Romantic autumn deals in Ibiza
This summer was the coldest in 20 years with few of us feeling as though we received the sunshine injection we needed. Now with autumn bringing shorter days and colder weather, it's the perfect time to think about taking a short break, somewhere warm. Somewhere like Ibiza.
The average temperature in October is a warm 20° centigrade with a healthy eleven hours of sunshine per day. So for anyone in need of a final blast of sun before the long winter months, Ibiza is the ideal place for three or four days of rejuvenation.
Below is a selection of some of the fantastic pampering breaks available this autumn on the White Isle:
