We’re honoured to share that KOIA All-Suite Wellbeing Resort and YDΩR Spa have been nominated for 2025 The World Luxury Awards that celebrate worldwide excellence in hospitality and wellness experiences.
These nominations reflect the essence of the KOIA experience where ancient wisdom shapes contemporary wellbeing. Rooted in the Hippocratic philosophy, KOIA All-Suite Wellbeing Resort invites guests of Kos island to slow down, reconnect with nature, and embrace a more intentional way of being.
Five Distinct Nominations
KOIA All-Suite Wellbeing Resort has been shortlisted in three distinguished hotel categories. See each category nomination and why it is a top contender.
Luxury Concept Hotel
KOIA All-Suite Wellbeing Resort embraces a hospitality concept deeply rooted in the healing traditions of Kos. Designed around the Hippocratic principles of wellness and championing the therapeutic power of herbs, plants, and natural elements, it integrates these throughout its architecture, landscape, and daily rituals. From low-impact structures inspired by the ancient Hexapolis to garden pathways and curated guest experiences, every detail reflects an ancient philosophy of balance, reinforcing KOIA’s identity as a living, breathing wellness concept.
Luxury Sustainable Hotel
KOIA All-Suite Wellbeing Resort approaches sustainability through tangible, on-property practices. The resort cultivates its own seasonal, organic vegetables, herbs, and fruits using natural methods, free from fertilisers and chemicals, thus supporting biodiversity and minimal carbon footprint. Landscape design avoids decorative planting in favour of native, medicinal flora, while materials and structures are chosen to respect the land’s natural contours. The culinary and spa experiences focus on local sourcing and seasonal ingredients, many of which are harvested directly from the resort’s gardens. Sustainability at KOIA is a daily, grounded philosophy embedded in its operations and environment.
Luxury Adults-only Boutique Hotel
KOIA All-Suite Wellbeing Resort offers an elevated, adults-only experience crafted for guests seeking peace, presence, and reconnection. Its 51 suites are thoughtfully dispersed across 35 acres of land, with no multi-storey buildings and many standalone houses, enhancing privacy and serenity. Days unfold slowly, from ancient stretching practices to guided garden walks and immersive spa rituals, all curated to restore balance. The absence of family-centric distractions, paired with warm, unobtrusive service, creates a rare atmosphere of true stillness and self-focus.
Meanwhile, YDΩR Spa, our tranquil wellness sanctuary, has been nominated in two spa-specific categories:
Luxury Wellness Spa
By incorporating ancient healing traditions and ingredients, YDΩR Spa offers a holistic approach to wellbeing through curated rituals, herbal therapies, and serene surroundings. It is a space designed to support not just physical renewal, but emotional and energetic balance – true to the timeless principles of wellness.
Luxury Boutique Resort Spa
