world-class wellness center slated for completion in 2025, further reinforcing the group’s long-term commitment to wellness and sustainable tourism.
Currently, Mitsis Group operates 24 deluxe hotels and 13 spa and wellness centers across top Greek destinations including Athens, Kos, Crete, Santorini, and Corfu. The company is renowned for pushing innovation in hospitality, combining heritage with contemporary luxury and forward-thinking design.
Setting a New Standard for Hospitality in Greece
Club 8 positions itself as more than a pool club—it’s a multi-sensory destination that embodies the next generation of Greek luxury tourism. With rhythmic DJ sets on the floating stage, ambient lighting, curated events, and high-end service, the venue promises to become a beacon of summer indulgence in the Aegean.
Additionally, Mitsis Group’s emphasis on environmental and social responsibility sets a benchmark for the region. Club 8 has adopted eco-conscious operations, from minimizing single-use plastics to incorporating smart-energy technologies that reduce carbon footprint while maintaining the highest comfort levels.
Faliraki’s Transformation into a Global Luxury Hotspot
The launch of Club 8 reaffirms Faliraki’s transformation from a seasonal party enclave to a year-round luxury destination. With improved infrastructure, high-end accommodation, and new experiences tailored for affluent travelers, the area is being repositioned for the international luxury market.
As Club 8 prepares to welcome guests, Mitsis Group continues to write a new chapter in Rhodes’ hospitality narrative—one that celebrates Greek elegance, cultural depth, and cosmopolitan flair.
