Sol Hotels, three hotel types for three different holiday types

By Luke Durden in Sun and beach Hotels

When we are planning our holidays, we should take into account all those things we expect and what we would like to do during our break. We should clearly know why we prefer the beach rather than the countryside or if we really want to travel with the family (or with our couple or friends) in order to enjoy a memorable holiday.

There is a wide range of hotels, but not all of them are designed for the same purpose. As a boutique hotel offers a perfect location in the historical centre of the destination, a big resort is the perfect choice for those who want to enjoy the sun, the hammocks or a pool with amazing views.

Which is the most significant commitment of the big hotel chains? They want to increase their accommodation offer creating hotels for a given audience. In this sense, Sol is one of the hotel chains that put this into action -for many years- more effectively. Its hotels meet the preferences of each customer thanks to its three exclusive subbrands.

The first of them is Sol Hotels, a hotel chain designed for family travels. It has hotels in Andalusia, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Tarragona and Benidorm (not to mention other international destinations like Bulgaria, Croatia or Cuba). Sol Hotels offers great locations within a few metres from the beach.

Which outstanding attribute has also this hotel chain? Its leisure activities programme for families and restaurants offering the best destination’s gastronomy.

For those who prefer to enjoy their holidays with music and endless sunsets, there’s nothing better than Sol House Hotel, a brand with original hotels in Ibiza, Majorca and Malaga. Apart from its perfect location, Sol House also made great developments like Sol Wave House, a hotel on Magaluf beachfront offering the two biggest “artificial” waves in Europe (it’s perfect for surfing lovers).

As romantic getaways are also a great option, we should also check the hotels and services offered by Sol Beach House brand. Its perfect destinations, charming hotels (as Sol Beach House Ibiza) and its Adults Only offer, allow us to enjoy great relaxing holidays, unique experiences and unforgettable romantic moments.

Ibiza: eternal paradise

By Loren in Balearic Islands

Whether you travel alone, with friends or as a couple, Ibiza is the perfect place for a different and inspiring holiday. Although this island is always related to party and night, it is more than the electro music paradise. Ibiza is synonymous with peace, relaxation, game and sport. Sailing in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, arriving to a deserted cove, exploring its history, its famous markets, contemplating the sunsets and tasting the delicious dishes such as bullit de peix is one of the best experiences you could ever have. Ibiza is everything you want it to be. And even more.

This island has a complete range of hotels to choose from. Adults Only hotels, family hotels, beach aparthotels in Ibiza and luxury villas, 3-star hotels in Santa Eulalia, 4 and 5-star accommodations in Playa d’en Bossa…  Getting an affordable rate will not only depend on the type of hotel you choose, but also on the time of the year you book. For this reason, if you are clear about travelling to Ibiza in summer, the best thing you can do is to take advantage of early booking deals that most of the hotels offer on their official websites.

As for gastronomy and restaurants, food in Ibiza is very eclectic, dishes from a broad and diverse range of countries and an excellent selection of top level gastronomic spaces specialized in the regional cuisine. Planning a gastronomic trip to this island is a must if you want to know in depth the idiosyncrasy of Ibiza. Traditional dishes such as sofrit pagés, borrida de rajada, atún a la ibicenca or orelletes are the best representation of this island’s gastronomy and the best way to discover the real essence of this Mediterranean paradise.

Leisure at day and night. The night in Ibiza is one of its main attractions. Besides boasting some of the most famous discos in the world, Ibiza has a bar area where you can have tapas and drinks next to the harbour.  It is the meeting point of hundreds of people to begin the night.

The sunsets in its coves or in any of the chill out bars situated next to the sea, such as Café del Mar or Kumaras, are a must-live experience. At morning, the perfect plan is to enjoy a traditional breakfast with olive oil toasts and then discover the wonderful towns of the island: Sant Antoni, Sant Josep and, especially, Santa Eulália, which is one of the most beautiful and cosiest towns, ideal for those who travel with family and want peace and rest.

Markets and terraces located in the centre of Ibiza city are an excellent alternative to combine with a shopping tour close to the harbour. Later, you can visit the old quarter, the castle, walk the harbour and contemplate the beautiful yachts in summer, have an appetizer in a flat roof in Dalt Vila or visit a beach to sunbathe and get away from it all.
