The Best Destinations for Your Summer Vacation
After months of cold weather, as soon as the temperatures rise, we all crave some sun-soaked relaxation. And what could be better than basking in the warmth with a cool sea breeze on your face? But where’s the best place to go for a mid-season summer escape?
If you’re up for a long-haul adventure, consider heading outside Europe to completely change your scenery. The Caribbean offers some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. But if you prefer to stay closer to home—perhaps to avoid long flights or because you’re traveling with family—Spain has fantastic options that won’t disappoint, like the Balearic and Canary Islands. Let’s take a closer look.
Mallorca, Balearic Islands
Mallorca is a Mediterranean favorite. While it’s a popular tourist spot, it still boasts countless hidden coves, local artisan markets, and restaurants where you can savor the local cuisine. For those who prefer entertainment at their fingertips, the Bellevue Club offers pools, water attractions, a gym, a beach, and even a lively nightlife scene.
Lanzarote, Canary Islands
Lanzarote’s landscape is defined by its volcanic formations, like those in Timanfaya National Park, and the stark contrast between the white-washed houses, the black sands of Papagayo, and the lush green vineyards of La Geria. The island’s accommodations are just as impressive—Bellevue Aquarius in Puerto del Carmen features water activities and a variety of shows and performances.
Riviera Maya, Mexico
If you’re looking to venture beyond Europe this summer, the Riviera Maya in the Caribbean is a top pick. It offers all the beauty of nearby Cancún but with a more laid-back vibe. Think endless white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, ancient Mayan ruins in Tulum, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef for diving, cenotes for swimming, and Playa del Carmen’s nightlife. For a dream experience, don’t miss the BlueBay Grand Esmeralda, nestled in nature and complete with pools, activities, entertainment, restaurants, and sports facilities.
Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
Another fantastic summer travel option is Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, known for its stunning beaches. It’s an ideal spot if you want to relax and soak up the Caribbean’s natural beauty without the crowds. The BlueBay Villas Doradas, an adults-only beachfront hotel with a spa, is the perfect complement to this peaceful paradise.
Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
For those seeking variety in their vacation, Gran Canaria is a great choice. The island’s diverse landscapes include beaches, sand dunes, and mountains. Whether you’re after quiet villages or lively spots like the capital or Maspalomas, you’ll find something to suit your mood. As for where to stay, the BlueBay Beach Club offers comfortable accommodations with breathtaking views and easy access to the island’s main attractions, water parks, theme parks, and golf courses. Its facilities include a sauna and jacuzzi for some extra relaxation.
