Be introduced to a revolutionary new concept, the Infinite Lifestyle promise, not your expected all-inclusive. Ikos Resorts offers two exciting Greek properties, Ikos Oceania (formerly known as Oceania Club) due to open in March 2015 and NEW Ikos Olivia, opening in May 2015, both in Halkidiki with more properties to open in the next few years across the Mediterranean. Ikos Resorts is re-defining the all-inclusive experience and has created a unique all-exclusive offering. Keeping the convenience and affordability of all-inclusive while adding total luxury from start to finish, from naturally intuitive service to Michelin starred chefs and luxurious Anne Semonin spas. Offering the security of a traditional all-inclusive, with the freedom of a bespoke holiday, Ikos Resorts create the perfect luxury getaway. This freedom also extends to the ‘dine out experiences’, offering guests the chance to dine out of resort, offering a flexible all-exclusive holiday whilst also supporting and encouraging the local economy.

Taste Something New from Michelin Starred Chefs!

Historically all-inclusive properties have restricted guests to limited in-resort dining. Ikos Resorts refreshing new approach breaks the traditional moulds and allows guests the freedom to experience new cuisines. As a part of the all-exclusive experience, guests can enjoy a selection of the finest food prepared by internationally recognised Michelin starred chefs such as Lefteris Lazarou of Varoulko restaurant in Athens and Andrea Fusco of Guido Ballerina restaurant in Rome.  Four themed a-la-carte restaurants including, Pan-Asian, Italian and Mediterranean French cuisine as well as the ‘Flavors’ buffet restaurant allow guests to leave their comfort zone, experiment with food and try innovative new dishes. Luxurious touches such as international branded wines and spirits and the Ikos Sommeliers advising on the finest wines are only the beginning of the bespoke services offered.

Ikos Resorts are carving a new path through the introduction of the ‘dine- out experience’ allowing guests the opportunity to experience the beauty of Greek food, culture and community which surrounds their hotels. Providing guests with the opportunity to dine out in a local Greek taverna, ensures that guests are truly immersed in all that this bountiful area has to offer.

Luxury Amenities Available

Defying the traditional reputation, Ikos brings an exciting new perspective to European all-inclusive holidays. Whilst still offering the peace of mind, security and convenience of an uncomplicated fixed price holiday, Ikos Resorts offer a level of service and amenities, unmatched by other all-inclusive resorts. Take advantage of Beach Side Infinite Lifestyle and enjoy all day waiter service to your sun lounger and a variety of beach-side activities. Select from optional add-ons to your all-inclusive package such as rejuvenating treatments and therapies from Parisian luxury spa brand Anne Semonin, which will be available at the dedicated beach side cabanas. Deluxe Collection guests enjoy one complimentary spa treatment. Premium wines and spirits and 24 hour room service are only the beginning of what can all be enjoyed from this innovative group of resorts. For those who truly want unlimited luxury Ikos Deluxe Collection Services, available in the Deluxe area of both properties includes a dedicated Deluxe Collection manager on hand to ensure an unparalleled level of customer service, a complimentary spa treatment and an array of other exclusive benefits.

Focus on Local

Ikos Resorts is integrated with community and dedicated to boosting and supporting the local economy and small businesses. Through many initiatives they have sought to counteract the impact that ordinary all-inclusive properties have on the tourism infra-structure. By employing local personnel and using local produce, this provides members of the community with employment and supports local industries, in addition to ensuring that the property is truly integrated with the surrounding area. The dine-out experience benefits both guests and locals alike, ensuring that visitors to the area are truly immersed and able to interact with members of the community, whilst the financial benefits of increased tourism are fairly distributed throughout the local economy.
