The AlgarvePicture cliffs soaring over Blue Flag beaches, quaint

villages of white-washed houses, some of the world’s

best golf courses and plenty of scope for tennis and

watersports. The Algarve is simultaneously vibrant

and traditional, brimming with authentic restaurants

serving only the freshest seafood and Piri Piri dishes,

pretty town squares buzzing with live music and

dancing, and rustic Moorish architecture waiting to be

explored.

Team all of this with year-round sunshine, summer

temperatures averaging 25°C and a short flight time

(just three hours) from the UK, and it’s clear why the

southern coast of Portugal is so popular. Whether it’s

the ancient fortress of Sagres or the fascinating Benagil

sea caves, dolphin-watching boat trips or taking the

kids to waterparks, the Algarve is an intoxicating

destination.We visited Lagos in June 2017. The Old Town is surrounded by 16th-century walls with beautiful cobbled streets and a stunning town square. There’s loads of restaurants to choose from and the Praça Gil Eanes has entertainment and music most evenings, which was perfect for us and the children after dinner.

The Balearics are the epitome of laidback chic. This sun-kissed archipelago

in the Mediterranean breathes exquisite yet understated beauty. Stroll

around peaceful whitewashed villages on a walking tour, dip your toes

in the sparkling seas while you unwind on a jetty in one of the many

charming ports, and drink in the rustic charm of the historic villages.

These unique, bohemian destinations are not just home to some of the

most stylish hotels in the Mediterranean, they boast some of the most

incredible scenery too, with fragrant pine forests, striking cliffs and cobalt

seas. Lose yourself in the unhurried way of life that the Balearics is famed

for and savour its mesmerising and diverse aura.

Llagosta – a mouthwatering lobster stew served with thin toast.

Every time I head back to the white isle I fall even more in love. Ibiza isn’t just a party island, there’s so much to discover and some of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever visited. My personal favourite is Cala de Sant Vicent just 10 minutes’ drive from San Juan. It’s lined by beautiful pine trees and there’s a lookout view from the top of the cliff too. I’d also really recommend taking a boat trip over to Formentera one evening for the sunset – it’s just magical.

Canary IslandsThe Canary Islands are blessed with sun, sea and sand,

making them the ideal holiday spot for beach lovers.

But there’s so much more to do in this archipelago

than whiling away the hours sunbathing.

Discover the area’s fascinating volcanic past and

pay a visit to Teide National Park in Tenerife for its

breathtaking lunar landscape and incredible views

across the island, or if you’re seeking an adrenaline

rush, scale the dunes of Gran Canaria in a 4x4 buggy.

As well as the volcanic landscapes and inviting

beaches, the Canaries are awash with verdant forests

and hills, perfect for hiking and bike rides.

If you are up for exploring and a bit of adventure, why not take a trip up Mount Teide for a hike, and the exciting cable car trip?

Picture Gran Canaria. Perhaps you’re playing a round of golf at Mogán’s

Anfi Tauro, or maybe you’re sipping a chilled glass of white wine at an

authentic bogeda. Whichever it may be, no doubt the sun is shining

down and there’s a refreshing breeze in the air. Gran Canaria is a place

that you can truly immerse yourself in – from the timeless natural volcanic

landscapes to its 263km of coastline.

Enjoy the favourable year-round weather and uncover secluded coves

where you can take a dip or hike the trails across the island. It doesn’t

get much more family friendly than Gran Canaria either – you’ll find

plenty of attractions to keep the little ones entertained, from waterparks

to whale watching.

Don’t miss...• The incredible Aquarium Poema del Mar in Las

Palmas de Gran Canaria.

We stayed in Maspalomas which is within walking distance of the restaurants and shops of Meloneras Boulevard and its outdoor terraces, and there were some different restaurants to visit and things to do every night.
