Hill International Assists Ikos Resorts with First Destination Project in Spain

Hill International will manage the complete remodeling of the Princess Estepona and Costa del Sol Resort for Ikos Resorts. Located on the Mediterranean coast just south of Malaga in Spain, the project will raise the resort from a four-star destination to a five-star guest experience. For Ikos, the project represents a further commitment to providing boutique, luxury facilities for its guests, as well as the company’s first project outside of Greece. The total project value is $185 million.

Originally built in 1964, the 43,000-square-meter resort comprises seven buildings and support facilities, occupying 70,000 square meters of beachfront property. The project will reduce the number of rooms from 529 to 400, increasing the size of each room to allow for more amenities and higher-end finishes and furnishings for guests, as well as integrating Ikos’ brand standards.

Hill is providing management support for all aspects of the refurbishment, including strategic planning, design development services, purchase management and the installation of furniture, fixtures and equipment. The team will also assist Ikos with the reopening of the new hotel, helping to ensure a seamless transition process and manage any issues that may arise.
