It’s exclusive experiences like these that puts Ikos in the number one spot.
Gastronomy
The Infinite Lifestyle concept is as luxurious – and delicious – as an all-inclusive board basis can possibly get. Gone are the days of recycled buffets and restricted drinks because when it comes to dining at an Ikos Resort, the world is truly your oyster. Each restaurant is á la carte and features menus created by Michelin-starred chefs to bring together a spectacular array of flavours from Greece, France, Italy, Asia and beyond across breakfast, lunch and dinner. Guests are invited to explore the vineyards of the world with a unique wine list with over 300 international wine labels prepared by award-winning sommelier, Nikolas Giannopoulous, that perfectly match the Michelin-starred chef’s menus. If that wasn’t enough, Ikos prides itself on its mixology and has an impressive cocktail programme prepared by world-renowned mixologist, Aristotelis Papadopoulos. As well as the classics, you can sip on specially curated cocktails that are inspired by art, love and joy. Furthermore, Ikos guests can enjoy 24-hour room service, branded spirits in their mini-bar, waiter service to their sun lounger and an excellent Dine Out experience which allows guests to experience authentic Greek food at renowned local restaurants for no additional cost.
Spa & Wellness
There’s no such thing as stress at Ikos Resorts. The spa is utterly blissful and boasts signature treatments by Anne Sémonin Paris that are soothing and purifying, used in combination with the expert therapists using products with essential oils and minerals.

Additionally, Ikos Resorts has no shortage of activities that are designed to enhance your physical and mental wellbeing.
