Other highlights are the 24-hour room service, wine and cocktails, a food and beverage service by the pool or on the beach and evening entertainment.
Running alongside the award-winning experience for guests is a focus on encouraging them to explore the local area, such as the Dine Out option and Culture Pass that are included in the Infinite Lifestyle package.
Families have been thought of in every detail, with the Worldwide Kids operated clubs accepting babies from four months old. There are swimming pools for younger guests too and even a beachside childcare service.

Why here?
The Blue Flag awarded beach with its unspoilt stretch of sand lapped by the Mediterranean is certainly a highlight. Reserved for guests of the resort, there is no added cost for the sunbeds, towels, food or drink that’s provided by the waiting on staff. Ikos Beach Life is a service for parents, where children are cared for whilst they take a little time for themselves.
Swimming pools are available for all, including tots, kids and adults-only, as well as a heated indoor pool and a private pool reserved for Deluxe Collection guests.
Chill with a treatment at the Ikos Spa by Anne Semonin, just the place to get away from it all.
There is a vast selection of sporting equipment, classes and facilities included in a stay at Ikos Oceania, such as Pilates, mountain bikes, yoga and tennis.
Our take
Add some ‘wow’ to a stay at Ikos Oceania with a Panorama Junior Suite, accommodation designed to showcase the finest views of Mount Olympus and the Aegean Sea.
Exploring the wider Halkidiki area is a must during any stay, think pine forests, golden sands, impossibly blue waters and traditional Greek authenticity that permeates everything from dining to architecture. The hotel can arrange a MINI Drive adventure to enhance the exploring opportunities locally.
Access to museums in the area is complimentary for resort guests – a great way to open young minds to Greek history.
