BILBAO, VALENCIA AND SEVILLE, THREE PERFECT DESTINATIONS FOR THE DECEMBER BANK HOLIDAY

The Canaries have always been a place to pamper yourself when enjoying holidays: the prices of hotels are quite affordable and the destination has many chances to make the most of everyday preferred by every traveler: relaxation, adventure, sport, kids, partying... and luxury. If you want to treat yourself to a luxury break you just have to approach Costa Adeje, well South Tenerife has become the place to be and be seen. With the most exclusive hotels and bars and trendy restaurants. The place to be...
If you searching for 5 star hotels in Tenerife, the list of results you will see will be virtually all luxury hotels in Costa Adeje. Except for a landmark hotel in the capital, as in the case of IBEROSTAR Grand Hotel Mencey, in Santa Cruz, the rest of the finest accommodations on the island are concentrated on the banks of 4 beaches: Fañabé, Playa del Duque, Torviscas and Bobo beach. In addition to its privileged location in one of the most beautiful coastlines of Spain bathed by a friendly and relaxed Atlantic, these hotels have marked a before and after in the way of understanding the holidays in Tenerife.

Although there are still hotels and entertainment and leisure for all tastes and budgets, Tenerife has been crowned as an exclusive island in terms of tourism: they are travelers of certain purchasing power seeking spaces to suit themselves, with services of first quality and senior professional staff. The goal is a vacation experience intended to be left not only to enjoying the beaches, the sun and other charms that gives it the destination. They are looking for a place to experience, different and pleasurable experiences, accommodation where you feel at home, but with all the advantages of the service of a luxury hotel.

The affluent tourists visiting Spain have very specific and marked destinations. They have historically been Mallorca and Marbella, which joined Ibiza and recently Formentera, becoming one of the most expensive and exclusive to those who go on holiday to places in Spain. Menorca, while maintaining a remarkable status has always been a place of rest for families, and public figures who want to preserve their anonymity and spend a few days in the countryside at their leisure.

Of the Canaries, however, the island aimed at more ways to bring together luxury tourism was always Lanzarote. And although it continues to lead in many respects (it is one of the most beautiful and amazing islands and one of the quietest of the archipelago), another is threatening its crown: Tenerife has moved fast and has invested heavily. And with the island, the big hotel chains are what, after all, create those little oasis in the great paradise where the guests stay and trust.

These resorts have been placed, as already mentioned, almost entirely in the South, in the area of Costa Adeje. There you can find not only great 5 star hotels, but real gems of architecture, such as the IBEROSTAR Grand Hotel El Mirador, one of the finest and most complete Adults Only accommodation on the island, drinking from colonial influences in its large main building, with large porches and columns and tropical gardens, it has become an attraction in the destination. Its neighbor, the IBEROSTAR Grand Hotel Salomé which is part of IBEROSTAR Anthelia complex, one of the most emblematic in Tenerife - emulates it in many of these aspects, but is more focused on giving a halo of romance to more common areas with a design more baroque and drinking less from the roots of the island.
Beyond luxury hotel
Luxury activities outside of the accommodations have also proliferated in recent years, many of them while the tourist area of Costa Adeje won appreciation not only among the national traveler, but (especially) from abroad. More golf courses, larger and varied in its greens and its routes; more careful theme parks; cuisine restaurants of cuisine and taverns that are retooled to capture a more select audience without losing an iota of charm...

Because it is important to note that although Costa Adeje has grown to the pulse of the tourism, it has not neglected its authenticity and, in fact, it is commendable how the area has maintained its character. The town of Adeje, a few minutes inland, is a sign of the island essence and its natural mountain environment and golf is a privilege for the eyes and for nature lovers. Because the island of Tenerife itself, its landscapes, its heritage, culture and, of course, its people are the real luxury of a holiday in this destination.

New travelers, new forms of travel... new hotel concepts. From this logic equation arises what have been called fun hotels, which are a mixture of accommodation and experience within the destination, a place to find everything without leaving the establishment and oriented mainly to families and young people with the desire to have fun on their vacation.

Maximum facilities in an environment carefully and meticulously customized . Imagine finding absolutely everything in your hotel, so you will not need a minute out to enjoy what you've always wanted on your vacation. Do you dream of a wave pool where you can surf? A chill out lounge with cocktails and DJ sessions with one of those sunset postcards? A theme park? A suite overlooking the Mediterranean? A spa session? Now you can have everything, everything, and everything.

How? Very easy. Move over to the style of the fun hotels , hotels tailored to the motivations of each customer: families, youth, senior travelers, sportsmen, couples ... to the taste of each. Small paradises where your wish is their command. These new hotels are all over the world and go beyond the classic holiday resorts in the Caribbean. They are full of accommodation proposals that refer to the destination's basic notes and apply them directly to their common spaces and services.

The key is to be clear about what you want for your holiday and carefully choose your hotel, even before your destination. The offer is huge, especially in the segment more oriented to family travel. In fact, there are hotels created for children , with all the details that the small ones can imagine, from soup kitchens with fun and themed menus to pools that are true waterparks, cartoon series themed rooms and play areas with professional instructors.

The Melìa Hotels group has transformed its line of hotels for families of Sol Hotels & Resorts and has created authentic cathedrals of fun for kids and adults. The most significant examples are in the newly remodeled hotels that the chain manages in the Calvia, Mallorca area where you can enjoy the , the Sol Katmandu Park and Sol Beach House . Three options that cover virtually the entire spectrum of tourism usually there in this area of the island.

They are hotels for couples, hotels for young people and hotels designed for children to spend a holiday without worrying about anything . Their all-inclusive accommodations arrangements allow for planning the costs and plans without squaring budget and also provide all the comforts of any 4 stars hotel in Mallorca.

Summary. - They are hotels recommended for those that search for the maximum comfort and guarantee in their holidays, not for travelers that want to jump to the adventure.

The location is one of its great attractions since they all are just a 20 minute drive from Palma, the capital, where you can enjoy some days shopping, doing cultural visits, seeing concerts and theatre, bars and restaurants of all kinds. On the other hand, they are directly connected to the airport through transfers that can be included in the reservation.

Personalized Tourism

The secret of the success of these hotels devoted to fun and the personalized entertainment of its guests is precisely to offer the visitor everything you need so you can enjoy the best of destination without having to hassle with routes and reservations. The hotel manages everything, and it puts everything at your fingertips as well.

The prices of these accommodations are obviously higher than those of a normal 4 star hotel, but in the end, if you evaluate the relation of the price to the quality services, they leave winning . If you are someone who values comfort above all during the holidays, they are more than recommended. However, if your appeal is to get lost in the destination, to discover and experience it, its not worth it because you will be paying for something you will not take advantage of in the end.

WHY NORTHERN MAJORCA IS THE TRENDIEST SPORTS DESTINATION?

WHY NORTHERN MAJORCA IS THE TRENDIEST SPORTS DESTINATION?

Its landscapes, wonderful beaches, charming harbours, the Mediterranean sea, its peaceful winds, quiet atmosphere and kind people, high quality healthcare, great connections with the rest of the island... Not to mention, the hotels specially designed for practicing any kind of sport. These factors make northern Majorca one of the best places for international tourism, but especially for outdoor sports lovers.

According to the official published figures, Sports tourism is one of the best consolidated in Majorca, as well as in many touristic destinations in Spain (only national tourism). More than 2,3 million Spanish travellers travel just to practice sports on their holidays. The number of international travellers coming to Spain for this reason is even higher: more than 9 millions a year. Most of them stay at golf hotels in Chiclana , golf hotels in Isla Canela and top hotels in northern Majorca. More than half are men and tourism expenditure in Spain exceed 10 million euros.

In the Balearic Islands, more than 2 millions of visitors come to the islands to practice sports. This figure keeps growing continuously. Cycle tourism is also growing in Majorca and particularly on the north coast of Majorca. Hiking is also really popular in Menorca and Ibiza is one of the favourite destinations for sailing lovers, as well as Palma de Mallorca, hosting world-famous regattas such as King's Cup or Princess Sofia Trophy sponsored by IBEROSTAR Hotels & Resorts . Majorca stands out on golf tourism and cycling, even attracting international teams on their seasonal trainings in the island.

If we look at the growing trend of these sports segments in Majorca, we can see that the pioneer was golf tourism, including 5-star hotels surrounded by exclusive golf courses of 18 holes all over the island, designed by some of the most world prestigious golf figures: Son Vida and Son Antem (near the capital, Palma), Calvia coast (Golf Bendinat, near , one of the most exclusive hotels in Europe inaugurated this season; Golf Santa Ponsa...). Grand Hotel Portals Nous On the north of the island, there are some of the most popular golf courses such as Golf Puntiro, in Sineu; Pula Golf and Golf Son Servera, both in Cala Ratjada; Golf Alcanada in Alcudia; and Golf Pollensa.

Many 4-star hotels are now committed to sports due to cycle tourism popularity. Many hotels in Alcudia and Can Picafort , such as the hotels in Son Baulo by Ferrer Hotels , are committed to offering facilities and services to meet athletes needs: bicycle repair shops, specialized shop, cyclist menus, special rooms... A good example are the hotels in Playa de Muro managed by IBEROSTAR Hotels & Resorts. Garden Hotels has its own athlete travel packages: Garden Experience and Protur Hotels offer special deals and services for athletes.

Most of these hotel chains have decided to join forces with private local businesses or international companies specialized in cycle tourism, thus benefiting the island's complementary offer, making it grow thanks to the hotels nearby.

Step by step, as the variety of sports travellers practice increases, hotels offering athlete services increase too. New hotel concepts have emerged such as spa hotels, which apart from sport areas include wellness and athlete special care.

Taking a closer look at the sports traveller profile and his behaviour in Majorca, we can see that the average stay is often not as high as family travellers in summer (usually between 2 and 3 weeks) but similar to getaway, short break and constituency week visitors: about 9 days. Daily expenditure is more than 100 euros and keeps growing, as there are more and more customized products and services that meet their needs.

The travel planning changes. Travelling with kids is very time consuming and it is really difficult to combine both children and intense sports day or island tours. However, many group travels are organized, leading to high occupancy at certain times of the year like spring or early autumn, previously offering low-occupancy. Seasonality remains a major concern.

Sports promotes deseasonalization, thus institutions and public administrations in Majorca (and Spain) are committed to the cause, creating cycle tourism and hiking tours, diving, surfing, sailing, kite surfing areas ... particularly in northern Majorca.

Alcudia, Pollensa, Playa de Muro, Can Picafort, Son Serra and Formentor Cape surroundings are some of the best sports tourism areas in northern Majorca. Their natural beauty makes them different from any other Mediterranean destination. They offer high quality services for travellers and they are perfectly connected with the capital, main harbours in the island and the airport (within 50 minutes by car).

The official Tourism website of the Balearic Islands points out that the quality of the environment is one of the best advantages of practicing several sports. Cycle tourism is really popular and all those who practice this sport stand out that Majorca has an excellent network of roads for bicycles and other vehicles. 675 of the 1275 kms of roads in Majorca, are secondary and town roads, where you can ride freely. In addition, according to the regional government, 20% of these roads are mountain trails: Serra de Tramuntana, which is not just a unique place in the world declared a protected World Heritage Site, but the perfect place for cyclists and mountaineers.

Risks remain but the administrative commitment is high in this sense, as well as the awareness among residents and visitors, so the number of accidents is low compared to the number of cyclists visiting the island every year.

Some of the best routes are the Green olive tree tour (across some towns like Selva, Caimari, Mancor de la Vall...), Port de Pollensa to Campos tour (one of the longest as it crosses the island from the north to the south), the tour of Inca, Sencelles, Algaida, Llucmajor...

Recommendations concerning cycle tourism tours in Majorca:

Wear reflective clothes to increase the visibility of the bike and the cyclist, especially in the dark.

Wearing a helmet is mandatory in all intercity roads in the island.

Children's seat can only be occupied by children under the age of 7 and must be perfectly standardised.

Group riding is not allowed in Majorca roads: just pace line riding or in two parallel pace lines. In dangerous areas, just pace line riding is allowed.

Riding on sidewalks, highways and motorways is not allowed.

Drinks and food are essential in non-stops long journeys.

Sun protection is essential and avoid early afternoon hours, as in Majorca temperatures are really high in summer during those hours.

Sometimes we go crazy because of the enthusiasm and desire. We choose the destination, buy the travel guide and start dreaming. There just one inconvenient, the expectations that we create, which later could not be as we thought. It does not mean that the destination is not as nice as we expected, it means that are short and it is impossible to make all the plans that we organized or thought, because it can fill our holidays of too many fun proposals that turn into an obligation.

Reset everything and choose destination and hotel and let yourself go. Travel to enjoy, relax and have lots of great adventures, but improvising a little, which is not bad from time to time.

Let's travel then to relax. Let's look at the map and point the finger at a nice destination, not too expensive (pockets are not up for parties) and treat ourselves to some peaceful days. Here are our proposals. Some of them will surely offer you a great plan.

Sun, endless beaches, luxury gastronomy, great atmosphere and hotels at good prices. Yes! It's one of our favourite destinations. You can go alone, with friends, kids or in couple and there are many possibilities of organizing a tailor made travel. For example, you can book a golf hotel in Chiclana if you want to relax and enjoy the nice weather practising sports; book an apartment in Roche for a romantic escape; book a charming hotel in the centre of Cadiz to experience its nightlife...

Don't get stuck. Cadiz is full of activities and it is one of the best places for a relaxing and affordable holiday. However, take enough time to look for accommodation and flights: it is usually sold out on high season.

Canarias is always a good option. It is a bit tiring getting there, because just flying from Madrid takes two hours ...But it is worth if you have 4 or 5 free days. Tenerife is full of possibilities: aquatic sports, spa, wellness, relax activities, gastronomy, culture, bars and pubs, everything you want. We suggest you enjoy the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the island to disconnect from the world. For example, book a hotel with Jacuzzi in Tenerife , whether in the South or in the North. It is better, if it has not Wi-Fi: disconnect from everything.

Another Canary interesting alternative -even better than Tenerife in our opinion- is Lanzarote. It is really nice to and relax: its natural quietness, its extraordinary landscapes, which seem from another planet and its people are unique. It is a guarantee for you to stay as at home, but with the chance to hotels for couples, apartments and villas have average prices (it is not a cheap destination) travel with kids to Lanzarote live lots of adventures. Family resorts in Lanzarote , but in line with service quality and everything that is offered by the island.

We cannot leave the fortunate islands without suggesting you Fuerteventura. Here the , which allow you to relax while hotels in Jandia beach are great to organize an affordable family holiday in a luxury destination. There are also family hotels with adult spaces kids have fun with animation teams. Beaches are fabulous in the South of Fuerteventura, where you can visit the small villages and the natural environment of the area, one of the best things you can find in The Canary Islands.

Forget thinking about Ibiza as a crazy party island. We are going to talk about the other side of the island, the quiet and peaceful Ibiza. For example, what about organizing a , enjoying its natural beauty, the delicious gastronomy, the hippy markets, the sunset, its secret coves, the natural parks, dinners at the beach family holiday to Ibiza ...It is not necessary to go to Playa d'en Bossa or Vila, we just need to go to the North, to Playa de San Miguel area, so as to have a good time without stress.
