Set along the sweeping bay of Kissamos in western Crete, Ikos Kissamos is a contemporary beachfront resort bringing a refined all-inclusive concept to one of the island's least-explored corners. The rugged headlands of the Gramvousa Peninsula rise to the north and to the west, the Cretan Sea stretches uninterrupted toward the horizon. A setting that rewards both those who want to do nothing and those who want to discover everything.
Accommodation ranges from Deluxe Rooms and Junior Suites to Deluxe Villas and family Bungalows across 220 rooms and suites in total. Each is fitted with king-size beds, private balconies or terraces, and sea or garden views, with select villas adding private pools and a dedicated concierge for a more secluded stay.
Dining is anchored by the Ikos signature approach: multiple à la carte restaurants with menus shaped by two-Michelin-starred chef Andoni Luis Aduriz, whose Mugaritz has spent 14 years on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list. The all-inclusive concept extends well beyond the resort through the Dine Out programme, giving guests access to a curated selection of local restaurants and an invitation to eat as Cretans do, without a bill at the end.
The Anne Semonin Paris spa offers treatments rooted in Mediterranean traditions alongside beachfront yoga, while clay tennis courts, a fully-equipped gym, beach volleyball, and football sessions coached by former Premier League players keep more active guests well occupied. Younger guests have their own dedicated clubs, activity programmes, and live productions throughout the stay.
What sets Ikos Kissamos apart is a genuine commitment to placing guests inside Crete rather than above it. Complimentary Teslas allow for independent exploration of Venetian harbours, Byzantine monasteries, and quiet mountain villages, while the Ikos Culture Pass provides free entry to local museums and archaeological sites. From sunrise swims to long lunches under a Cretan sky, this is a resort that earns its place in the landscape.
