Bringing the sleek design and upscale talents of its Asia-dwelling siblings, this newcomer overlooking Benitses Bay has become the new queen bee of Corfu’s popular crowd.
Ikos has a habit of making luxuries seem limitless, and with sister resort Dassia just upcoast, it’s clear there’s no compromise when it comes to the brand’s version of Corfiot charisma. But while there’s still a lively hubbub of energy found in its wide-open landscapes, the treat at Odisia is the extra sprinkling of privacy found in the suites and bungalows naturally at home in their solitary headland surroundings. That much-loved infinite lifestyle is still present though, teasing 24-hour room service, 10 pools, and a great sandy beach. It’s only a matter of choosing your favourite spot from which to indulge in it all. ‘All’ being, of course, everything from the cheekiest tipples to the six different restaurants that make travelling through the tastebuds effortless.
No two meals are the same, so it’s only fair that no two days should be either. With a full rollout of day-to-night activities and entertainment bringing new possibilities for creativity and relaxation. Pool childcare means that grown-ups get their time to switch-off, with the Anne Sémonin spa specialist treatments giving a handful of dwindling-thought-antidotes. Or, if you’re wanting to do it just right, it’s all about the Deluxe Collection range. Complete with a complimentary bottle of Taittinger on arrival, exclusive spaces to relax, and a private feet-in-the-sand Michelin-star meal on the beach.
With a mind to how easy-breezy their resort offering might feel, however, Ikos is quick to remind its locations are treasured for a reason. This means that getting out and about to local areas is all a part of the fun. With an authentic dine-out experience best topped off by chatting to the Greek artisans about their crafts. And, if that’s not enough to inspire that same fondness for the Corfiot lifestyle, the local drive adventure entices a visit to nearby old town. With its neoclassical houses, Vlacherna monastery, and many Greek mythologies.

An 18th century olive press is at the centre of this Greek village fantasy, but it’s very much family and a sense of the authentic that is at its heart.
Italian lakes grandeur is unexpectedly the order of the day at this palatial property on its own private peninsula, but despite its glamorous attire, the informal and personal hospitality is distinctly Greek.
