5* Gibraltar Yacht Short Break from £549pp
Perfect location!

Welcome aboard the Sunborn Gibraltar, the world’s first yacht hotel - a retreat with a dash of luxury. Moored in the lively Ocean Village Marina, you’re just a stone’s throw from Gibraltar’s bustling town centre and the stunning Upper Rock Nature Reserve.

Take a dip in the infinity pool, featuring lovely panoramic views of the bay, or unwind on deck with a cocktail or two. If you want to maximise on the luxury yacht experience, why not visit the spa? When you’re ready to explore, Gibraltar’s highlights are just a short walk away—from the famous Rock to the charming, shop-lined streets of the town centre.

When it’s time to eat, you’re in for a treat. The Barbary Restaurant serves delicious Mediterranean meals with a focus on local produce – views of the bay on the side. Gastrobar has a more casual menu – think elevated pub grub. And with three bars, including a poolside option, you’ll always have the perfect spot for a refreshing drink in hand.

Price based on 2 adults sharing a Super Yacht King Room for 3 nights on Bed & Breakfast. One suitcase per booking included.

Mexico 5* All Inclusive
From £1499pp + $555 Resort Credit!

The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences is right among the jungle greenery. It has massive pools, a top-notch food scene and a sandy beach, too.

Everything’s on a grand scale at this place. Golf carts are on hand to ferry you from one place to another, or you can get around by strolling along wooden pathways through the jungle – you might even spot some wildlife on your journey. The beach is a big talking point, too, with sherbet-soft sands, giant palm trees and a bar right by it.

When you fancy a dip, there are eight big pools to pick from, plus a pair of swim-up bars shaking flavoured margaritas. Plus, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to food. There’s a buffet restaurant with a separate section for little ones, along with a pizza place open at lunchtime.

Price based on 2 sharing a Deluxe Double Room for 7 nights on All Inclusive basis. Transfers and luggage allowance included.

Escape to Palma City, Mallorca
4 nights from £499pp

JS Palma Plaza - Rated 5/5 Tripadvisor!
If you’ve been dreaming of escaping work and holidaying on an island with pristine beaches, mountain peaks, and ancient castles – you’re in luck. Majorca – the largest of the Balearic Islands, is a dreamy Mediterranean haven. Palma, which is where this hotel is located, in particular stands out as it offers the best of a beach holiday and a city break in one area.

You’ll find the JS Palma Plaza hotel on Plaza Madrid, just a 15-minute stroll from Paseo Marítimo de Palma – a seafront promenade dotted with delicious seafood restaurants, bars, and nightclubs.

Elegantly decorated and spaciously designed, the rooms at this hotel offer a comfortable space to unwind. That is of course, when you’re not at the beach.

If you feel like relaxing in the comfort of the hotel, perhaps pamper yourself at the spa and treat yourself to a massage. Or why not take in the views of the city from the rooftop pool? There’s also a gym if you fancy a quick workout. Later, head down to the hotel restaurant, Es Tretze, which offers lunches and light bites.

Price based on 2 adults sharing a Double Room for 4 nights on Room Only. One suitcase included. Transfers at additional cost.
