Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Tenerife
From the rolling volcanic landscapes of the Canaries
and the relaxing Mediterranean sun of the Balearics to
the great family friendly beaches of mainland Spain, the
classic combination of sun, sea and great accommodation
is never far away. The fantastic year round weather, the
Spanish charm and culture make for some of our most
popular resorts and villas.
Fuerteventura
It’s all about the stretches of lovely, sandy beaches on one
of the quieter Canary Islands. Fuerteventura is great for
those relaxing breaks under the sun and here you’ll find
one of the warmest climates across the islands. There’s
plenty to keep you occupied and a trip through the unspoilt

Another popular destination and again it’s easy to see the
appeal: Theme parks, nature reserves, enchanting caves,
mountain top fortresses, inland villages and vineyards, the
Costa Blanca, truly has something for everyone. White

In contrast to Menorca, Mallorca is an island of activity and
diversity. Over 300 miles of coastline is the big attraction to
the island (along with the great weather) and there’s plenty
to see in-between from tiny coves to mountain ranges.
The cathedral in Palma, the island’s capital, is well worth
a visit, and if you’re the active type then why not try some

and shops or perhaps something more peaceful in the countryside - we have plenty of choice! Over half of our
villas are within walking distance of a beach too.
We’ve been around, and proud to be independent, for over 27 years and throughout that time we’ve invested
in our villas to make them the best they can be at an affordable price. Why? Because we want you to travel
