The Canary Islands are a famous destination for both sun holidays in the summer and off-season sunny breaks in spring and autumn. If one books a vacation rental in the Canary Islands for the summer months, they get to make the most of the famously picture-perfect beaches of the islands in their most ideal conditions, when the sun is strong and the waters as warm as you can expect throughout the entire year. However, those who come for an off-season break will be able to enjoy these same strands without having to compete for space and in comparative peace and quiet.

Earlier or later in the year, it might be still too chilly for some to brave the waters but there will certainly be weeks in both seasons where you can expect summer-like conditions. So, almost year-round, the beaches of the Canary Islands have something to offer – it just depends on your personal preferences. 

Having the best, most beautiful, and most famous beaches almost all to yourself is a great selling point for these off-season holidays, though, and some beaches are really best enjoyed when the tourist crowds are but a distant memory. Those who book a vacation rental in Gran Canaria, for example, and come to enjoy the Playa de Maspalomas will certainly find this to be the case.

Catalonia is a region of Spain with especially scenic areas and a whole host of beautiful towns and villages. Among these, one of the most picturesque has to be Castellfollit de la Roca, in the province of Girona. Surrounded by tree-covered hills and overlooking a valley between the Fluviá and Toronell Rivers, this unique town is perched on a sheer basalt rock face 50m high, painting an incredibly striking image. The Old Town dates to the Middle Ages and is made up of charming, winding little streets and pretty, historic buildings. Known as the Hanging Town, it is a great place to stop for a meal and a wander while hiking in the area and looks like something right from a fairy tale. Book one of our villas in Catalonia and head out to explore its impossibly beautiful landscapes on your next vacation, making sure to see this wonder with your own eyes on your adventures!

The 200km-long coastline of the Costa Blanca is the ultimate destination for sun and fun and perfect beaches, dotted with gorgeous towns and beloved seaside resorts.

Our villa on the Costa Blanca and in Xàbia, Villa Barbara, is a 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom (sleeping up to 6 guests in total) perfectly located gem, found in a quiet spot in the district of Balcon al Mar, a short distance from the centre of town, with amazing sea views, plush interiors, and incredible amenities. 

Some people are outdoorsy types, others only want to enjoy activities where there are cultural attractions to take in and appreciate. However, most people like some mixture of physical activities and cerebral pursuits and many destinations boasts famous hiking trails or parks or beaches as well as incredible theatres or museums or libraries. If you’re on vacation, therefore, you’re probably going to have an itinerary with a bit of both. However, if you book a villa in Playa Blanca and you’re exploring the range of activities on offer in Lanzarote, you will discover that there is a rather unique attraction that perfectly combines both of these areas of interest – the Atlantic Museum, an underwater gallery where you’ll have to go diving to admire the works of art...
