The IKOS collection has completely transformed what "all-inclusive" means across their beautiful Mediterranean resorts. If you're travelling with family, these hotels are absolute treasures – offering premium all-inclusive that banishes the worry of mounting costs while keeping quality remarkably high.
With seven stunning properties (and an eighth opening in Crete in 2026), each occupies a prime seaside setting with all the family-friendly amenities you could wish for included in your stay.
COASTAL ELEGANCE
Ikos Dassia sits on Corfu's northeast coast with the most beautiful views across the Ionian Sea to mainland Greece and Albania. You'll find a gorgeous 600m sandy beach with crystal-clear waters, set against a backdrop of olive groves and cypress trees. Families love the spacious rooms and child-friendly beach with its gently shelving waters.
In Halkidiki, Ikos Oceania cascades down the Kassandra peninsula in terraced levels to its 350m beach, giving you breathtaking sea views from virtually everywhere. The all-inclusive here covers everything from water sports to tennis lessons – perfect for active families who like to try everything!
MEDITERRANEAN GEMS
Ikos Andalusia brought their magic to Spain's Costa del Sol between Marbella and Estepona. What I love about this location is how it combines beach relaxation with cultural exploration – the historic towns of Ronda and Mijas make perfect day trips. They even include a day's car hire and select local restaurant meals in your package. The newer Ikos Aria on Kos has a stunning beachfront position with views across to Turkey, while Ikos Odisia and Olivia continue their tradition of beautiful settings with direct beach access and gorgeous sea panoramas.
All resorts open seasonally from April through to late October or early November, perfectly timed for school holidays when these Mediterranean destinations shine their brightest. Everything from gourmet dining and premium drinks to extensive childcare comes included – making these resorts perfect for families wanting luxury without budget surprises
I've been fortunate to experience several Ikos properties first-hand, and they truly stand apart from traditional all-inclusive resorts. What impressed me most was the genuine quality throughout - from the à la carte restaurants serving dishes created by Michelin-starred chefs to the premium brand spirits at the bars.
For families especially, the value is exceptional when you consider everything that's included. If you're looking for a Mediterranean holiday where you can truly relax knowing everything is taken care of, I'd be delighted to help you select the perfect Ikos resort for your next escape.
