IKOS ANDALUSIA
Costa del Sol
OVERVIEW
Lose yourself in a world of outdoor sports, Pilates and pedalos, Michelin-star food, beach bars, live music and so much more at the Infinite Lifestyle All-Inclusive Ikos Andalusia resort, one of the Costa del Sol’s top five-star hotels and, tantalisingly, the first Ikos property outside of Greece.
This is a family-friendly playground of a place too, as a stay at Ikos Andalusia offers everything from water polo to tennis, power walking to stretch classes, windsurfing and Zumba or basketball and beach volleyball; all available as part of the hotel’s first-class fitness facilities. And, given Ikos Andalusia’s prime seafront setting, poised as it is on a 400m curve of sandy Spanish coastline, admiring it all during watersports and boat trips is always a welcome way to spend any sunny afternoon while here.
Ikos Andalusia doesn’t stop there however, as although young and old are certainly well catered for with all those sports facilities and classes, multiple kids’ clubs and games included, couples are then treated to several Michelin-star restaurants onsite, live DJ music, a 300-label wine cellar and six different bars to savour. What’s more, booking a table at some of Marbella’s best restaurants elsewhere is also easily done, thanks to Ikos Andalusia’s unique dining out programme, which will see you enjoying a complimentary meal at a fantastic local eatery, courtesy of the hotel.
Of course, you only have to look at Ikos Andalusia to know that this is, on top of everything else, a haven of rest and beachside relaxation too. At your fingertips you have the Ikos Spa and products by Anne Sémonin Paris, luxe swimming pools dotted around the gardens, effortlessly attentive service and breezy sea-view suites, some with a private pool; the icing on the cake of your five-star Spanish retreat.
