 Ikos Kissamos 

Cretan charm meets refined luxury

The latest addition to the award-winning Ikos Resorts family brings you infinite style, ultra-all-inclusive luxury, and breathtaking views over the Aegean.

Embrace the laid-back rhythm of the Mediterranean at the brand new Ikos resort which is set to open in 2026. Spanning over 53 acres of lush gardens and golden sands, Ikos Kissamos is the perfect harmonisation of nature and indulgence, with a bohemian yet sophisticated design inspired by Crete's rich heritage. The resort’s stylish suites host spectacular views of the Aegean Sea, private pools, and verdant landscapes. The immersive living landscape design showcases nature seamlessly integrating into your holiday experience. From lavender mazes and a butterfly garden to shaded olive groves where you can gather in the shaded spots. Children can explore sensory gardens and hidden play spaces while adults find a sense of calm in hammock gardens and sea-facing yoga decks. Each area celebrates the island’s heritage and offers moments of tranquillity, discovery, and connection.
