Los Cristianos

Deep Relaxation in Los Cristianos

18 February, 2017

If you’re chasing a week of winter sun, or looking for somewhere warm to spend a little longer, Los Cristianos, on the south coast of Tenerife, is one of the most popular resorts in the Canary Islands – and for very good reason. This delightful former fishing village has it all: safe beaches, fishing and pleasure cruises, day excursions to encounter the wildlife or explore neighbouring islands, and some superb restaurants to sample the delicious Spanish cuisine.

But sometimes, even when you’re on holiday, you need that little bit of extra pampering to make you feel totally relaxed. The resort has a number of excellent spa, beauty and wellness facilities that offer everything from luxuriant skin treatments to remedial deep tissue massage – and quite a lot in between.

Flaine

Five Great Restaurants on the Hills in Flaine

17 February, 2017

Flaine is a pretty popular choice for skiers looking for a relaxed winter break: the skiing is superb, the pedestrianised nature of the resort gives it a very laidback kind of feel and, even though it’s one of the quieter resorts in the Alps, it has just enough of an après scene (albeit more sedate) to keep things interesting.
If you are planning a short break to Flaine to ski or simply an escape from the madding crowd for a little alone time, one thing you won’t be is hungry! The resort has a decent selection of eateries, and if you have a little bit of insider info (and you do now!) you’ll be able to seek out some very tasty meals right on the slopes.

So, if you feel the need to escape for a short, luxurious break, whether it’s for skiing in the winter or hiking in the summer, the glamorous northern Italian resort town of Cortina d’Ampezzo is the ideal spot to get a taste of the lifestyle to which you’d love to become accustomed.

Calpe

20 January, 2017

Here’s a choice for you. Behind door number one is another week of interminable UK winter weather, with snow, sleet and commuter chaos, aka “situation normal”. Behind door number two is a week’s holiday chasing the winter sun in the Spanish fishing village of Calpe. Temperatures are mild, the food (especially the seafood) is amazing, there are some wonderful walks and markets, and the local culture is friendly, fun-filled and fabulous.

Marbella

The Perfect Proposal Destination: Romance in Marbella

19 January, 2017

Fuengirola

Waves, Walks and Rich History in Fuengirola

4 January, 2017

When the days are short and the temperatures plummet it’s not hard for thoughts to stray to the idea of chasing some winter sun in Fuengirola, on the Costa del Sol. But while the resort is justifiably famous for its fabulous beaches, wonderful weather and laidback ambience, you might be forgiven for thinking you’d have to sacrifice substance for sun if you’re considering a longer break. But… no es verdad! It’s simply not true – because if you know where to find it, Fuengirola’s depth of culture, history and gastronomy is surprisingly good.

Awesome Après Action in Val d’Isère

2 January, 2017

Ok. You know it: Val d’Isère is one of the most awesome resorts in the Alps if you’re planning on heading to Europe for a winter ski break. But the great range of on and off piste skiing across the hugely varied terrain of the Tarantaise Valley at your toe tips is just the beginning of the fun. Because the other thing you know to be true is that all that means next to nowt if the après action doesn’t measure up – but it does. Oh yes, it does!

Saalbach

Immerse in the Romance of Valencia

If you’re looking for a romantic break that’s a little more “off the radar” (because you’ve done Paris, Venice and Budapest, right?), the gorgeous Spanish port city of Valencia is one of the most laidback and, yes, romantic destinations in Europe. For a start, it’s Spain, so there are those sun kissed beaches; secondly, it’s Spain, so there’s that amazing food; and thirdly, yes, it’s Spain, so there’s the flamenco.
