Ikos Olivia
Gerakini, Halkidiki, Greece
Olivia is the Ikos that feels most like a garden: low buildings under olive and pine, a long sandy Blue Flag beach on a calm gulf, and children's paddling pools beside the lagoon pool. The Heroes clubs take babies from six months in small groups, and with everything — even spa time — included, the bill stops being something you think about.
