As I jumped off the jetty onto a pristine white catamaran for sundowners off Corfu's verdant north-east coastline, I found myself humming a line from Duran Duran's 1982 hit Rio. Despite resembling more of a mackerel caught in a fishing net than a supermodel stretching out her bronzed limbs on the mesh trampoline during our sunset sail, the glamorous backdrop of my holiday made me feel like Simon Le Bon's girlfriend - the one before he shot to fame. This exclusive holiday, available only through British Airways Holidays, is set in the ultra-glamorous world of Corfu's all-inclusive five-star Ikos Odisia.
Here, everyone feels as if they're part of a Vogue photoshoot, with staff floating around this serene and discreet resort in Greek goddess-style robes. Both couples and families will fall in love with it here, as even the children play quietly. And if they don't, well, there are always the complimentary children's clubs.
Odisia, one of seven in the luxurious Ikos portfolio, only opened its doors last year. Some early reviews mentioned slow service, but I was astounded by the number of staff servicing my room and replenishing the mini bar. I had to keep reminding myself that it was all included rather than having to remortgage for a KitKat Chunky.
The style of the place is unique. Twisted 200 year old olive trees grow among the simple, clean lines of low rise luxury villas, sympathetically built in 60 acres of lush gardens on the secluded Dassia Bay. The hotel's stylish interior.
