Andalusian Oasis Cracks the Code: TripAdvisor Showers Praise, Positions it Among Globe's Top 10 Havens!

When you think Andalucía, visions of sun-soaked beaches, blissful climate, and a smorgasbord of Mediterranean cuisine probably waltz into your mind. Now, add to that a luxurious resort on the Costa del Sol, making a splash not just in Spain but globally.

While Andalucía continues to bask in the glory of tourist footfalls – with about 12.8 million globetrotters making their way here in 2022, just a whisper away from the record year of 2019 – one star has been particularly twinkling bright. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the pièce de résistance of Costa del Sol's high-end hospitality scene – Ikos Andalusia at Ikos Resort.

This haven of opulence recently found itself amid global applause, clinching the title of 'Best Family Hotel in the World' and 'Best Hotel in Spain' at TripAdvisor's annual Travellers' Choice Awards. And, if you're wondering if this is just a flash in the pan, think again. Ikos Resorts, the brainchild behind the luxury all-inclusive concept, has been bagging a handful of top spots for six years in a row!

So, what's the secret sauce? Nestled between the chic town of Marbella and the historic Estepona, Ikos Andalusia sits like a gem on the Costa del Sol. With 411 rooms, sprawling over 4,000 square meters of pool space and verdant gardens, this first Spanish outing of Ikos Resorts is an oasis of luxury.

But the indulgence is not confined to these sumptuous spaces. The resort's 'all-inclusive luxury' extends to its nine in-house restaurants, each boasting menus curated by Michelin-starred chefs. If this doesn't tickle your foodie fancy, their 'dine out' service invites guests to savour the local eateries, without any additional cost.

In the mood for some self-pampering? Ikos Andalusia's got you covered with a state-of-the-art gym, a soothing spa, a thermal suite, and a beauty salon. And when it's time to explore the surroundings, they make it an experience – whether you prefer a leisurely bike ride or a swanky spin in a Tesla to discover Malaga's hidden gems.

In the words of Lucía Alfaro, from Ikos Resorts' communications agency, the goal is simple - to provide visitors with exquisite and unforgettable experiences. Judging by the recent accolades, it seems Ikos Andalusia has hit the bullseye!
