On a fragrant orange farm in the ever-popular Algarve, with a charming fishing village just a leisurely cycle away, this stunning country estate will leave you with no choice but to slow down.

Whitewashed buildings peek out between rows of orange trees, while bedrooms with colourful accents bring the same sunny vibes indoors. Head into nearby Cabanas for lunch by the waterfront, or bag yourself a lounger and laze beside the serene and secluded saltwater pool. Come morning, a hearty breakfast of fruit, jams and juices fresh from the farm awaits.

Provence is popular for a reason: history buffs can marvel at ancient Roman architecture in Nîmes; keen scavengers can sift through one of Europe’s biggest antiques markets; art lovers can stand where Van Gogh stood at Saint-Paul de Mausole, overlooking lavender fields.

In Avignon, just steps from the imposing Popes’ Palace, sits this grand hotel steeped in history. Dating back to 1688, it has been expertly restored and now boasts a Michelin-starred restaurant, a tranquil walled garden, and smart rooms dressed in clashing patterns and sumptuous fabrics. A stay here is all Provence’s best bits rolled into one.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that this striking retreat was in a far-flung safari destination, not just an easy 40-minute hop from Cordoba.

This is glamping with heavy emphasis on the glam, and without scrimping on any of those all-important luxuries. Thought by us to be one of the best in the region in terms of sustainability, you feel almost completely off-grid here thanks to the spread-out arrangement of the twelve hideaways. Birdwatch from your sunny private deck by day, and stargaze with an expert astronomer by night. Dreamy.

Lovers of the outdoors, this one is for you. Canoeing, hiking, birdwatching and foraging are just a few of the wholesome activities that await you at this quaint 17th-century farmhouse stay.

Come rain or shine, the beautifully scenic Wye valley is the perfect base for a few days of adventure, and this sweet hotel is a great place to return to afterwards. Characterised by unpretentious but outstanding food, cosy and clean bedrooms and a home-away-from-home feel, evenings are best spent beside crackling open fires, before tucking into the hotel’s excellent five-course tasting menu that more than rewards a day spent in the great outdoors.

Authentic Moroccan craftsmanship meets modern European design at this stunning and romantic riad, perfectly positioned in the bustling souk district of Mouassine.

Whether you choose to spend your days out in the alluring chaos of the medina, paying a visit to the YSL museum or Jardin Majorelle, or sprawled on a tangerine lounger around the heated patio pool, make sure to round it all off at the hotel’s rooftop bar, with impressive views of the medina and the Atlas Mountains peeking out beyond the horizon, before retiring to one of 12 uniquely styled rooms, all with gloriously comfy beds.

These stylish suites, situated in the arty and well-to-do Kolonaki neighbourhood of Athens, are a surefire winner for couples, families, and anyone in-between.

Central yet intimate, affordable yet undeniably chic, this hotel comprises 4 spacious hideaways behind a charming neoclassical exterior. The rooms are the main event here, so take advantage of your proximity to Skoufa street where you’ll find galleries, cafes and several eateries, ranging from humble Athenian bakeries to more upscale fine dining experiences.

Nestled in the glorious Sussex countryside and framed by beds of wildflowers sits this sleek and striking Scandi-style eco cabin with bright and airy interiors.

Picture this: a leisurely promenade around neighbouring vineyards and a tournament on your very own tennis court, followed by a rejuvenating dip in the private indoor pool or perhaps a simmer in the sauna. With the pretty villages of Ditchling and Hassocks on your doorstep, and buzzy Brighton less than a 30-minute drive away, you won’t be stuck for ways to while away your time here.

Set in a handsome late-19th-century building near Porta Garibaldi, this small B&B feels more like a friend's home than a hotel. Expect patterned tiles, vintage finds, leafy terraces and plenty of local insight from owner Fabio. We especially like the rooftop breakfasts, served among the greenery before a day exploring Brera, Isola and Corso Como.
