Overview & Hotel Highlights

Ikos Dassia on Corfu brings luxurious all-inclusive to 2025 with that famously warm Greek hospitality you dream of. The resort is set directly on the shallow Dassia Bay – surrounded by vast gardens, eight pools, a private beach section, and culinary experiences to delight every palate. Both families and couples will find everything they desire here thanks to clever services, children’s clubs and tranquil adults-only areas. Everything sparkles with immaculate cleanliness, luxury à la carte dining, an exquisite wine list and a wealth of included experiences – even a day to drive a Tesla for your very own island exploration.

Design & Atmosphere

The hotel stretches along the Dassia Bay shoreline in airy, modern architecture highlighted by Mediterranean flora like olive and pine trees. Although the grounds are extensive, the resort feels accessible and thoughtfully designed. Two main zones, each with their own Deluxe areas, offer both relaxation and vibrant holiday spirit: in the evenings, live music, perfectly run bars and stylish terraces keep the holiday feeling alive long after sunset.

Cleanliness & Condition

The standard of cleanliness here is as high as the sea is clear – every room, pool and restaurant sparkles. The housekeeping team works discreetly and thoroughly, ensuring communal areas are always refreshed. Quality materials and top-notch maintenance give the whole resort an impressively well-kept impression throughout.

Value for Money

This is a concept for those with high expectations – but it’s genuinely good value for everything you receive! Gourmet à la carte cuisine and premium drinks, 24-hour room service, an extensive wine list, attentive beach and pool service, a wide range of sport activities and expert childcare are all included, as well as a day with an electric car and the chance to enjoy local Corfiot cuisine at hand-picked island restaurants.

Beach & Pool Area

On the private section of Dassia Bay you’ll find luxurious sun loungers, Balinese daybeds and full service all the way to your lounger. The water is calm and inviting, ideal for SUP and paddleboarding adventures. The eight pools are well spread across the grounds – including adults only zones, family pools and a beautiful indoor spa pool; several are seasonally heated, so you can swim comfortably even before and after the main summer season.

Cuisine & Drinks

Cuisine is a huge part of the appeal: a selection of à la carte restaurants serve Greek, Italian, French, Asian and local Corfiot dishes (plus two Mediterranean buffets). The wine knowledge is outstanding, with hundreds of labels, and the bartenders craft creative signature cocktails – all included! From long, leisurely breakfasts to late snacks, with children’s menus and vegan/vegetarian options – every taste is applauded here.

Families, Couples & Active Travellers

Families love the clubs for all ages – from tots to teens – plus childcare on the beach for some parents-only downtime and generous multi-bedroom suites. Couples are drawn to the adults only zones, discreet service and stunning natural setting. Adventurers enjoy tennis, cycling, water sports, yoga and fitness – much of it included. And if it’s culture you’re after, Corfu Town’s historic centre is only a short journey away.

All in all, a resort for the discerning: top-class dining, impeccable facilities and smart, hassle-free luxury with no hidden extras – whether you’re travelling as a couple seeking romance, a family in need of space or want to discover Corfu in style.
