Accommodations

Blissful Aegean views.

A haven of style and sophistication, the rooms at Ikos Aria each offer blissful views over the dazzling Aegean Sea and lush gardens, the ideal backdrop for sinking into the island way of life. The spacious accommodations are understated, elegant, with whitewashed tones and neutrals that let the views do all the talking.
Pool + Gym

Sun-soaked days start and end in the water.

Ikos Aria's six pools are spread across the resort to suit every guest. There's a main pool and kids' pool, a Deluxe Collection pool with its own kids' pool, a beach pool, an indoor spa pool, and an adults-only pool, with a splash pad rounding out the offering for younger guests.

Ikos Aria's sports and fitness offering is genuinely extensive, with four floodlit tennis courts, a fitness studio, and a full program of classes including yoga, Pilates, HIIT, TRX, Tabata, and circuit training. On the water, guests can try canoeing, paddling, pedalos, and windsurfing, while beach volleyball, mini football, mini basketball, table tennis, giant chess, and darts keep things lively on land. An introductory diving lesson in the hotel pool and mountain biking round out one of the most varied activity programs on the island.
Spa

In pursuit of wellness and balance.

Ikos Aria's spa features private treatment rooms including a couples suite, with two neck and back treatments per room included for Deluxe collection guests. A heated pool enclosed by floor-to-ceiling windows looks out over evergreen gardens, while the wet area offers a steam room and sauna. A fitness studio with contemporary cardio and strength equipment, alongside a hairdressing salon, nail salon, and beauty corner featuring Anne Sémonin products, complete the offering.
Restaurant + Bar

From beachfront Greek to poolside Italian.

Ikos Aria's seven restaurants span the breadth of Mediterranean cuisine. Fresco serves authentic Italian à la carte in a refined atmosphere throughout the day by the pool, while Ouzo brings contemporary Greek cooking to a beachfront setting, equally as enticing for a barbecue lunch or a candlelit dinner. Anaya offers Asian and Oriental dishes with panoramic sea views, and Provence delivers Provençal cuisine with equally impressive vistas. Oliva focuses on modern Spanish cooking by the pool, Kos celebrates the flavors of the island itself, and Seasons rounds things out with a daily market-driven menu in a relaxed but refined setting.

From the Lobby and Lagoon Lobby bars for a relaxed arrival drink to the Main, Deluxe, and Beach pool bars for daytime refreshment, Ikos Aria keeps guests well looked after at every turn. Teatro Bar sets the tone for the evening, with the nightclub on hand for those who want to keep things going after dinner.
