A luxurious hotel located on a scenic peninsula in Corfu has once again been recognized as Europe’s Leading All-Inclusive Resort at the prestigious World Travel Awards for the second consecutive year. Ikos Odisia, which clinched the esteemed accolade in 2024, has successfully retained the title in 2025 for its idyllic resort nestled on the peaceful eastern coast of the island in the tranquil Dassia Bay vicinity. Despite having only opened its doors to guests in 2023, this modern resort has achieved remarkable success. So, what distinguishes this all-inclusive holiday destination from its counterparts?
When indulging in a vacation at an all-inclusive resort, a top-tier pool facility is essential, and Ikos Odisia excels with a remarkable selection of 10 heated outdoor pools to choose from. The resort also features a designated splash pool for young guests and an indoor pool within the spa premises.
For those seeking privacy, the resort offers accommodations with private pools, including the introduction of new three and four-bedroom villas scheduled to debut in the summer of 2026, as reported by the Express.
After securing your spot on a sun lounger, you can relax and soak up the sun, with attentive staff providing towel service and serving your preferred cocktails on demand. The exceptional service extends to the hotel’s sandy beach, furnished with comfortable loungers and parasols, ensuring a relaxing experience post a refreshing swim in the azure waters.
Another relaxation haven at the resort is its lavish spa, featuring a thermal suite with a sauna and steam bath, a spa pool boasting mesmerizing sea views, and a range of upscale treatments. For families with young children seeking tranquility, kids’ clubs are available for children aged six months and older, offering morning and afternoon sessions.
While there is an additional fee for the creche for children under four, the kids’ club is included in the package for children aged 4-12, offering a wide array of activities to keep them entertained throughout the day.
Guests can also partake in activities such as paddleboarding, yoga classes, tennis, or a round of golf. Complimentary bike rentals are offered for those wishing to explore the peninsula, and the resort can arrange electric car rentals for guests seeking further exploration.
Dassia boasts numerous picturesque beaches offering various activities from sailing to water skiing, making it worth exploring.
In terms of all-inclusive dining, Ikos Odisia provides a diverse culinary experience unlike the traditional chaotic buffets often associated with all-inclusive resorts. While a Mediterranean buffet is available for all-day dining, the resort boasts seven à la carte restaurants serving an array of cuisines, including Greek, Spanish, Peruvian, and Asian options, complemented by an impressive selection of premium wines.
While venturing out to sample local cuisine in the evenings is always pleasant, guests can enjoy the Dine Out option at three local restaurants as part of their all-inclusive package, allowing them to savor local delicacies and immerse themselves in the town’s ambiance at no extra cost.
As night falls, guests can unwind at one of the resort’s cocktail bars for a pre-dinner drink.
The hotel offers a diverse range of entertainment options, from live music to fireworks displays, as well as beach parties to fully embrace the warm summer evenings. For more information about Ikos Odisia and to make reservations, visit their official website.
