Ikos Olivia - Halkidiki

Overview

Other facilities

Around the pristine grounds there’s a lagoon-style pool with a swim-up bar, a large heated pool and separate paddling pools for children and toddlers. All are beautifully landscaped – furnished with comfortable sunbeds and umbrellas – and you can take advantage of the attentive service by the pool or on the beach. The beach offers 450 metres of golden sand, and there’s a complimentary Babewatch childcare service, which gives parents the chance to enjoy 30 minutes of uninterrupted sunbathing time.

Another heated indoor-outdoor pool is located at the Ikos Spa, overlooking the lush gardens, and it’s exclusively for those aged16and up. The spa presents the perfect opportunity to relax and rejuvenate with seven private treatment rooms – including a couples’ suite. Here, fully qualified therapists use professional products by Anne Semonin for their facials and massages. There’s also a steam bath and sauna, as well as a modern fitness studio.

While parents unwind, children can spend time at the complimentary Heroes Kids Club and the seasonal Just4Teens club. Beachside pirate parties, mini discos, games and water sports will fully entertain little guests; and young football enthusiasts can join expert-led sessions at the Football Academy. Even babies, from as young as four months old, will be well cared for at the Heroes Creche (please note the football academy and creche are subject to booking and require supplementary charges).

The many activities on offer around the resort include non-motorised water sports, mountain biking and tennis. You can take part in a range of fitness classes – such as yoga, aqua aerobics and Zumba – or play beach volleyball, basketball, water polo and mini-football. You can also book a range of private excursions or motorised water sports for an extra charge. In the evenings, sit back and enjoy everything from musical shows to movies at the Ikos Theatre.   

Dining information

High-quality dining is at the heart of the Ikos Olivia experience. You’ll find four tempting a la carte restaurants, offering Greek, Pan-Asian, Italian and French dishes, and one Mediterranean buffet-style restaurant. Menus are designed by world-acclaimed, Michelin-starred chefs – such as Hector Botrini at Fresco and Lefteris Lazarou at Ouzo. Ouzo and Fresco offer stunning views across the Aegean Sea, close to the beachfront, while Anaya and Provence provide intimate atmospheres for dining. Nutritious menus for children are available, and chefs can freshly prepare baby food on request. The Garden offers intimate elegance. Wine and dine in style here with a refined a la carte menu showcasing international dishes and the finest local ingredients. Unwind in this restaurant's casual ambiance and order from a speciality wine list too.

Flavors is an excellent buffet-style restaurant that serves Mediterranean specialities for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The impressive selection of dishes is made with fresh local ingredients, and there’s a fabulous choice of wines to accompany your meal. After your meal, mixologists can create your favourite cocktails – or whip up a new creation to suit your tastes – at one of the six hotel bars. Potami is a stylish spot for a sip - order from a menu of fabulous drinks and snacks all-day long.

The resort’s Dine Out programme allows you to experience authentic cuisine and culture at select local restaurants, at no extra cost.

Please note that the resort restaurant The Garden is new for 2024, as is the redesigned and renamed beachfront bar Potami.
