Perched above the turquoise sweep of the Aegean, where pine forests meet the sea and the pace of life slows to something altogether more civilised, Ikos Oceania delivers a rare kind of luxury. One that is measured, deeply polished and grounded in quiet Greek hospitality.
Set just outside the charming town of Nea Moudania, this all inclusive resort combines impeccable service, extraordinary views and a design that invites stillness. It is a place where every need is anticipated and every moment has been gently curated. Whether you are seeking a romantic retreat, a family escape or simply a pause from a fast world, Oceania offers calm with elegance.
Deluxe Living with Panoramic Grace
We stayed in a Deluxe Junior Suite with Private Pool, where the interiors were fresh, airy and effortlessly stylish. The open plan layout made the most of the natural light, while soft toned linens, marble touches and subtle lighting created a soothing atmosphere.
But the true luxury was found outdoors. Our terrace, with its sweeping views over the bay, led directly to our private pool. It became our sanctuary each day — Champagne at breakfast, swims before dinner, and long afternoons where the only sound was the occasional cicada and the quiet flow of water.
The Deluxe Collection service was as seamless as expected. From a personal concierge who handled every detail to priority restaurant reservations, exclusive beach service and complimentary spa treatments, it allowed us to unwind completely. Nothing felt transactional. Every gesture felt considered.
Dining with Soul and Sophistication
Oceania offers a selection of à la carte restaurants, each with its own character and exceptional kitchen. We dined on Mediterranean classics, delicate Asian creations, and contemporary Greek plates that were as beautiful as they were flavourful. Every dish was accompanied by an expertly chosen wine, from a list curated with real thought and depth.
The setting elevated everything. Alfresco tables under soft lighting, gentle sea breezes, and menus that shifted subtly with the seasons. Service was never rushed and never overdone. Meals unfolded like well written stories — unrushed, absorbing and perfectly paced.
A particular highlight was the candlelit dinner on the beach, arranged privately through our concierge. With the sea lapping nearby, the stars above and a chilled bottle of Assyrtiko beside us, it felt less like a hotel experience and more like something timeless.
Travel in Style: The Tesla Touch
As part of the all inclusive experience, guests at Oceania can enjoy the use of a Tesla for the day. A sleek Model 3 was reserved for us through Guest Services — fully charged, spotless and ready for exploration. We drove through sleepy hilltop villages, paused for olive oil tastings, and followed the coast at our own pace, always with the sea in sight. It was freedom on our own terms, delivered with the same poise and polish as everything else at the resort.
It is rare to find a resort where even your car comes with quiet luxury and zero fuss. At Oceania, this is simply part of the offering.
Wellness, Space and Simplicity
The Anne Semonin Spa is designed for restoration, both physical and mental. We each enjoyed a treatment included with our Deluxe stay and found it exceptional — attentive without being clinical, luxurious without affectation. The spa space itself is quietly elegant, a refuge of marble and silence.
For those looking to stay active, Oceania offers yoga on the lawn, paddleboarding along the coast, and bicycles to explore the nearby villages and hills. Or you can simply do nothing at all. Read by the pool. Float in the sea. Let time soften.
There is also a private beach, perfectly kept and wonderfully quiet. Attentive staff bring fresh drinks and cooling towels, and there is always a shaded lounger waiting. The water is calm, clear and welcoming — ideal for morning swims or lazy afternoons with a book.
Style Without Strain
What stands out at Ikos Oceania is its ease. The layout is walkable and refined. The architecture blends beautifully with the landscape. The mood is polished, but never stiff. Children are welcomed without turning the resort into a playground. Couples find space without needing to hide. It is, quite simply, balanced.
The staff deserve particular praise. Every member of the team seemed to understand not just what we asked for, but what we needed before we said a word. From restaurant hosts to housekeepers, the standard of care was consistent and always gracious.
The Verdict
Ikos Oceania is a place of quiet confidence. It does not shout for attention. It does not overwhelm. It offers a kind of gentle luxury that feels restorative rather than performative. For those who travel often, and expect the best, Oceania is an invitation to breathe deeply, to eat slowly, to explore at your own pace, and to sleep without care.
From our private pool to the candlelit dinners, the spa rituals to the effortless Tesla adventure, every element of our stay was designed with care and delivered with grace. If you are seeking stillness, sophistication and sea views that stay with you long after you leave, this is where you will find it.
