Studio Gronda have been Shortlisted for Hotel Over 200 Rooms – Europe Award in The International Hotel and Property Awards 2022.

Ikos Andalusia is the first all-inclusive luxury complex in Spain, commissioned by the Greek hotel chain Ikos Resorts. Studio Gronda drew up the master plan for the project, as well as its architecture, interior design, landscaping and the lighting for the new hotel. Located on the shores of the Mediterranean, between the towns of Marbella and Estepona, Ikos Andalusia was conceived as a relaxing oasis on the Costa de Sol.

On this project the team spearheaded one of the most complex hotel projects today, fully designing the transformation of seven independent buildings totaling 411 rooms and suites; a dining area housing 6 restaurants run by 5 Michelin-star chefs, and 6 bars; spaces for leisure and well-being; and 4,000 square meters of swimming pools.

A new exclusive and unique resort harmoniously integrated into the area’s natural environment, in which the studio showcases the Greek chain’s essence through architecture and design that promote serenity and sophistication. Ikos Andalusia’s philosophy is based on the hotel chain’s ongoing quest to make each of its hotels a truly unique lifestyle experience. With light natural woods and first-class finishings, Ikos Andalusia’s architecture aims to focus on the experiences that the user can enjoy, such that the design has a purpose. In this case the goal was to convey all the exclusivity that a luxury destination can offer, through its materials and spaces, as well as transformed landscaping, to achieve an interplay link between the complex’s swimming pools, gardens, and the sea.

Ikos Andalusia also boasts multiple outdoor and indoor pools designed for all members of the family, more private areas, and an infinity pool. Presenting a cascade design, they perceptually guide guests towards the beach. The complex also includes spaces designed to promote its guests’ well-being, including a gym and an Anne Sémonin Paris Spa, which offers nine private treatment rooms, as well as a suite, a large interior relaxation room, hammam, sauna, and different types of designer showers.
