Four Sani/Ikos resorts among the best in Greece and Europe
This year, a total of four resorts from the Sani/Ikos Group in Greece and Spain were voted among the best in Greece and Europe by the readers of the respected travel publication. Tens of thousands of travelers from around the globe took part in the 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards, selecting their favorite destinations, resorts, cruises, airlines, and more.
Sani Resort claims top two spots in U.S. and U.K.
Sani Resort claimed first place in the U.S. and second place in the U.K. editions of the 2025 Cond? Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards—two of the most influential international tourism markets.
The luxury beachfront resort, operated by the Sani/Ikos Group, stretches across a 4,000-acre natural sanctuary on the Kassandra peninsula in Halkidiki. It is a landmark for luxury Mediterranean tourism, boasting numerous international certifications and awards for its hospitality quality and sustainable practices.
Across its five award-winning hotels, where three distinct natural landscapes coexist—emerald beaches, dense pine forests, and protected wetlands—guests enjoy top-tier services and amenities: 40 restaurants and bars, pools and spas, international sports academies (Rafa Nadal Tennis Center, Bear Grylls Survival Academy, Chelsea Football Club), kids clubs, and a private yacht marina. Additionally, the internationally renowned Sani Festival and Sani Gourmet events bring together lovers of fine dining and music annually, hosting top creators from around the world.
Ikos Resorts’ luxury all-inclusive concept wins over U.S. and U.K. travelers
Ikos Resorts, known for their premium all-inclusive hospitality, continue to impress on a global scale, earning top positions in the 2025 Cond? Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards in both the U.S. and U.K.
Ikos Porto Petro, which opened in 2023 on the southeast coast of Mallorca, took second place in the “Top Resorts in Europe” category in the U.K. edition. It stood out thanks to its exceptional natural setting between two sandy coves, next to the Mondrag? Natural Park, and along a one-kilometer coastline. The luxury resort blends Ikos’ signature Mediterranean style with the exotic charm of Mallorca, offering unparalleled hospitality with high sustainability standards.
In Corfu, Ikos Dassia, located on a 25-acre green estate with a stunning beachfront, combining modern Mediterranean style with warm Greek hospitality, was ranked the third top resort in Greece in the U.S. edition of the awards.
Also in Corfu, Ikos Odisia, which opened in 2023, made a strong impression as well, taking fourth place in both the U.S. and U.K. editions. Located on the island’s eastern coast, it offers luxury sea-view rooms and suites, fine gastronomy, and premium-level services.
