Amazing offers you just can't miss!

The Best Benalmadena is a sea-facing high-rise hotel in a prime location. Just a couple of minutes’ walk from a sandy beach, it promises plenty of bucket and spade action for families along with spectacular ocean views. There’s plenty going on at the hotel itself, but hustle and bustle isn’t far away if you fancy a change of scene, with shops, restaurants and bars in close proximity.

Two pools take centre-stage outside, fringed by palm trees, thatched umbrellas and loungers. Adults can take some time to recharge at the hotel spa, where treatment cabins line up next to a sauna, Turkish bath and bubbly hot tub. Little ones, meanwhile, can make friends at the kids’ club, which packs in games, sports and arts and crafts sessions.

Family entertainment runs day and night, with quizzes, live music and professional shows on the cards in summer months. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is served buffet-style in the airy hotel restaurant – expect generous spreads of cereals and fresh fruit, along with pancakes, omelettes and favourites like egg and bacon in the mornings, and a mix of Mediterranean, British and local dishes for lunch and dinner. Floor-to-ceiling windows mean you can dine with a view, as well. 

The Vila Gale Santa Cruz hotel offers incomparable views across the Atlantic Ocean from its privileged vantage point above the pebbled beach of Praia das Palmeiras. It’s an ideal choice for families, friends, couples and solo travellers alike. 

While you spend a little time at the on-site spa enjoying a rejuvenating massage, a dip in the indoor pool or a session in the sauna or steam bath, your kids can head to Clube Nep; a space entirely dedicated to children ages four to 12 years old, with all kinds of fun-packed activities on offer. When you’re looking to spend some quality time together, take a dip in the outdoor pool, open to both adults and children, or venture down to the nearby beach. 

When it’s time to eat, there are plenty of options available. The hotel's main restaurant provides a convenient buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. Or, if you’re looking for something a little more formal, you’ll find the Inevitável Restaurant offering an à la carte service for both lunch and dinner. A couple of bars are also on hand with a wide selection of drinks throughout the day. 

Croatian holidays don’t get much more idyllic than paddling about in a rooftop infinity pool overlooking the Adriatic Sea and pine-blanketed mountains, or sipping a glass of exquisite Dalmatian wine while watching the sunset. While staying at this stylish hotel in Cavtat – a charming coastal town on a forested peninsula, not far from the Montenegrin border – this can be your daily reality.

It’s just a short stroll from the seafront promenade and closest pebble beach, as well as Cavtat’s medieval old town, whose maze of stone and terracotta-roofed streets feel beautifully frozen in time. As well as a rooftop pool and lounge bar, the hotel has its own beauty and wellness centre where you can indulge in all kinds of rejuvenating massages, skin treatments and holistic body rituals delivered by expert therapists. If you just fancy kicking back on a poolside sun lounger, they can be hired for €5 per day (refundable through a voucher that can be spent at the poolside bar).

In the mornings, you can look forward to a deliciously fresh buffet breakfast with plenty of sweet and savoury options. Later on, if you fancy eating in, the hotel’s sea view restaurant is a fantastic place to embrace the flavours of authentic Croatian cuisine – one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the local culture. 

While you’re in the area, it’d be a missed opportunity not to explore UNESCO World Heritage-listed Dubrovnik too, either for a day trip or a night out. It’s arguably the most spectacular of Croatia’s many picturesque historic towns, and you can get there in less than half an hour by bus or by taxi.

Place yourself right in Nice's charming centre on Boulevard Victor Hugo. Featuring spacious, modern rooms with a design feel, Holiday Inn Nice is a stylish bolthole that puts you right in the action. Plan your next move over a coffee on the sublimely shaded terrace or recap the day's highlights with an expertly-made cocktail in the bar.

Just a five-minute walk from Nice's legendary Promenade des Anglais, you may be staying in the heart of town but the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean are right on your doorstep.
