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.
