One of our luxury travel agents, Brenda, recently stayed at Ikos Odisia (Ikos Resorts). Read all about her fabulous experience here….
A Luxurious Escape at Ikos Odisia: My Mediterranean Getaway
Nestled on the stunning Ionian coast, Ikos Odisia exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and seamless service that set the tone for a truly unforgettable stay. A welcome drink is provided and you are escorted to your room.
My Home Away From Home: The Junior Suite Garden Room
My accommodation, a Junior Suite Garden Room, felt like a private sanctuary. Surrounded by lush greenery, the garden views from my terrace were incredibly peaceful—perfect for slow mornings with a coffee in hand. The suite was spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, offering a wonderful blend of modern comfort and natural charm.
Service That Goes Above and Beyond
What truly sets Ikos Odisia apart is its world-class service. Every member of staff I encountered was professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. Whether it was the housekeeping team, the restaurant staff, or the concierge, everyone went out of their way to ensure my stay was flawless. Those thoughtful little touches—like remembering my favorite drink or offering local tips for my Corfu Town visit—made me feel so well cared for.
Strolling Through Paradise: The Grounds
The landscaped gardens at Ikos Odisia are simply breathtaking. Every path winds through vibrant greenery, colorful flowers, and tranquil water features. Walking the grounds felt like wandering through a beautifully curated Mediterranean garden—serene, lush, and picture-perfect at every turn.
The Ultimate All-Inclusive Luxury
What makes Ikos Odisia truly stand out is its fully all-inclusive offering. Every drink, every gourmet meal, Wi-Fi, room service, even the stocked minibar—all included, with no hidden fees or surcharges. There’s no extra charge for à la carte dining in any of the resort’s restaurants, which made the whole experience feel effortlessly luxurious.
A Culinary Journey Across the Resort
Dining here was an absolute highlight. I enjoyed unforgettable meals at:
- Ouzo – Authentic Greek cuisine with a gourmet twist.
- Azul – A bright, international spot with fresh flavors that had me coming back for more.
- Fresco – Elegant Italian dishes, beautifully prepared and full of flavor.
- Oliva – Bold, rich Spanish flavors in a cozy, relaxed setting.
- Elia – Traditional Greek favorites elevated to fine-dining standards.
- Sea Grill – Premium cuts of meat and seafood grilled to perfection.
Sipping in Style: The Cocktails
And oh, the cocktails! Every bar across the resort served expertly crafted drinks—whether I was lounging by the pool with a refreshing mojito, sipping a signature cocktail before dinner, or enjoying a nightcap under the stars. The variety, quality, and creativity were top-notch, and again—all included.
Time to Unwind: The Spa
No luxury escape is complete without a little pampering, and the Ikos Spa by Anne Semonin was the perfect retreat. I indulged in a rejuvenating massage, and the serene atmosphere, expert therapists, and beautiful facilities left me feeling completely renewed. The spa was a true oasis of calm within an already tranquil resort.
Exploring Corfu Town
A visit to Corfu Town was the cherry on top. Steeped in history, this UNESCO-listed gem offers charming cobblestone streets, Venetian architecture, lively cafés, and boutique shopping. It was the perfect cultural counterpoint to the resort’s laid-back luxury, and just a short transfer away.
Final Thoughts
My stay at Ikos Odisia was the epitome of effortless luxury. From the stunning setting and outstanding service to the gourmet dining, lush grounds, indulgent spa, and unlimited cocktails—all with no hidden costs—it was a dream come true. Whether you’re looking for a romantic retreat, a gourmet getaway, or a serene slice of paradise, this resort offers it all.
