INSIDE CRETE'S NEWEST LUXURY OPENING - IKOS KISSAMOS
HANNAH'S WEEK AT IKOS KISSAMOS - THE NEWEST ADDITION TO THE IKOS FAMILY
Hannah has just returned from a fabulous and very relaxing week at the brand-new Ikos Kissamos. As everyone knows, she is officially the Queen of Sani and IKOS and has visited every single resort in the collection. It genuinely never disappoints, and if anything, it somehow gets better every time.
IKOS Kissamos is the newest addition to the IKOS portfolio and the brand’s very first resort in Crete. Opening in April 2026, it has quickly become one of the Mediterranean’s most anticipated luxury all-inclusive resorts. Set along the beautiful Kissamos Beach, the resort has been designed around four individual villages, creating a relaxed and spacious feel while still offering everything guests love about the IKOS experience.
What makes IKOS Kissamos so special? It really is a resort for everyone. It’s perfect for families who want the ease of an all-inclusive holiday without compromising on luxury, incredible dining or beautiful surroundings. It’s also ideal for couples looking for a more sophisticated all-inclusive experience, multi-generational holidays, or guests who already love IKOS but are looking for somewhere new to explore.
And of course, it has all of our favourite things - amazing restaurants, a beautiful spa, an incredible gym, padel, endless activities, gorgeous rooms and suites, and most importantly, the wonderful people who work there and make every stay feel so special.
Hannah’s insider tips:
Pre-book your Reformer Pilates before arrival - the classes fill up quickly!
If you’re staying in Deluxe, make sure to ask for the Deluxe wine menu, featuring over 30 premium wines.
Purchase one of their Anne Semonin diffusers to take home - your house will smell like IKOS long after you leave (and you’ll feel like you never really left!).
OUR TOP TWO ON THE LIST
OUR IKOS AND SANI FAVOURITES:
IKOS ODISA, CORFU AND SANI ASTERIAS, HALKIDIKI
1.IKOS ODISIA, CORFU
Set on a beautiful peninsula overlooking Dassia Bay, Ikos Odisia is one of Corfu’s top luxury resorts and has quickly become a favourite for both families and couples. Surrounded by lush gardens and overlooking a beautiful stretch of coastline, it offers a peaceful setting while still being just a short drive from Corfu Town and the airport, making it incredibly easy to reach.
The rooms and suites are modern and spacious, with many offering stunning sea views, private gardens or even private pools. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, with young children or with the whole family, there is an option to suit every style of holiday.
One of the biggest reasons guests love IKOS is the food, and Odisia is no exception. With eight restaurants to choose from, guests can enjoy everything from authentic Greek and Italian cuisine to Asian and Spanish-inspired dishes - all included as part of your stay. We also love the IKOS Dine Out experience, which allows guests to head into local restaurants and enjoy a taste of Corfu beyond the resort.
For those who like to stay active, there is so much included, from watersports and tennis to padel, fitness classes and cycling. Or, if relaxing is more your style, spend the day by the pool, unwind in the spa or enjoy drinks delivered straight to your sun lounger on the beach.
2.SANI ASTERIAS, HALKIDIKI
We had a top client, who has travelled to some of the world’s best hotels, and she was completely blown away by Sani Asterias - so much so that we’re already planning her return!
Sani Resort is home to five unique hotels, all sharing access to it's 7km of glorious cape, with crystal clear waters, incredible dining, luxury boutiques and endless activities. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, with little ones or as a family, there’s a Sani hotel to suit every style of holiday.
Our favourite is Sani Asterias, the resort’s most exclusive and boutique hotel. With just 59 suites and residences, it feels wonderfully private and peaceful, while still offering access to everything that makes Sani so special. Many suites have private pools or direct beach access, and its setting beside Sani Marina is perfect, quiet days by the water followed by evenings exploring the restaurants, bars and boutiques.
For us, Sani Asterias offers the perfect balance: the intimacy of a boutique hotel with all the experiences of a world-class resort. From watersports and tennis to nature walks, children’s activities and exceptional dining, it truly has something for everyone.

SNEAK PEAK INTO A TYPICAL DAY AT IKOS KISSAMOS
A DAY IN THE LIFE AT IKOS KISSAMOS
A typical day on Hannah’s trip looked a little something like this…
Reformer Pilates to start the morning the right way
Breakfast by the beach at La Plage
Lunch (and plenty of rosé!) at the beach club
Pool time… with a few more cocktails, obviously
Paddleboarding and activities
Pre-dinner drinks at the lobby bar
Dinner at one of the incredible à la carte restaurants (And always a cookie afterwards...if you know you know)
And of course… as always, besties with the management (Who are the best BTW!)
We are also incredibly proud to be part of the SANI Ambassador programme and the IKOS Prestige Club. We love these resorts so much and genuinely feel confident recommending them to our clients, whether they are looking for a family holiday, a romantic escape or a multi-generational trip, IKOS and SANI always deliver something incredibly special and never disappoint (trust us!).
