About

Set along an 850-metre Blue Flag beach on the unspoilt south-west coast of Kos, Ikos Aria redefines what an all-inclusive holiday can be. Combining contemporary Mediterranean design with Ikos' award-winning Infinite Lifestyle concept, this five-star beachfront resort delivers exceptional dining, premium experiences and outstanding service, all included as standard.

Spread across 47 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens overlooking the Aegean Sea and the iconic islet of Kastri, Ikos Aria offers a luxurious escape for couples, families and multi-generational holidays alike. Days can be spent unwinding on the beach, exploring the island with the complimentary Local Drive Adventure, enjoying watersports or relaxing beside one of the resort's elegant pools before evenings are filled with Michelin-inspired dining, premium cocktails and live entertainment.

Accommodation is equally impressive, with 374 elegant rooms, suites and bungalows designed around space, comfort and contemporary luxury. Whether you choose a stylish Superior Room, a spacious family suite or upgrade to the exclusive Deluxe Collection, every stay includes thoughtful touches, exceptional service and beautiful views across the gardens, pools or Aegean Sea.

One of Ikos Aria's biggest strengths is that luxury extends well beyond the resort itself. Guests can enjoy complimentary meals at carefully selected local restaurants through the Dine Out programme, discover Kos with the Culture Pass, or borrow an electric MINI as part of the Local Drive Adventure—all included within the Infinite Lifestyle experience. It is this attention to detail that has made Ikos one of Europe's most celebrated luxury all-inclusive brands.
