Overview

Set between Marbella and Estepona on a golden sweep of Costa Del Sol sand, Ikos Andalusia rewrites what All Inclusive can be. Think Michelin-starred menus, nine shimmering pools, Tesla day drives and a concierge-level Deluxe Collection – all wrapped up in cool, contemporary Mediterranean design that works brilliantly for both couples and families.

Elegant white-washed architecture, immaculate lawns and mirror-like pools frame the Mediterranean at Ikos Andalusia. Vast sea-view terraces, cabana-lined decks and palm-dotted gardens give the resort a high-end beach-club feel, while light-filled rooms and suites bring in the blue of the Costa Del Sol at every turn. For couples and families seeking Costa Del Sol’s sunshine with a genuinely luxe Ultra All Inclusive concept, Ikos Andalusia delivers the perfect balance. It’s approximately 1 hour 15 minutes from Málaga (AGP) airport. See more Spain holidays.

Map & location


Estepona, Costa Del Sol, Spain

Ikos Andalusia enjoys a prime beachfront position on the sun-soaked Costa Del Sol, just outside the traditional Andalusian town of Estepona. Wake up to Mediterranean views, wander straight onto the sand, then head east for the designer boutiques and marina of Puerto Banus or west into Estepona’s whitewashed old town with its flower-filled streets and tapas bars.

Estepona itself blends old pueblo charm with resort convenience – expect castle ruins and semi-tropical gardens, weekly markets, and a chic marina lined with bars and restaurants. With Málaga within easy reach and more than ten golf courses nearby, you’re perfectly placed for both exploring and unwinding.
