Accommodations

Spacious rooms and suites dotted along the sun-drenched shores of Kissamos Bay.

Ikos Kissamos presents a collection of impeccably appointed rooms and suites that are spacious, sophisticated, and designed to complement the stunning island surroundings. Elegant furnishings make it easy to relax, and private balconies, terraces, and gardens are ideal spots for gazing out over the shimmering waters of Kissamos Bay.
Pool + Gym

Eight pools shimmering beneath the Cretan sky.

Indulge in pure relaxation at Ikos Kissamos, where eight shimmering pools spread across the resort twinkling under the Cretan sun. The main pools are expansive, and there are also kids' pools with splash zones, and others nestled against the golden sands of the beach. Drinks are delivered right to guests' sunbeds, making it easy to stretch an afternoon by the water well into the evening.

For those who like to stay active, the resort features a well-equipped gym where guests can build up a sweat. But it's also easy to be tempted by the stunning island environment, with beachside strolls, restorative yoga and Pilates sessions, or even a TRX class among the pines. The pools and ocean are always on hand to soothe aching muscles afterward.
Spa

A blissful adults-only wellness center.

The adults-only Ikos Spa at Ikos Kissamos provides a serene environment for rest and renewal. The skilled therapists offer a range of customized treatments, featuring products from the esteemed French beauty brand, Anne Semonin Paris. Blending premium oils with nourishing minerals, guests leave feeling completely revitalized. Arriving early for a treatment allows guests to begin their wellness journey with a soak in the inviting Thermal Suite for the full experience.
Restaurant + Bar

Fresh and local island ingredients.

Ikos Kissamos's dining program spans six à la carte restaurants and a market, with menus curated by Michelin-starred chefs and a focus on fresh, locally sourced Cretan ingredients throughout. As the sun goes down, three open-air bars offer expertly crafted cocktails and fine wines with views of the shimmering sea.

From the Lobby Bar to the Beach and Pool Bars, Ikos Kissamos keeps things relaxed but well-crafted for guests’ downtime. Work your way through the menus of expertly made cocktails, fine wines, and premium spirits in elegant open-air settings with views of the sea at every turn.
  • Vibe
    Serene and sophisticated, with the authentic laid-back charm of Crete woven into every corner.
  • Who's it for?
    Ikos Kissamos suits those who want to feel genuinely connected to their destination rather than simply staying near it.

Couples and families looking for a serene, nature-connected base will feel equally at home, and wellness seekers will appreciate the yoga decks, hammock gardens, and spa offering woven throughout the grounds.
  • Location
    Ikos Kissamos sits on the northwest coast of Crete on a private beachfront within fifty-three acres of landscaped gardens overlooking Kissamos Bay, about forty-five minutes from Chania International Airport.
