"The benchmark for luxury family all-inclusive. Outstanding childcare, excellent dining (including à la carte), seamless service, and a consistently premium experience across resorts. Delivers for both parents and children better than anyone else. I’ve been to 3 of their resorts and Andalusia and Aria were absolutely perfect! Brilliant experience all around. My kids absolutely love Ikos and ask to go back every year."

"Nothing beats an all inclusive where kids (and endless snacks!) are concerned but Ikos amazing restaurants mean that the adults don't need to compromise on quality. Having a kids club that provides for babies means that tired parents truly can have a few hours off to relax."

Florrie Thomas @florriet

“Beautifully designed interiors feel calm, elegant, and effortlessly luxurious, while remaining wonderfully welcoming for families—allowing parents to truly unwind. Thoughtfully planned family suites and connecting rooms offer flexibility for every family dynamic, while the exceptional childcare is a rare find, with a nurturing crèche for babies from four months through to engaging, supervised activities for teens. With ‘dining without limits’, dedicated children’s spaces, and every family essential seamlessly provided, IKOS continues to redefine the fully inclusive luxury family holiday - where the only thing left to do is relax.”

Bridget Mackinnon @bridget.mackinnon

“Once you start planning holidays with children, certain resort names inevitably get whispered at the school gates or NCT classes - Ikos is one of them. A rite of passage in luxury family travel, proving that holidays can be both truly luxurious AND genuinely family-friendly. Trust us, we've been!"

Bonita Turner, Editor of Junior

"Luxury here really stands out , whereas some of the similar groups sacrifice the luxury. I love that you provide such a luxurious setting for parents while providing such thoughtful and fun activities for the family."
