AWARD-WINNING HOTEL
Located in the beautiful Halkidiki region of northern Greece, this award-winning hotel has its own beach, four large pools and plenty of family-friendly activities.
Overlooking the turquoise Gulf of Toroneos, Ikos Olivia is sprawled across 22 acres of landscaped gardens peppered with ancient olive and fragrant fir trees, all leading down to the white sands of its own Blue Flag-awarded beach. Four gorgeous swimming pools, including children’s paddling pools, are dotted about the luscious grounds. Whether by the beach or pool, the all-day waiter service means you won’t have to stir from your lounger to order a refreshing drink or snack. Those feeling more active can choose from an extensive menu of complimentary activities, from tennis on the hotel’s floodlit courts to windsurfing, mountain biking and Aqua Pilates.
From suites perfectly positioned for the best Aegean views to low-rise bungalows with private gardens just steps from the beach, the hotel has accommodation to suit every traveller – with a buggy service on hand to transport you about the grounds. With menus crafted by Michelin-starred chefs, guests have the choice of five tempting restaurants offering everything from authentic Italian cuisine to mouth-watering Asian dishes. The hotel’s Dine Out scheme also allows guests to eat at the best local restaurants at no extra cost.
