We’re giving away a four-night stay for two guests courtesy of Ikos Resorts, the award-winning, all-inclusive brand. The lucky winner will have the option to stay at either Ikos Odisia in Corfu or Ikos Porto Petro in Mallorca. The prize includes a stay in a double room on an all inclusive basis, plus up to £500 towards flight costs.
The sixth resort in Ikos’ portfolio, and the second on the island of Corfu, Ikos Odisia is set to open its complex to discerning Grecophiles in May 2023. In a secluded bay across from sister resort Ikos Dassia, guests can appreciate sweeping Ionian Sea views thanks to its elevated position. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Town Corfu is within easy reach – ideal for breaking up beach days with island exploration and culture.
The 395 rooms, suites and bungalows are enveloped by acres of fragrant woodland – feel immersed in nature with the crystalline waters to one side and rolling hills to the other.
Across the 60-acre retreat, there’s something to suit everyone’s taste at suppertime. The all-inclusive concept of unconditional luxury sees menus created by Michelin-starred chefs and 24-hour room service. Five à la carte restaurants lead the pack, from a stylish Greek hideout to an eatery promising an elevated Italian experience. These are in addition to a Mediterranean buffet-style spot perfect for families, and laid-back beach bars where a choice of more than 300 international and local wines, and an array of creative cocktails, can be found.
There are 10 heated swimming pools dotted across the complex. Outdoor, indoor, adults-only or family-friendly, there’s an option to suit all types of travelling groups. When a pampering session is required, signature spa experiences are led by Anne Semonin Paris – think indulgent, sweet-scented massages in front of the rippling sea. Soak up the Greek rays on the 420km white sandy beach, or opt for an adrenaline-inducing excursion; tennis, canoeing, mountain biking and windsurfing are just a few of the thrilling expert-led activities on offer.

Alternatively, the seventh addition to the dazzling Ikos portfolio is Ikos Porto Petro – the second in Spain, following the 2021 opening of Ikos Andalusia in Marbella-Estepona. 319 accommodation options include a selection of two and three-bedroom bungalow suites, ideal for travelling families looking to spread out. Balconies look over manicured gardens, a handful of suites feature private pools, and cliff-hanging three and four-bedroom properties are in the works for the 2024 season.
An extensive gourmet offering is available. Five à la carte restaurants cater to particular palates, although the culinary possibilities don’t end there thanks to the all-inclusive ‘Dine Out’ experience, which offers evenings at local restaurants at no extra cost, supporting the community in the process.
The Local Drive Adventure means exploring the picturesque Balearic island couldn’t be easier. Hop in an electric Tesla for the day and discover all the destination has to offer, from secluded bays with their powdery sands and calm waters to the dramatic views atop rugged cliff-top roads. Alternatively, tackle a hiking route to explore undisturbed nature reserves and experience scenic spots away from the crowds.
Once back at the resort, five indoor and heated outdoor pools await in addition to the private beach, where attentive waiters dart around serving chilled drinks and light dishes. Similarly to all other Ikos Resorts, the Anne Semonin Spa offers state-of-the art facilities sure to lull burnt-out holidaymakers into a dreamlike state.
