More About Spain & Islands

When planning a visit to Spain you have to consider what it is you are looking for - it‘s a diverse destination with so much to offer. The beauty of Spain is you can find anything from a fun, family-friendly hotel with kids' clubs and night-time entertainment, to luxury boutique retreats and hotels off the beaten track. You've got a wide choice with the Balearics and Canary Islands as well as mainland Spain. Visit the Balearics to enjoy the summer sunshine in the prettiest settings or head to the ever-popular and family-friendly Costa Blanca or Costa Del Sol which holidaymakers love to return to year after year. The Canary Islands offer diverse landscapes, year-round sunshine, and some of the most luxurious hotels in Europe. Majorca is a large island with a diverse range of hotels; couples seeking a chic and romantic hideaway will find just what they want and families looking for conveniently situated hotels and apartments won't be disappointed either. Of course, if you're looking for trendy and vibrant nightlife, there's no better place than Ibiza with its wonderful selection of top-class clubs where top DJs provide nights you'll never forget. It's also home to a charming old town, lovely little marinas, and wonderful eateries - just the ticket, when you're feeling a bit, partied out. Gran Canaria has striking sand dunes and national parks to explore, Tenerife has the highest peak in Spain - Mount Teide, as well as black volcanic sand beaches plus the more usual golden sandy ones and Menorca is bursting with Colonial and Moorish style architecture and has beach resorts that are perfect for families.
