Searching for an island paradise? Try Spain

Just a short hop from the mainland, Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Gran Canaria exude laid back glamour in the wintertime. When the summer crowds have departed, the sleepy Spanish way of life re-exerts itself, rushing slows to a crawl and everyone sits back to enjoy the lush greenery, bustling local markets, thriving art scene and wonderful winter sunsets.
With a tropical climate and volcanic origin, winter really is the best time to do a little Spanish island hopping. Making like a modern day castaway is easy with Go2Spain.co.uk, hotels in Gran Canaria include a sprawling autumnal residence in the heart of a fruit farm and beach front hotels dotted so close to the shore it’s impossible to see where swimming pool ends and sea begins.
Just over 100 miles from Barcelona, the craggy cliff faces and fertile plains of the Balearics are all yours to explore from a base at any of the dozens of hotels in Ibiza. From hippy chic in the old town and often forgotten expanses of rural living, Go2Spain is currently offering a choice of one-five star accommodation around the Islands. With prices starting from just £20 a night, why not map out your own journey of discovery and try a different hotel each night?
A tourist Mecca in the sultry summer months, Mallorca offers a real taste of Spain in winter. A hideaway for hermits, pirates and smugglers, the outskirts of the Island house the majestic Cuevas de Arte, a network of caves and caverns on the east coast. Adventurers can stay at the recently renovated Playa Blanca or the charming Hotel Paris. Both start at around £100 per night for a double room, including breakfast and evening meal.
Olivia Skeen, Go2Spain marketing manager said, “Spain’s islands are full of hidden gems and in the winter, transform themselves into vibrant cultural centres. When the summer holidaymakers pack their cases and head home, destinations such as Lanzarote and Menorca fill up their calendars with art and music festivals.”
