Introduction
As the British winter outstays its welcome, many are still looking for their first proper dose of sun. And you don’t have to search far with southern Europe on your doorstep. Perhaps head to Tenerife and Hotel Botanico whose subtropical gardens hide an excellent spa or the Gran Hotel Bahia Del Duque where world-class resort amenities spill out onto golden sands.
For something a bit different, look to the foothills of Mallorca’s Tramuntana Mountains where 16th and 17th century manor houses are tucked away among the olive groves of the island’s northwest coast. Rising star Croatia also offers unique accommodation in palatial 19th century getaways and five-star Adriatic resorts.
