The Culinary Escape Collection

THE CULINARY

ESCAPE COLLECTION

INTRODUCTION

I’m delighted to share this carefully curated collection of culinary escapes, each

chosen for travellers who believe that exceptional food is an essential part of any

great holiday. Inside, you’ll discover a diverse range of food-focused experiences -

from Michelin‑star dining at luxury beachfront resorts and immersive local flavours,

to extraordinary settings such as underwater restaurants, private chefs and

world‑class cuisine at sea.

Every featured experience has been thoughtfully selected to showcase destinations

through taste, atmosphere and authenticity. Whether it’s refined all‑inclusive dining,

intimate regional food journeys or indulgent gourmet moments woven seamlessly

into your stay, each escape offers something truly memorable both on and beyond

the plate.

From choosing the perfect resort or itinerary to securing the most sought‑after

dining experiences and added extras, I’m here to help plan every detail with care.

Take a look through the collection and see where your next unforgettable culinary

journey could take you.

At Ikos Resorts, dining is a defining part of the experience, combining Michelin-starred cuisine

with effortless beachfront luxury. Guests can enjoy beautifully curated à la carte menus created

by Michelin-star chefs, featuring seasonal ingredients and dishes inspired by both Mediterranean

traditions and contemporary international cuisine.

I K O S R E S O R T S

Across the resorts, dining unfolds throughout the day - from

relaxed seaside lunches to refined evening service in elegant

restaurant settings. Each venue offers its own distinct

atmosphere, but all share the same commitment to

exceptional quality, thoughtful presentation and fresh, locally

sourced produce. The experience is further elevated by an

extensive collection of over 100 premium wines, carefully

selected by expert sommeliers. Featuring both internationally

renowned labels and regional discoveries, the wine list is

designed to complement every dish, with personalised

recommendations available to enhance each pairing.

The unique Dine Out concept takes the culinary journey

beyond the resort, inviting guests to explore handpicked local

restaurants as part of their stay. From traditional tavernas

serving freshly caught seafood to family-run restaurants

showcasing authentic regional recipes passed down through

generations, each experience is carefully selected to reflect the

destination’s true culinary identity. It’s a seamless way to

discover local flavour while still enjoying the ease and

consistency of Ikos’ all-inclusive luxury.

Back at the resort, guests can enjoy 24-hour room service, relaxed poolside dining and attentive

waiter service delivered directly to their sun lounger. At Ikos, exceptional dining isn’t an addition

to the holiday - it’s woven into every moment of the stay.
