Best for… unwinding
At this heavenly resort on Lanzarote’s beautiful eastern shore, you’ll find it easy to lose yourself in the leafy tropical gardens and beside the tranquil pools. But the spa and therapy centre is on hand if you need a little help, offering mind-, body- and soul-balancing treatments. From football to volleyball, entertainment to gourmet restaurants, there’s plenty in its extensive grounds to restore you; Lanzarote’s magical green caves, volcanic pools and moonscape national parks are a short day trip away.
Costa Teguise, Las Palmas
Book with easyJet HolidaysStella Village Crete
Best for… a seaside break
A quintessentially Cretan seaside village – with the added draw of an amphitheatre, pirate pool, water park and spa. Next to gorgeous Analipsi beach, its elegant rooms have views of the sea, surrounding mountains and lush tropical gardens that wind around the swimming pools. The seaside Mediterranean restaurant and pool bar is a gorgeous place to relax while the kids are at the mini club – or to show off your moves after dark to an 80s dance soundtrack.

Nearby Koutouloufari, with its dreamy alleys and white sand beaches, is a wonderful day trip, and is dotted with gorgeous tavernas and restaurants for those evenings when you can’t be bothered to cook.
