This is why we are a big fan of IKOS Resorts

The IKOS Resorts brand has been voted the Best All-Inclusive in the World for five years running at the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards. So what makes the hotels so good? We have stayed at many IKOS Resorts, so here’s our insight!

Location

IKOS Resorts started out in Greece and has spanned its wings, opening hotels in Mallorca and Andalucia. All seven of its locations are beachfront and each one has a unique personality, influenced by its surroundings. What we love is that whichever one you choose, you always get a warm welcome and, a couple of days in, you start to feel like one of the IKOS family. It’s what they call ‘philoxenia’ in Greece!

The Unconditional Luxury plan

The ‘Unconditional Luxury’ concept is a step way beyond the usual all-inclusive offering. Take your pick from menus curated by chefs who have run Michelin-starred restaurants, enjoy handcrafted cocktails by award-winning mixologists and choose from a curated list of 300 premium wines. You also get a day’s hire of a Tesla included in the price, so you can get out and explore the local area.

“Nothing is too much trouble at an IKOS Resort! If the team can fulfil a request to keep a guest happy, they will go out of their way to make it happen. For us, knowing that the hotel brand has such a high level of customer service makes us truly confident Huben Travel guests will have a good time. IKOS really go the extra mile to impress each and every guest, including Hugh. He joked he wanted an egg-shaped chair delivered to our pool suite. It arrived and he was bowled over!”

Modern suites and rooms

IKOS hotels are stunning. Calm colours, natural wood, comfy modern furniture and well-thought-out touches from the world-class design team create relaxing spaces to make yourself at home. The decor aims to emulate each resort’s location, whether it’s Corfu or Andalucia, and, if you book a pool villa and really don’t fancy leaving your suite, you can ‘stay in’ and make the most of the Nespresso machine, minibar and 24-hour room service. We also love the bathroom beauty products from Anne Semonin Paris.

World-class restaurants offering fine dining

Each IKOS resort features world-class restaurants with à la carte menus created by chefs who have overseen Michelin-starred restaurants. The brand has a global wine selection with more than 300 local and international wines handpicked by the IKOS sommelier. The Dine Out programme also allows you to experience authentic local cuisine outside the resort, included within your all-inclusive plan.

“We really enjoy the wine selection during our stay and try to stick to Greek wine as much as possible. Greece is an underrated country for wine production and it doesn’t get the attention it deserves, so to be able to take a journey of Greek wine on our holiday is always something to look forward to. We always attend the wine-tasting event during the week to learn about new wines and pairings – it’s always a highlight.”

Tesla hire included

The opportunity to take a Tesla out for one day during your stay is included in the price. As part of IKOS’ Local Discovery programme, you can explore your resort’s local surroundings in a Tesla Model 3. Deluxe Collection guests can drive the upgraded Tesla Model Y.

Experiences

These award-winning family resorts have a long list of activities to keep you busy (if you want to be). Take mountain bikes out on guided trails, try an introductory diving lesson or have a go at paddleboarding. Enjoy yoga on the beach at sunset or get sporty with a cardio class, basketball or tennis. Alternatively, head to the signature IKOS Spa for a treatment!
