Ikos Kissamos
About this hotel
Ikos Kissamos introduces the brand’s refined 'Infinite Care' philosophy to the pristine shores of West Crete. Spanning a vast, Blue Flag beachfront in Kissamos Bay, the resort manages to balance expansive scale with an intimate, deeply considered atmosphere. The aesthetic is contemporary Mediterranean—bright, airy, and textured with local stone and wood to mirror the rugged beauty of the Cretan landscape. It is a destination designed for discerning travellers who prioritise ease without sacrificing variety. Families appreciate the well-defined zones that cater to both active children and those seeking quiet, while couples gravitate towards the secluded Adults-only areas. The resort's personality is one of effortless sophistication; there is an inherent calm here that encourages long afternoons by the water. The signature experience lies in the culinary journey, moving from authentic Cretan-Mediterranean plates at Kriti to the Asian-fusion influences at Anaya. With six pools to choose from and the serene Anne Semonin Spa offering a quiet sanctuary, the resort invites guests to curate their own pace. For those seeking the ultimate level of privacy, the Deluxe Collection villas with individual pools provide a sanctuary of seclusion. Whether you are exploring the dramatic coastline of West Crete or simply prioritising time on the gold-sand beach, Ikos Kissamos offers a polished, all-encompassing retreat that sets a high bar for island luxury.
Why we love it
Prime Beachfront Setting
Nestled on a sprawling Blue Flag stretch in Kissamos Bay, the resort gives guests immediate access to some of the most lauded waters in Crete. It is a genuine beachfront escape where the Aegean is always just a few steps from your room.
Diverse Culinary Landscape
With seven distinct dining venues, including the notable Kriti, guests can explore a diverse array of global and local flavours without leaving the resort. The culinary offering is structured to ensure that every mood, from casual beachside lunch to refined Mediterranean dinner, is well-catered for.
Considered Zoning
The resort thoughtfully separates its spaces, ensuring all guests feel comfortable. With dedicated Adults-only areas away from the family-centric pools and facilities, it offers a sophisticated environment that caters equally well to couples wanting quiet and families needing space.
Exclusive Deluxe Villas
For guests requiring additional space and total privacy, the Deluxe Collection villas stand out. Each comes with a private pool, providing an exclusive, house-like experience while still allowing full access to the extensive facilities and services of the wider resort.
Extensive Pool Selection
Boasting six separate pools, there is never a sense of overcrowding. Whether you are looking for an active family atmosphere, a quiet lap pool for morning exercise, or an adults-only retreat, the resort provides options to suit your daily preference.
Anne Semonin Spa Sanctuary
The on-site Anne Semonin Spa is a highlight, offering a range of therapeutic treatments in a tranquil setting. It serves as the ideal counterpoint to a day of island excursions, providing a dedicated space to reset and restore in a professional, serene environment.
