Ikos Andalusia, Playa de Guadalmansa, Costa del Sol
Due to open for summer 2021, the all-inclusive, super-stylish and ultra-luxurious 5-star Ikos Andalusia is going to be a sure-fit hit and gem of a family hotel on the ever-popular sun-drenched southern coast of Spain. To start with, the transfer time from the airport will be under an hour so whether you have the youngest of children who don't enjoy travelling or teens wanting the fun to begin this hotel is not too far from the airport, as well as being just a short distance to the chic, celebrity-favourite resort of Marbella and the stylish Moorish cobbles of Estepona.
Ikos Andalusia perfectly caters for the whole family. The childcare starts from 4-months through to 17 years, with a complimentary service for those over 4, although if ice cream trips or watersports are on the menu for the days activities spending money may be required. And if sports-mad kids are keen to develop their football skills, the academy is the ideal place to hone these with a team of qualified coaches. A babysitting service is available so if you are looking for a quiet evening meal, you can arrange this directly with the hotel as and when required for an additional charge.
As the childcare service is available during the day, this is the perfect time for some 'me' time. Whether to try your hand at some watersports, relax by one of the many pools, hire a bike and explore the area, book a pamper treat in the spa, or take advantage of the Dine Out programme where you can try out some of the local eateries, outside the hotel complex, and explore what the area has to offer, as part of a dining programme offered by Ikos Andalucia, included as part of your all-inclusive package.
Then when it comes to your own space, the rooms and suites vary according to family size, requirements and budget. If you are looking for top-end luxury, opt for the Deluxe Collection where you will enjoy extra space both inside and out, an exclusive pool area (with a kids' pool) and reserved beach space, amongst other extras.
