IKOS Andalucia – Spain
IKOS Andalucia is a resort for switching off completely. Set between mountains and the sea, it stands aesthetically around giant palms, pools and neat gardens, with your eye naturally drawn to the water. And its all inclusive offering leaves other resorts for dust. Everything you could possibly want or need is in this one place, and all delivered slickly and effortlessly. This will immediately lull you into full relaxation mode, with your biggest decisions being which activity might fill your afternoon, or where to eat later.
IKOS have skillfully worked out exactly what parents need, whilst children are entertained from dawn til dusk. You might just find yourself booking in again next year.

From one bedroom suites with a pool, to a deluxe two bedroom penthouse suite, or a four bedroom family villa, they come with enormous beds with crisp sumptuous linen, bathrooms designed for long soaks and panoramic views of the gardens or Mediterranean.
food
Make sure you stay long enough to try everything the resort has to offer. And with nine restaurants, and menus created by Michelin-starred chefs, you might not even leave the resort to dine at the resort’s partner restaurants (also included in your stay). Every Mediterranean cuisine is celebrated, with delicious Spanish offerings at Chringuito and Oliva, the flavours of Asia at Seasons, beachfront and poolside dining and an extensive choice of bars.
activities
One of the most appealing draws of IKOS Andalucia is the huge choice of activities on tap, both in resort and close by. Your stay here includes a day’s complimentary car rental, and there’s a lot to explore in the Andalucian countryside and along the coast. The resort also has a fleet of bikes, which are popular along the Golden Mile (five miles) to Estepona. Golfers will definitely want to take advantage of the exceptional choice of championship courses in the vicinity.
(one round is included in your stay), and tennis players can improve their game with a pro. Watersports include jet skiing, paddle boarding, kayaking and waterskiing, or guests can charter a boat to explore further along the coastline. There’s yoga on the beach each day and needless to say, a very impressive Spa and a state of the art gym.
family
There’s little wonder why families return to IKOS Andalucia – the facilities for children are outstanding. From the age of six months to 17, there’s supervised care and activities. The crèche takes children up to four years, whilst older ones have a vast outdoor play space. And for children who love sport, there are tennis, football and swimming academies. Younger guests can also dine at their own Supper Club whilst parents enjoy some grown up time.
sustainability
The IKOS brand has its own Green Programme encompassing sustainable practices throughout the resort and supporting the local community. The resort is 100% powered by renewable energy and you’ll find no single use plastic. Much of the produce is sourced locally and the resort partners with many not for profit organisations supporting local environmental projects, schools, hospitals and refuges.
