Ikos Where relaxation is Redefined

Ikos Holidays in Greece: Perfect for UK Families in the School Holidays

If you’re looking for a luxury all-inclusive family holiday in Greece during the school holidays, Ikos is very hard to beat. Having stayed at both Ikos Dassia and Ikos Aria, I’ve seen first-hand how consistently they deliver what UK families really need: quality, space, exceptional food, and a genuinely relaxing experience—even in peak season.

Ikos describes its concept as “Infinite Lifestyle”, and unlike many marketing slogans, it truly lives up to the promise. From the moment you arrive, you can put your wallet away and focus on what matters most: spending time together. Beautifully designed rooms, outstanding dining, and warm, attentive service come as standard.

Luxury All-Inclusive That Feels Grown-Up

Ikos resorts feel more like stylish boutique hotels than traditional family all-inclusive holidays.  Rooms are modern, bright, and thoughtfully designed, with comfortable beds, blackout curtains, and well-planned bathrooms—so everyone actually gets a good night’s sleep (essential during the school holidays).

Dining is a real highlight. You’ll find multiple à la carte restaurants, menus curated by Michelin-starred chefs, and an impressive wine list featuring both Greek and international labels. There’s no “buffet fatigue” here—just proper restaurant experiences, all included, with no bill at the end.

Deluxe Collection vs Standard Rooms

A common question is whether upgrading to the Deluxe Collection is worth it.

Standard rooms and suites already include:

• Modern décor and high-quality linens
• Practical storage and family-friendly layouts
• Balconies or terraces—perfect for relaxing once children are asleep

The Deluxe Collection adds:

• More space, often with separate living areas (ideal for families or multi-generational groups)
• Prime locations, such as sea views or closer proximity to the beach
• Access to exclusive Deluxe pool and beach areas
• Enhanced service and upgraded in-room touches

For a special occasion—or if you value quieter, more exclusive spaces—the Deluxe upgrade can be well worth it.

Ideal for Multi-Generational Family Holidays

Ikos is particularly well-suited to multi-generational travel. Spacious suites and interconnecting room options allow grandparents to have their own space while staying close to the rest of the family.

Separate sleeping areas for adults and children mean evenings don’t have to end early. Once the kids are asleep, you can still unwind with a glass of wine on the terrace or enjoy a late-night room service treat.

Shared living spaces also act as a natural hub—perfect for relaxed breakfasts or pre-dinner drinks before heading out.

Why Ikos Works So Well for UK Families

Even during peak UK school holidays, Ikos resorts are designed so well that they rarely feel overwhelming.

Key family-friendly benefits include:

• Excellent kids’ clubs and activities (pre-bookable for peace of mind)
• Flexible dining options that fit around naps and early bedtimes
• Safe, shallow beach and pool areas—ideal for younger children
• Thoughtful extras like baby equipment, children’s menus, and readily available snacks

Because everything is included and carefully organised, there’s no constant planning or spending—you can truly relax into the rhythm of your holiday.

Extra Touches That Make a Difference

To make your stay even smoother, you can pre-book spa treatments and kids’ club sessions before you travel—especially useful during busy periods.

One standout feature is the complimentary Local Drive Adventure, where you’re given a car for a day to explore beyond the resort. It’s a brilliant way to discover local villages, beaches, and viewpoints at your own pace—adding a sense of adventure to an otherwise effortless holiday.
