Ikos Olivia

Avoid any unexpected spending on holiday with a stay at the all-luxury, all-inclusive Ikos Olivia. Just under an hour from Thessaloniki airport, on a beautiful beach between the outstretched fingers of the Halkidiki Peninsula, the resort is a tonic for both grownups and children, with an emphasis on service, dining and value for money.

If you could design a hotel that offered parents and children everything they wanted, chances are it would look like Ikos Olivia. Children of all ages can look forward to a brilliant choice of games and activities, with something happening both morning and afternoon every day of the week. And with the kids’ clubs and creche operated in line with UK Ofsted standards by Little Guests, parents can relax knowing that their little ones are in the safest of hands.

With the kids safe and happy, adults can relax by the three large pools or on the perfectly groomed beach, with complimentary drinks and snacks. Or head to the spa for a steam bath, sauna or relaxing treatment from French beauty brand, Anne Sémonin.

For family time together there are bike rides, tennis courts, pedalos and volleyball, to name just a few of the complimentary activities. Or you could take advantage of the complimentary Tesla which guests are able to use for a day (pre-booking essential) – a perfect opportunity to explore the beaches, bays and traditional villages Halkidiki has to offer.

Spacious rooms, suites and bungalows boast views across the gardens to the sea beyond. All have floor-to-ceiling windows with higher categories sporting balconies, pools and immaculate private gardens. It’s all rounded off with five excellent restaurants, bringing you the flavours of France, Italy, Asia and Greece. And this being Ikos, wines, spirits and premium champagnes are all included too, as is 24-hour room service and the contents of your mini bar, which is always replenished daily.
