Set in spectacular beachfront locations with waiter service and several swimming pools in their lovely manicured gardens, all of the Ikos properties in Greece and Spain promise an exceptional level of service, dining and facilities as part of their luxury all-inclusive offering.
The growing collection is currently made up of five resorts – Ikos Oceania and Ikos Olivia in Halkidiki on the Greek mainland, Ikos Dassia in Corfu, Ikos Aria in Kos and Ikos Andalusia in southern Spain. On the 16th of June they’ll be joined by the Ikos Porto Petro on the Spanish island of Majorca and Ikos Odisia on the Greek Island of Corfu.
The bar is set high for the new properties. Ikos Aria appeared as none less than the best hotel in Europe and the third-best hotel in the world in the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2022, while Ikos Oceania was voted #1 Luxury all-inclusive in the world in 2019, before Ikos Dassia and Ikos Olivia took the title in 2020 and 2021 respectively.
Opening as the first Ikos resort on this ever-popular island in the Balearics, this sleek and sparkling property will sit on one of Majorca’s best-preserved sites, beside both gorgeous Mondrago Natural Park and the cosmopolitan Porto Petro Marina.
Tucked away between two stunning beaches, the Calo dels Homes Morts and the Calo de Sa Torre, it will boast divine Mediterranean views, an exclusive Spa by Anne Semonin and an extensive gourmet offering embracing five à la carte restaurants, with menus by Michelin-starred chefs, and a brand new Food Market concept which serves buffet breakfasts and international cuisine, as well as à la carte options for lunch and dinner.
Rooms and suites at the Ikos Porto Petro will come with terraces and, in some cases, private pools, while the airy Mediterranean decor will be infused with Majorcan character. Some accommodation at the resort will be in the Deluxe Collection area, which guarantees the ultimate curated experience for guests, with exclusive services and premium benefits.
These include a welcome bottle of Taittinger champagne on ice, an unpacking service, an upgraded mini-bar, a pillow menu, and the services of a Deluxe Concierge/personal holiday planner to take care of everything from spa bookings and restaurant reservations to bespoke experiences such as romantic dinners on the beach. Deluxe Collection guests also have use of a private section of the beach and an exclusive swimming pool and enjoy two complimentary neck and back massages per room.
Ikos Resorts stand out for their luxury all-inclusive experience, with the unique Infinite Lifestyle concept embracing an unparalleled level of service and exclusive benefits, including Michelin-starred menus at breakfast, lunch and dinner and 24-hour room service – accompanied by a choice of 300 international and local vintages chosen by an award-winning sommelier.
Meanwhile, the Dine Out Service is a unique proposition inviting guests to feast on local specialties at authentic restaurants outside the resort, and guests even get the use of a complimentary car for a full day, so they can head out exploring local places of interest.
Ikos Resorts all offer a whole array of both thrilling and relaxing activities, including a football academy, water-skiing and canoeing, beach volleyball, basketball, tennis, mountain biking, and fitness classes including Pilates and yoga.
Evenings see everything from live music to children’s movies. There’s a fantastic programme of events and games every day of the week, a teen club, a kids’ club for children from four years and upwards, and a crèche for the littlest ones – all operated by a team of childcare professionals to UK Ofsted standards. There’s even the complimentary Beach Childcare Service for ages four years and up.
