The new Ikos Odisia launches operations in Corfu
Sani/Ikos Group’s second Ikos Resort in Corfu launches operations to welcome guests from around the globe
Ιkos Odisia, the new addition to the Ikos Resorts award winning luxury all-inclusive portfolio, opened Friday 16 June in Corfu, following the successful expansion of the Sani/Ikos Group to Mallorca, Spain, with the new Ikos Porto Petro.
The new beachfront resort is Sani/Ikos Group’s second investment on the island of Corfu, following the awarded as world’s leading all-inclusive resort[1], Ikos Dassia. Just a 25-minute drive from Corfu International Airport and 20km away from the UNESCO world heritage site of Old Town Corfu, the five-star hotel will further consolidate Corfu as a global tourist destination.
The new Ikos Odisia sits in an iconic location, with sea views over the Dassia and Ipsos bays, across a beachfront area of 60 acres. Its luxury design blends harmoniously with the Mediterranean style and Corfu’s natural environment, encompassing the highest sustainability standards. The resort opens with 390 luxury rooms, suites, and bungalows, each designed to promote the unique natural setting and the unconditional luxury hospitality model of the Ikos brand.
The new five-star resort is based on the award-winning Luxury All Inclusive concept, offering guests Greek and international gastronomy menus created by Michelin Star chefs in five à la carte restaurants, as well as a Mediterranean buffet-style restaurant with local products, and a choice of 300 international and local wines served by Ikos sommeliers, 24-hour room service, spa treatments with beauty products by Anne Semonin Paris, babysitting services, and a kids club.
Ikos Odisia also offers sophisticated sports facilities and activities, 15 indoor and outdoor heated pools for adults and children, as well as access to the pristine beaches of the surrounding area. Those looking for the ultimate Ikos experience can opt for the exclusive Deluxe Collection Suites, with tailored services and special benefits, in an unrivalled area of the resort.
As part of their all-inclusive package, guests can discover local gastronomy in selected local restaurants with the Ikos Dine Out service, as well as continue their explorations beyond the resort with the complimentary Local Drive Adventure with Tesla cars, with hiking routes, or with free tickets for local museums and cultural sites, all part of the Local Discovery concept, promoting eco-tourism.
The opening of Ιkos Odisia has generated 700 new jobs. Together with Ikos Dassia, a total of 1,500 jobs have been created in Corfu, with at least half the positions filled by locals. Both Ikos Odisia and Ikos Dassia support the local community and ecosystem with significant Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility initiatives, via the Ikos Green flagship sustainability program. The program includes net zero, zero waste to landfill and zero plastic targets and practices, as well as initiatives for the protection of the environment, the support of local economy, and the promotion of Corfu’s rich cultural heritage.
