Why We love this resort...

“I have just returned from the most stunning trip to IKOS Andalusia in Spain. In less than an hour from Malaga airport you reach the haven that is Ikos Andalusia – the 5 star award-winning luxury all-inclusive resort with its own beautiful beach with some of the best activities and food you could imagine. What more could you want from a holiday!

On arrival the first thing you notice when you enter is how tranquil it feels and the furnishing and décor which is absolutely stunning. Ikos have their own scent so as you walk through the doors, you get hit with the beautiful summery scent that is throughout the resort. Upon check in, I was given my own personal concierge where I could ask questions, book reservations and any activities which was all communicated through a WhatsApp number.  Nothing is ever too much trouble and its such a handy extra to have which sets Ikos apart from other European luxury resorts.

The food was absolutely outstanding with 8 A-la-carte restaurants and 1 main restaurant with menus curated by Michelin Star Chefs. You do have to pre-book restaurants which I recommend doing in advance or with your concierge. I am from a foodie family and every single meal was fantastic with so much choice! My favourite was OUZO, the traditional Greek restaurant with a twist. I can honestly say it was some of the best food I’ve ever had. We sat on an outside table with a view of the ocean enjoyed some gorgeous wine whilst sharing several dishes. The Beach Club also had an amazing vibe throughout the day. You can dine here for breakfast, lunch and dinner here and they often have DJ’s in the evenings if your looking for something a little more lively.

There are also 8 bars around the resort, serving premium drinks with over 300 different wines and yummy cocktails to choose from! You could stay a month and never get through them all!! As part of the resort’s experience, you can also pre-book a wine tasting experience which in my opinion, is a must do!

One thing I cannot forget is the fully stocked mini-bar which is included in every room type! I was blown away when I arrived and had a look as I had a whole bottle of white wine, several soft drinks, waters, and mini spirits. If you have a favourite wine, beer or spirt, these can be requested in advance before you arrive or your concierge can sort this for you in resort for you to enjoy.

There are 9 pools at Ikos Andalusia so you really are spoiled for choice. My personal favourite was the scented pool which was surrounded by Lavender so you get the most gorgeous scents as your swimming and relaxing. There are dedicated children’s areas with a great splash pool which is located nearer to reception and the kids club. There are also areas designed for adults if you do want to relax with a book in the stunning Spanish sunshine!  Every pool has pool service to your sunbeds and the service is WOW.  As soon as we arrived at the pool, a towel was delivered to our sunbed and within seconds we were asked what we wanted to drink – and it didn’t just stop there – the waiters are constantly walking around the pool bringing drinks and food throughout the day – and of course it’s all free and included within the all-inclusive package!  There is simply no need to rush for sunbeds as there is SO much space throughout the resort with some many pools and chill out options.

Ikos Andalusia has so many activities which you may which to par-take in, with 2 tennis courts, a fantastic and very equipped fitness centre, loads of water sports facilities and a bike centre with bikes to suit everyone. You can cycle to Estepona along a boardwalk from the resort in 30 minutes which is such a lovely thing to do and experience the local towns and gorgeous restaurants on offer.  There is a charge for certain motorised water sports and the football academy that Ikos hosts but pretty much everything else is included, it’s amazing!

Ikos is all about the little ones, making new friends and creating special memories and this is where it all starts.  Ikos really excels for families with so much on offer including the kids club, daytime activities and fabulous pools to have fun! The Creche takes babies from 4 months to 3 years, with the Heros Club being for those 4 years to 12 years and a just for teens club for the over 12’s. There is a special kids entertainment programme which runs every day and there is sports on offer just for the little ones and tons of activities all designed for them to have the time of their life.

Don’t be put off for Ikos being known as a family resort, it’s also perfect for couples. Top Tip – if you make slightly later dinner reservations you’ll find most of the kids have left for bedtime!

Deluxe collection guests have the exclusive use of an amazing pool which overlooks the gorgeus sea. There is also a cocktail bar and bar pool which you get exclusive access too.” ~ Abbie
