Nestled within Ses Salines natural park, Beso Beach offers a true seaside escape. With its seaside shack exterior, though decorated in a luxurious, bohemian style take a break from basking in the sun, and dine on some delicious seafood. If you are lucky, stay until the sun sets, and dance away to the dj spinning groovy tunes. 

The Mediterranean or the Cornish coastline? Hotel Tresanton could fool us. This is a charming seaside retreat with remarkable sea views, making it the perfect spot for a family get-away, or romantic stay for two. 

Overlooking Cornwall's Roseland Peninsula is the picturesque Hidden Hut, which as the name suggests, is somewhat secluded within the dunes. Choose a picnic table, or grab a takeaway lunch to enjoy on the sands. We are eagerly awaiting for their 'feast nights' to begin, roll on the summer!

A guesthouse, bakery, restaurant, and shop all whilst being a working farm. Coombeshead Farm is a cosy, country retreat with a fantastic farm-to-table kitchen. Waking up gets all the more easy knowing that the breakfast (which includes morning buns, compotes, yoghurt, freshly baked bread and cheeses) awaits you!

Casa Jondal is a dreamy beach club and restaurant situated on Cala Jondal. Try any of their delicious, minimal seafood dishes by chef Rafa Zafra and you will be guaranteed to leave more than content. 

Hauser & Wirth may be synonymous with the British art scene, but their location on Isla del Rey is pretty spectacular. It's a quick fifteen-minute ride from Mahon port by shuttle boat, so there's almost no excuse not to go.

Patiki Beach is a charming waterfront chiringuito in Port de Sóller. The kitchen team has truly mastered delicious farm-to-table cooking; with Grace Berrow at the helm you can count on mouth-wateringly good food. 

Magnificent views and great food, Four Boys seriously seems to have it all. Add the fact that it specialises in grilled seafood and pasta to the mix, we think this is fast becoming the perfect spot in Cornwall. So settle down for some ricotta and sage ravioli with truffle shavings, or hake with mussels, nduja, and pickled cabbage. Leave room for dessert: the muscovado tart is to die for. 

Fresh seafood meets small plates. Sounds like a perfect combination. It only seems apt to dine on the freshest seafood when in Cornwall, and Prawn on the Lawn is the place to do this at. Prepare to share - though be warned, everything tastes so good it’s hard not to just keep it all to yourself!

Now we know that the UK has a reputation to uphold when it comes to country pubs and public houses. Harbour House exceeds all expectations. Located on the water’s edge in a little fishing village, this is as quaint as it gets. Grab a pint, though we would highly recommend staying for the food. If you happen to be in the neighbourhood come Sunday, you’ve got to go for the Sunday Lunch: served with Yorkshire puds and beef fat roasties, this is English dining at its finest. 

Perched on the top of the hill Portscatho, The Standard Inn is a cosy, quintessential pub to sip on a pint and watch the world go by. The food is also utterly scrumptious: with changing weekly menus, you’re sure to find something that tickles your fancy.
