Sun-soaked coasts, island escapes and the art of Spanish living

Spain remains Europe's great villa country: thousands of kilometres of Mediterranean coast, the Balearic Islands and a hinterland of orchards, vineyards and white villages.

What's on in Spain

  1. Mid-March

    Las Fallas

    Valencia's extraordinary fire festival fills the city with towering satirical sculptures, daily firecracker barrages and a final night when the fallas burn. One of Europe's great spectacles, an easy trip from the Costa Blanca.

  2. April, two weeks after Easter

    Feria de Abril

    Seville's spring fair transforms the city with flamenco dresses, horse carriages and all-night casetas. The definitive expression of Andalusian festivity.

  3. Late June

    Hogueras de San Juan

    Alicante's own great fiesta crowns midsummer with monumental bonfire sculptures, parades and beach celebrations on the night of San Juan. The Costa Blanca's answer to Las Fallas, on your doorstep.

  4. Last Wednesday of August

    La Tomatina

    The world-famous tomato battle in Buñol, near Valencia, packs one gleefully chaotic hour into a summer morning. Tickets are limited and it books out early.

Spain through the seasons

  1. Spring (March – May)

    Blossom, fiestas and perfect walking

    Almond and orange blossom, Las Fallas and the Feria de Abril, and ideal temperatures for hiking Mallorca's Tramuntana or cycling the Costa Blanca.

  2. Summer (June – August)

    Full Mediterranean beach season

    Hot, dry and festive, with warm seas, beach clubs and late dinners outdoors. Alicante's bonfires open the season in June.

  3. Autumn (September – October)

    Warm seas and harvest tables

    The sea holds its summer warmth, crowds fade and vineyards and rice paddies come to harvest. Arguably the finest villa weather of the year.

  4. Winter (November – February)

    Mild days and empty coasts

    Bright winter sunshine on the Costa Blanca suits golf and long lunches, while Mallorca's almond blossom arrives as early as late January.

The Area and Where to Stay

Spain's villa map is wonderfully varied. On the Costa Blanca, Alicante anchors a coast of long beaches and rocky coves, with our villas spread through the sunny Vega Baja towns inland, places such as Almoradi, Catral and Callosa de Segura, where palm groves and orchards meet quiet residential enclaves within easy reach of the sea. The Balearics offer a different register: in Mallorca, the stone hamlet of Biniaraix sits above Soller in the Tramuntana mountains, all citrus terraces and hiking trails, among the island's most coveted addresses. Beyond these, Spain's classic villa regions include Ibiza, the Costa del Sol and Andalusia's white villages. Whichever coast you choose, the formula holds: a private pool, generous terraces and towns where life is lived outdoors.

Things to Do

Days in Spain organise themselves around the sea, the table and the town. On the Costa Blanca, swim from Alicante's beaches, explore the castle of Santa Barbara above the marina, or head inland to the palm forest of Elche, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mallorca offers the vintage wooden train from Palma to Soller, hiking the Tramuntana's dry-stone trails from Biniaraix, and swimming coves along the west coast. Golf courses line both coasts, and sailing, diving and cycling are everywhere. City days beckon too: Valencia's City of Arts and Sciences, Palma's cathedral, or a fast train to Madrid. Your concierge can arrange boats, tee times, guides and tastings, turning ideas into effortless days.

Food and Local Flavour

Spanish eating is a holiday in itself. The Alicante coast is rice country, home of arroz a banda and proper paella, with just-landed fish, turrón from Jijona and salty local anchovies. Mallorca answers with ensaimadas, sobrasada, Soller oranges and seafront grills, plus a wine scene led by Binissalem's reds. Everywhere, the rituals hold: tapas before lunch, long afternoon meals, markets piled with produce, and dinner late under warm skies. Spain's restaurant culture spans humble beach chiringuitos to some of the world's most decorated kitchens. At your villa, a private chef can lay on a paella by the pool, and the concierge will secure tables worth travelling for.

When to Visit

Spain's Mediterranean coasts enjoy one of Europe's longest seasons. May, June, September and October are the connoisseur's months: seas warm enough to swim, terraces in full use and beaches uncrowded. July and August bring peak heat and the liveliest resort atmosphere, ideal for committed sun-seekers, though villas book far ahead. Winter is remarkably gentle on the Costa Blanca, with bright days in the high teens that suit golf, cycling and long lunches, while Mallorca's almond blossom lights up February. Festival timing matters too: Las Fallas fills Valencia in March, and Alicante's bonfires crown midsummer in June. There is, in truth, no bad month.

Getting There

Spain is one of Europe's easiest destinations to reach. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) serves the Costa Blanca with dense year-round connections across Europe, and Palma de Mallorca (PMI) is among the continent's busiest holiday gateways. Madrid (MAD), Barcelona (BCN) and Malaga (AGP) open up the rest of the country, linked by Spain's excellent high-speed rail network. Transfer times are short: most Costa Blanca villas are within forty five minutes of Alicante, and Mallorca's south and west coasts are similar from Palma. A hire car gives the most freedom, and the concierge can arrange private transfers and drivers.
