At a glance
Ikos Andalusia is rated the number one resort in the world by Ikos, and the property makes a credible case for that claim.
On the Costa del Sol between Marbella and Estepona, the resort spreads across 21 acres of landscaped Mediterranean gardens that run down to a privately serviced beach. Nine indoor and outdoor pools, the largest villa collection in the entire Ikos portfolio, two new restaurants added as part of the most recent expansion, and a full all-inclusive program that covers everything from watersports to spa access and a complimentary electric MINI Countryman for exploring the surrounding Andalusian countryside give it a scale and ambition that very few all-inclusive hotels in Spain can match.
The setting does its own work. The Spanish Mediterranean laps against the private beach, whitewashed villages sit in the hills above, and the warmth of the Costa del Sol fills the 21 acres of palm-dotted gardens that connect the accommodation to the water.
For anyone looking for the strongest version of all-inclusive luxury in Spain, Ikos Andalusia is where that search ends.
Highlights
- Rated the number one resort in the world, on the Costa del Sol between Marbella and Estepona
- 21 acres of Mediterranean gardens, nine pools and a privately serviced beach included in every stay
- The largest and most spacious villa collection across the entire Ikos portfolio, new for 2026
Accommodation
One Bedroom Suite
The entry point at Ikos Andalusia and a well-considered one. Each suite comes with a private pool or sea view, finished in the clean Mediterranean style that runs through the entire resort. Every all-inclusive benefit applies from arrival, with the Deluxe Collection adding exclusive pool and bar access for those who want a layer of additional privacy.
Two Bedroom Penthouse Suite
Glamorous is the right word for the two-bedroom penthouse at Ikos Andalusia. Sea-front views, generous living space and the full Deluxe Collection benefits make this the natural choice for couples or small families who want to feel the Costa del Sol from as high up as possible.
Four Bedroom Villa
The jewel of the Ikos Andalusia portfolio and the largest villa in the entire Ikos collection. A private pool, a garden with a barbecue area and a dedicated indoor gym give the villa a residential quality that sits well apart from the rest of the accommodation categories. Sleeping up to eight in comfort, with complete privacy and seclusion, it is the strongest argument the resort makes for itself.
Further information
Dining
The dining at Ikos Andalusia covers a range broad enough to sustain a fortnight without repetition, with two new restaurants added as part of the latest expansion joining an already strong lineup. The cooking spans refined Mediterranean cuisine, casual beachside options and the new Heroes Village dining and entertainment area, all included without supplement. The all-inclusive offer at this all-inclusive hotel in Marbella extends to premium drinks throughout the day at every venue on the property.
Wellness
Complimentary access to the thermal suites, pools and fitness facilities is included in every stay at Ikos Andalusia, which puts it ahead of most luxury hotels on the Costa del Sol before the treatment menu has even been considered. The spa delivers the full range of massages, body treatments and facials, while the fitness programme, floodlit tennis courts and watersports programme give guests who prefer to move rather than rest plenty to work with.
Activities
The activity programme at Ikos Andalusia is one of the most generous included offers in Spain. Beach days on the privately serviced Mediterranean beach, mountain biking, watersports, floodlit tennis and yoga are all covered. The complimentary electric MINI Countryman for each stay is the detail that sets it apart from every other all-inclusive hotel in Marbella, giving guests a genuinely easy way to explore the cobblestone villages, natural parks and coastal roads of Andalusia without additional cost or logistics. Evening entertainment, live music and beach parties round out a programme that leaves very little to arrange independently.
Spain
Spain occupies the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe, bordered by France and Portugal, with coastlines on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The country’s 17 autonomous regions maintain distinct languages (Catalan in Catalonia, Basque in País Vasco, and Galician in Galicia), culinary traditions, and cultural identities that affect how you experience different areas. Madrid serves as the capital and geographic center, housing the Prado, Reina Sofía, and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums.

Slow Down in Andalusia
Tailor-made VacationSeven nights at a single hillside estate, olive groves in every direction, and nowhere else on the schedule. Most Andalusia itineraries move fast: Seville, Córdoba, Granada, and Ronda, each city allotted a day or two before the next. This one does the opposite. A single week is spent based at a rural estate in the hills, with the surrounding towns treated as occasional excursions rather than a checklist.

Madrid & Chueca: A Sapphic City Break
Tailor-made VacationBeyond Chueca's rainbow crossings and crowded terraces lies a quieter world of courtyard bars, bookshops, and more, explored by LGBTQ+ travelers for decades. Chueca's main streets are well known: the rainbow-painted crossing at Pedro Zerolo, the terraces that spill onto the square outside the metro station, and the crowds that gather there most evenings, a scene that has become almost synonymous with the neighborhood's reputation.

Ibiza: Beyond the Clubs
Tailor-made VacationIbiza's reputation was built on its clubs, but its most exclusive addresses have always been in the hills, well away from the partying. Ibiza became a prominent LGBTQ+ destination decades before the superclubs arrived, drawing artists, writers, and a bohemian community to the island's interior through the 1960s and 1970s. That history has been steadily overshadowed by the island's later reputation as Europe's party capital, and this itinerary is built to recover it.
