Ikos Resorts will boast another addition to the award-winning luxury all-inclusive resorts, the sixth in total. The new addition is the Ikos Odisia in Corfu which is slated to begin operations on 19 May 2023. This will be the second Ikos Resort to open on the island in the Gulf of Dassia, after Ikos Dassia – distinguished as the best All-Inclusive Resort in the world – overlooking the Ionian Sea. The new unit is designed by Nimand Architects.
The new five-star hotel unit is only 25 minutes by car from Corfu International Airport and 20 km from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Corfu Old Town.
Ikos Odisia is spread over an area of 24.2 hectares, featuring 395 luxurious rooms, suites, bungalows and villas, sports facilities and swimming pools, while in front of it stretches a 420-meter-long beach of white sand.

The resort will partner with local suppliers and create 700 new jobs, with at least half of the positions to be filled by island residents.
Ikos Odisia will be the sixth unit of Ikos Resorts, following the award-winning Ikos Dassia in Corfu, Ikos Olivia and Ikos Oceania in Halkidiki, Ikos Aria in Kos, and Ikos Andalusia in Spain.
