Looking for luxury Majorca Holidays? Belmond La Residencia in Deia is one of Mallorca’s leading hotels On this trip, I discovered one of the most special hotels I have had the pleasure of staying at: the stunning Belmond La Residencia. My love for Mallorca is very well documented in this blog. It is an island I have visited over 20 times (I kid you not) and I try to make a special effort to return every year. Why? Because I still feel I haven’t scratched its surface – there is always something more to see or do (or not do at all) in the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands. The hotel is very well known, as it was previously owned by Richard Branson. It is located in Deia, in the north-west coast of Mallorca (around 45 mins from Palma de Mallorca, the island’s capital).

Luxury meets authenticity at this ultra-chic Ibiza hotel bringing decadence and high-brow hedonism to the quieter side of the White Isle. Where is it? Hidden away from the party crowds of the south, the hotel sits proudly overlooking the golden arc of the captivating east-coast Cala Nova cove - a soft-sand beach backed by pine tree-clad hills and rocky red cliffs. This authentic area of Ibiza fuses tucked-away bohemian corners with luxury surroundings. The hotel has direct access down to the cove, where you can enjoy a sun-soaked drink at one of two beachside rustic-luxe restaurants, Aiyanna or Atzaro, followed by a dip in the crystalline azure sea. It’s a very short, sleepy stroll back to your glamorous poolside daybed, where you can pepper sunbathing sessions with the odd cocktail break. With an haute-hippie utopia right on your doorstep, you won’t need - or want - to go anywhere else. Style The avant-garde interior oozes refined glamour, and it’s no surprise … [Read more...] about Discover high-brow hedonism at this ultra-chic Ibiza hotel

Valletta, the capital of Malta is a city I have always wanted to go to and when I finally got the chance to visit Malta back in August, I wasn’t disappointed with Valletta. The city is compact, ideal for a city break and is peppered with luxury hotel options ranging from small boutique hotels within the historical city walls to larger resort style properties outside the city walls. The latest luxury hotel option in Valletta is The Barrister, a boutique hotel which was a former lawyers office, just moments away from Republic Square. We were lucky enough to spend a night there enjoying a top floor hot-tub terrace suite. Read our review to discover more about this luxury hotel.
