Ikos Kissamos – Western Crete at its laid-back best!

Home » Blog » Ikos Kissamos – Western Crete at its laid-back best!

4 July 2025

Ikos Kissamos is finally here – and this isn’t just any new hotel launch. It’s Ikos bringing their award-winning, all-inclusive luxury to Crete for the very first time. For those who know the brand, it’s the one you’ve been waiting for. For those who don’t, it’s a great gold standard of worry-free, high-end travel.

There’s real buzz around this opening, and demand will be fierce – especially for those early summer dates and school holidays. Ikos loyalists love being first to try the new one, and no one wants to miss the chance to say they stayed before everyone else!

This could be your favourite corner of Crete:

Think Crete, but dialled up to Ikos levels of polish. Kissamos Bay isn’t your overbuilt resort coast – this is western Crete at its laid-back best, with rugged hills, quiet beaches, and a sense of space you don’t have to fight for. Ikos Kissamos claims 53 acres of landscaped gardens rolling onto golden sands, giving guests all the room in the world to breathe, wander, and unwind in style.

It’s Ikos’ first ever outpost on Crete, and they’re making sure it feels local: bohemian-inspired design nods to the island’s heritage without ever feeling clichéd. Expect a resort that’s big enough to get lost in but clever enough to feel personal, with hidden corners, curated views, and that signature Ikos vibe of effortless luxury.

Ikos has built its reputation on proving all-inclusive can be truly luxurious – and Kissamos is no exception. It’s the brand your clients trust for polish, quality, and the kind of ease that keeps them coming back.

Expect seven standout restaurants with Michelin-starred menus, plus the Dine Out programme for authentic local tavernas – all included. Premium wines, craft cocktails, and a daily-restocked mini-bar come as standard, along with 24-hour room service for total flexibility.

And for that extra layer of indulgence, the Ikos Spa by Anne Semonin Paris delivers expertly curated treatments in a calm, elegant setting. This is all-inclusive the Ikos way: generous, seamless, and genuinely high-end – no compromises, no surprises.

Ikos Kissamos knows one size never fits all – and that’s its magic. Couples can book sleek suites with private gardens or pools, wander the landscaped grounds with a cocktail in hand, and claim their spot at adults-only bars for uninterrupted sunsets. The spa? Tailored treatments and quiet zones that feel properly indulgent.

Families get just as much love. Kids’ and teens’ clubs run to UK Ofsted standards, splash pads and heated pools keep little ones happy for hours, and multi-bedroom suites mean space for everyone without sacrificing style. Even meals are easy, with children’s menus and fuss-free service that lets parents actually relax.

It’s a resort designed to deliver the same polished Ikos experience whether you’re honeymooning, adventuring with toddlers in tow, or gathering three generations under one (very chic) roof.
