Ikos Dassia brings a new kind of cool to Corfu’s coastline—where five-star luxury doesn’t try too hard, and everything just flows. Think beachfront infinity pools, Michelin-starred menus that make half-board feel like a joke, and a private bay where the water is as smooth as your next cocktail. When you’re not stretched out on a lounger, Corfu’s old town is a short drive away—or, for those who prefer their culture with a sea breeze, Ikos Odisia, its sister resort, is just across the bay.

Inside, the vibe is just as effortless. Rooms and suites are sleek yet inviting, with floor-to-ceiling views that blur the line between indoors and out. The Deluxe Collection turns things up a notch with exclusive perks, while the resort’s Dine Out programme lets you swap the hotel’s fine dining for local tavernas, because sometimes the best way to experience a place is over a plate of just-caught seafood and a carafe of something chilled.
