If Only and Ikos Andalusia host luxury agents for fam trip

Ikos Resorts hosted its first fam trip of 2026 recently with luxury specialist agents and key trade partner If Only at Ikos Andalusia in Spain.

The agents, who were visiting an Ikos property for the first time, were co-hosted by Tasha Smith, sales manager for Sani/Ikos Group, and Charlotte Brailsford, head of sales south at If Only.

The group included Dave Allen (Andara Travel), Nicky Davies (Be Inspired by Nicky), Emily French (Olive Lounge Travel), Claire Conroy-Oldham (Off Broadway Travel), Amanda Mollentze (Thames Valley Travel) and Lynne Simpson from If Only.

During their stay, the group saw Ikos Andalusia from a guest’s perspective, experiencing the brand’s signature Unconditional Luxury concept.

Highlights included dining in the à la carte restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with several offering Michelin-star-curated menus, and the weekly White Night party.

They also explored the region, taking part in a scenic 20km bike ride along the promenade to Estepona, and a trip to Puerto Banus using the hotel’s daily shuttle service.

Smith and Brailsford said the trip was designed to “showcase the Ikos Resorts brand and its award-winning offering” while also highlighting the “strong and ongoing partnership” between If Only and Sani/Ikos Group – and enhancing agents’ understanding of how If Only can support their clients travel needs.

Ikos Andalusia is in Estepona, on Spain’s Costa del Sol. Close to Marbella, it is less than one hour from Malaga airport.
