Balearics

Water playgrounds of golden sandy beaches, the international jet-set and non stop party life are all trademarks of the famous holiday isle of Majorca whilst smaller Menorca is blissfully tranquil and dotted with glorious beaches; one of the few places left in the Mediterranean where you can still find a secret cove to call your own - even in the height of summer.

Majorca

The island of Mallorca is the most popular tourist destination in Europe, largely because of the stunning variety of its scenery, its warm Mediterranean climate, the hospitality of the islanders, its rich cultural heritage and the richness and of its food and drink. Fortunately, most of the mass tourist market is confined to the southeast corner and the rest of the island is largely unspoilt.

Menorca

Menorca is a beautifully unspoilt island and the smallest of the Balearic Islands. It's calm serenity and remote coves will leave you feeling like a castaway. Gently shelving beaches are perfect for a family holiday offering quiet and safe paddling for the little ones.

There are over 100 beaches on Menorca, Son Bou, Punta Prima, Arenal d'en Castell and Cala Galdana boast beautiful sweeps of golden sands whilst Ciudadella and Binibeca offer tranquil coves.

Away from the beaches Menorca offers a wide range of activities for holiday makers.

Ibiza

Ibiza is one of the five Balearic Islands off the Western coast of Spain - best known, of course, for its year-round sun, sea, sand, sex and whole-hearted embracing of the all-night and all-day beach party. Every summer the place is mobbed by the beautiful and the young from all over the world, each searching for the ultimate in hedonistic fun-in-the-sun. The innovative music scene in Ibiza has been so influential that its trademark genre of chilled-out dance music has come to be known as 'Balearic House', and the place has made superstars out of previously anonymous DJs who have now been catapulted to celebrity status. What began as small bars and underground clubs have spawned whole empires, and international club nights such as Manumission and Miss Moneypennys are now global brandnames.

Although the island's huge tourist industry is geared unashamedly towards these 18-30 'up for it' types, Ibiza does in fact have a lot to offer families and the less nocturnally-minded visitor. For those who manage to tear themselves away from the intoxicating atmosphere of the beach resorts and 24 hour parties (or who wouldn’t dream of ever finding themselves there in the first place), there is a wealth of history and culture to be found in the interior of the island and also in the ancient capital city of Eivissa - Ibiza Town.

Mainland Spain

Mainland Spain and the islands that surround it offer the perfect Spanish holiday. Whether you fancy soaking up the sun on a golden beach or sightseeing in one of the facsinating cities, Mainland Spain has a wide range of choice to suit everyone.

From the Costa's to the Canary Islands, whatever you are looking for you will experience gorgeous golden beaches, glittering nightlife resorts and breathtaking scenery.

Mainland Spain has a reputation for a pleasant climate, colourful scenery and charming tradition. Most tourists go to the Canary Islands, the Spanish Costa's and the Balearics for the beaches but, increasingly, holiday makers are being drawn to Spain by its rich cultural heritage and spectacular countryside.

Once away from the holiday costas, you could only be in Spain. In the cities, narrow twisting old streets suddenly open out to views of daring modern architecture, while spit-and-sawdust bars serving wine from the barrel rub shoulders with blaring, glaring discos.

Travel is easy, accommodation plentiful, the climate ideal, the people relaxed, the beaches long and sandy, the food and drink easy to come by and full of regional variety. More than 50 million foreigners a year visit Spain, yet you can also travel for days and hear nothing but Spanish.

Costa Del Sol

The Costa del Sol stretches along just over 150 kilometres of Malaga province and is one of Spain's most popular tourist destinations. The area's mild climate is the root attraction that makes it possible to enjoy the beaches and a wide variety of outdoor activities year round.

Costa Blanca

Holidays to the Costa Blanca are all about fun in the sun. Its very name, the ' White Coast', gives you a flavour of what awaits you – mile upon mile of enticing white sands. You can almost imagine yourself there, sinking your toes into the soft grains of sand with the warm Spanish sun beating down on you. Bliss.

It perhaps comes as no surprise that Benidorm is still far and away the most popular holiday resort. For years now it's been the hotspot for cheap holidays to the Costa Blanca. A British favourite, it's offers up everything you could possibly need for a beach break. Restaurants and cafes. Pubs and bars. Karaoke and discos. You name it, it's got it.

Costa de Almeria

A dramatic coastline, with miles of warm sands and crystal blue seas. With some of Spain's most beautiful beaches, semi-arid landscapes and lofty palms combine with rugged shores and secluded coves to create the beauty of the Costa de Almeria. Set against a captivating landscape of mountains and hidden valleys, discover sugar-cubed villages and a side to Spain you didn't know existed.
