With tourism figures in Greece on the rise, and following a successful year of impressive awards and extensive refurbishments in 2016, Ikos Resorts is excited to welcome guests in 2017 to its two idyllic Halkidiki beachfront properties, Ikos Olivia and Ikos Oceania. Following its significant refurbishment, Ikos Oceania will be unveiled in April 2017, with exciting enhancements and a spectacular new look for all of its 290 rooms and suites.

€27 million has been invested in Ikos Oceania over the course of this refurbishment, enabling full renovation of all public areas, restaurants and the Spa. The complete revamp of rooms and suites will now offer the ideal accompaniment to Ikos Resorts' 'Infinite Lifestyle' all-inclusive concept. This concept has already proven hugely successful, with highlights including access to delectable Michelin-starred cuisine, 24-hour room service, in addition to branded drinks and waiter service both pool and beachside. Committed to sustainability and the local community, Ikos Resorts ensures the inclusion of local produce on its menus, whilst the Dine-Out discovery experience allows guests to enjoy a selection of local restaurants at no extra charge.

Investments include the revamp and development of ten ultra-comfortable interconnecting family rooms, 22 one-bedroom family suites with spacious private gardens and new designer sun loungers, and nine deluxe two-bedroom family suites all with expansive balconies or terraces. These superb improvements render Ikos Oceania more prepared than ever to welcome guests for a memorable and sophisticated family holiday on one of Greece's most idyllic coastlines.

In 2016, after just two years of operations, Ikos Oceania dominated the luxury all-inclusive category at the 2016 TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice® Awards – awarded 2nd place in Europe and the Mediterranean's Top 25 All Inclusive Resorts and 6th place in the World's Top 25 All Inclusive Resorts. Moreover, Ikos Olivia was awarded 1st place for Best Luxury Hotel in the World and 3rd place for Best Beach Hotel in the World in the HolidayCheck Awards – a leading, independent online portal for hotel reviews used primarily by German-speaking travellers and based on real reviews provided by guests who have visited the hotels. A true testament to the outstanding value offered by Ikos Resorts' Infinite Lifestyle promise, these accolades reflect a hugely positive year for the group, which looks forward to furthering its success in 2017.
