Alimounda Mare Hotel
5-star infinity-pool luxury on the Pigadia beachfront
About this hotel
Alimounda Mare sits at the top of Karpathos Town's range: 5 stars, an infinity pool set against the beachfront, sea views as standard, and a spa alongside the restaurant and bar. The luxury tagging shows in the completeness of the offer rather than any single gimmick, family rooms included so this isn't a couples-only property despite the polish. Karpathos Airport is a 15 km drive, comfortable for most arrival times. This is the property to book when a strong pool and a genuine beachfront position both matter. Guests who value that kind of setting over a resort-scale amenity list tend to rate this property highest, since the location itself does most of the work.

Our take
Travellers wanting the highest tier of beachfront comfort on Karpathos, infinity pool, spa and sea views included, will find Alimounda Mare the clear top pick in Pigadia. Families are still welcome via the family rooms, so this isn't exclusively a couples' retreat. Anyone wanting a bigger resort with more organised amenities should look elsewhere on the island instead.
- ✓Book the infinity-pool suite category for the best water-to-horizon view
- ✓Use the spa on a between-beach rest day
- ✓Allow around 20 minutes for the 15 km drive from the airport

Why guests love itAlimounda Mare Hotel is a five-star on the beach at Pigadia, the main town of Karpathos, with an infinity pool facing the sea, a spa, a restaurant and a bar. Family rooms make it workable for parents, and having a restaurant on site means fewer evening outings with tired children. Karpathos Airport is about 15 km away. I would choose it for families who want full resort comfort with the town close by; a 9.1 score from 180 reviews supports it.
