Ikos Resorts has been recognised as one of the top 50 travel experiences at The Family Traveller Excellence Awards 2019, receiving an award for the Going Above and Beyond category.

Now in its fifth year, the Family Traveller Awards recognises the industry’s most innovative brands and products within the family travel space. Ikos Resorts’ collection of luxury all-inclusive properties were recognised for going above and beyond to ensure kids feel special and deliver exceptional experiences for the whole family.

The awards took place at the Natural History Museum Ice Rink on 13th November, hosted by renowned singer songwriter, Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Winners were decided by readers and subscribers of Family Traveller magazine with over 110,000 votes casted.

Mr Antonis Avdelas, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at Ikos Resorts, commented: “We are delighted to have received an award for the Going Above and Beyond category in this year’s Family Traveller Excellence Awards. Families are increasingly seeking enriching experiences in their holiday decision-making process, which is something that we are proud to offer at our luxury all-inclusive resorts and will continue to develop.”

Ikos Resorts offers four ultra-family-friendly properties in Greece and a new resort opening in Andalusia, Spain, in May 2020. Families can enjoy complimentary kids and teens clubs, a wealth of outdoor and indoor activities, and 30 minutes free beach childcare for kids over the age of four.

From little ones to teens, kids of all ages are guaranteed a memorable time at Ikos Resorts. There’s a Heros Crèche for the youngest guests, a Heros Kids Club for children aged 4 - 12 and a Just4Teens club for teenagers aged 13 – 17, all offering a full programme of sports and activities and operated by Worldwide Kids, a professional UK childcare company. The WK Football Academy is tailored to all ages from tots to teenagers, and led by qualified, professional football coaches.

All five resorts encourage families to explore the local area with Ikos Resorts’ MINI Drive Adventure giving them complimentary use of a MINI car for one full day, the brand’s innovative Dine Out concept allowing them to dine at local restaurants, and complimentary tickets to the best museums in the area, all included as part of their stay.

Ikos Resorts will open its fifth property and first one in Spain in May 2020. Located between Marbella and the historic town of Estepona, the five-star resort will feature 411 elegantly appointed rooms and will bring an elevated level of luxury to Spain’s sun-drenched Costa Del Sol.

As a multi award winning brand, Ikos Resorts has been previously recognised for its unparalleled service and excellence with both Ikos Oceania and Ikos Olivia in Halkidiki, voted as the best luxury all-inclusive resorts worldwide and in Europe in the 2019 Trip Advisor Travellers’ Choice® awards, for the third consecutive year.
