Swords Travel is thrilled to share an exciting milestone in the Ikos Resorts journey: the announcement of Ikos Kissamos, set to open its doors in 2026. Nestled along the shimmering shores of the magnificent Cretan Sea, this new addition will mark the luxury hotel brand’s eighth property and its first all-suite retreat—so what can you expect?

Located just west of the enchanting city of Chania—where Byzantine architecture meets Greek myth and Roman legend—Ikos Kissamos promises to be a verdant haven of luxury and tranquility. The resort will span over 53 acres of lush gardens, offering a serene escape with direct access to a pristine stretch of beach. If the rest of the Ikos portfolio is any indication, this new venture will embody the hallmark luxury and impeccable service for which the brand is renowned.

Guests can expect elegantly appointed suites that overlook the azure waters or the sprawling gardens, providing the perfect backdrop for a rejuvenating getaway. And, culinary enthusiasts will delight in the resort’s seven gourmet restaurants, featuring menus crafted by Michelin-starred chefs—an Ikos Resorts signature that they absolutely excel at.
