Mitsis Group Launches Club 8 Luxury Pool Experience in Faliraki, Elevating Rhodes’ Premium Tourism Offerings
Mitsis Group, Greece’s largest privately-owned hotelier, is making waves on the Dodecanese island of Rhodes with the grand unveiling of Club 8, a brand-new luxury pool club set to redefine high-end leisure on the island. Situated adjacent to the renowned Mitsis Faliraki Beach Hotel, the exclusive venue officially opens on Friday, July 26, 2025, and marks a new era in upscale Greek tourism.
Located in the heart of Faliraki, one of Rhodes’ most vibrant resort towns, Club 8 is poised to become a destination in its own right. The initiative is part of the broader investment strategy of Mitsis Group to transform Rhodes into a global hub for premium tourism, combining world-class design with elevated recreational experiences.
A Bold Vision for Elite Hospitality
Club 8 is designed for both local and international visitors seeking an indulgent escape. The project underscores the group’s ambition to offer unparalleled luxury infused with authentic Greek charm, echoing the ethos behind Mitsis Group’s entire hospitality portfolio.
Stavros Mitsis, Managing Director of Mitsis Group, commented:
“Club 8 is not just a venue—it’s an immersive experience reflecting our dedication to creating exceptional lifestyle spaces. It’s about redefining how luxury is experienced in the Greek islands and enhancing Rhodes’ international tourism appeal.”
Signature Features: Where Design Meets Relaxation
At the heart of Club 8 is a 50-meter heated pool complete with elegant in-water loungers, setting the stage for serene sun-soaked days. Around the pool, guests can indulge in private cabanas with personal plunge pools, designed for ultimate seclusion and luxury.
Architecturally, the venue is striking. The entrance is marked by a dramatic waterfall installation, and the atmosphere is elevated by a floating DJ stage, which seamlessly transitions from tranquil daytime vibes to vibrant evening sets—offering guests a dynamic experience around the clock.
Culinary Delights and Curated Cocktails
Food lovers will find their sanctuary at Club 8’s signature restaurant, where a menu rich in Mediterranean flavors awaits. Designed to complement Rhodes’ culinary heritage, the offerings blend locally-sourced ingredients with contemporary presentation.
Paired with this is a smart cocktail bar, where seasoned mixologists serve signature drinks and refined classics. This gourmet component makes Club 8 not only a daytime leisure hub but also a premier evening dining destination in Faliraki.
Wellness and Aesthetics
Though culinary experiences take center stage, Club 8 also offers cutting-edge spa treatments and beauty therapies, reinforcing Mitsis Group’s commitment to holistic wellness. FITTOA, a term that blends fitness and aesthetics, underpins this aspect of the club—a growing trend in elite hospitality.
Economic and Strategic Impact for Rhodes
Club 8 is more than a stylish addition to the Faliraki coast. It represents a strategic investment in the Rhodes tourism economy, attracting high-value visitors and stimulating local employment. It also aligns with the Greek National Tourism Organisation’s (GNTO) ongoing mission to position the Dodecanese as a year-round destination for luxury travel.
The club complements Visit Greece’s latest promotional campaign, which emphasizes premium experiences, wellness, and authentic culture across the Greek islands. With direct flights from major European cities increasing in 2025, accessibility to Rhodes is stronger than ever, giving Club 8 a distinct advantage.
Future Developments by Mitsis Group
The opening of Club 8 is part of a multi-phased investment plan by Mitsis Group in the Faliraki area. Looking ahead to the 2025 tourism season, the group is also planning to unveil a state-of-the-art wellness center, further enhancing the destination’s infrastructure and appeal to health-conscious travelers.
Currently, Mitsis Group operates 24 luxury hotels and 13 wellness centers across Greece, with a footprint in Athens, Piraeus, Kos, Corfu, Santorini, Halkidiki, Crete, Kamena Vourla, and Rhodes. The company continues to innovate in hospitality, pioneering experiences that blend sustainability, design, and Greek hospitality excellence.
Rhodes: A Rising Star in Luxury Mediterranean Travel
The island of Rhodes, rich in history and blessed with idyllic beaches, has seen a surge in premium tourism over the last five years. According to Bank of Greece statistics, international arrivals to Rhodes have grown steadily post-pandemic, with 2024 seeing a 12% increase in luxury hotel occupancy.
With new attractions like Club 8, the island is capitalizing on this momentum, particularly among European travelers from the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands—key markets for Mitsis Group.
A New Benchmark in Island Leisure
With its world-class amenities, gourmet offerings, and immersive ambiance, Club 8 is set to become the flagship leisure venue of Rhodes, adding a touch of Mykonos-style opulence to the Dodecanese. It is more than a pool club—it is a statement of intent by Mitsis Group, one that continues to shape the future of Greek island tourism.
