The Brand New IKOS Kissamos, Crete
Family of 4 - School Hols 2026 from £8499

The hottest new hotel for 2026 is now on sale!
Ikos does the luxury thing better than most. Think dreamy destinations – hello Kissamos Bay – Michelin-starred chefs, and experiences you might just find yourself writing home about – or making space on your Insta grid for. But this place is a world away from old-fashioned, stuffy luxury. It’s laid-back, let-your-hair-down luxury. And that’s why we love it.And their brand of Unconditional Luxury means pretty much everything is included.

But you can’t book a holiday on vibes alone – or can you? – so let’s talk facilities. Spread across the mere 53 acres of Cretan shoreline that Ikos have snagged, you’ll find just about everything. Pool? Eight of them, all heated, with a couple dedicated to splash-happy youngsters. And with waiter service straight to your sunbed, you needn’t even tear yourself away from that page turner when you fancy a cocktail.

Active types, we see you, and we’ve got you, too. If you’re convinced you were Andy Murray in another life, grab a racket and head for the tennis courts – though you’ll have to supply your own adoring fans. There’s padel, too, plus the likes of yoga and Zumba, and a fitness centre stocked with all the usual suspects if you can’t bear to miss a workout.

Expect bespoke treatments, a dreamy relaxation area, and a thermal suite. You’ll leave feeling so zen, you might just float back to your room. And if you're worried about what to do with the kids while you're finding a new plane of relaxation, the kids' club has got you covered.

Did we mention the menus crafted by Michelin-starred chefs? Seven restaurants feels like the perfect number, too – stay seven nights and you can hit them all.

Price based on 2 adults and 2 kids (2-11) sharing a Junior Suite with Pool View for 7 nights on All Inclusive Plus. Private transfers and luggage allowance included.

If you fancy soaking up a bit of the local culture while you're here, Budva's Old Town, surrounded by medieval walls, is just 15 minutes' walk away.

Make your way towards the seafront, meanwhile, and you'll be greeted by a slew of boats and yachts bobbing in the gentle waters.

The beach is lined with bars and restaurants, but if you don't fancy hunting down a menu that suits, just head back to the hotel and tuck into the bountiful offering at the buffet restaurant.
