The younger, posher end of Grand Palladium's sprawling Ibizan resort, White Island is one half of the party Balearic's biggest hotel. But this all-inclusive holiday mega-hub is stylishly done, its chic white buildings arranged around a truly dazzling pool. Although good dining options sit alongside, guests can also make use of many more facilities at the sister property. Pick of the bunch are the charming, cactus-strewn Mexican restaurant and the lovely al-fresco spa. With so many activities on site it'd be easy never to leave the compound, but it's well worth venturing out - the resort backs on to a soft sandy beach and nature reserve, and is within easy reach of Ibiza's notoriously exciting nightlife as well as its historic capital.
There's direct access to Playa d'en Bossa, a lovely long stretch of sand dotted with beach clubs for glamorous daytime lounging.
Not far from the airport, Ibiza's most popular resort Playa d'en Bossa has beaches and lively nightlife.
By plane: there are direct flights from London (2 hours 30 mins) and Manchester (2 hours 50 mins). The hotel is under ten minutes' drive from the airport. skyscanner.net
The resort has broad appeal. Couples young and old, multi-gen families, groups of friends - all will feel right at home. The Sa Figuera terrace is a particularly inviting spot to linger; sit on a bright, basket weave chair and enjoy the sea breeze.
We loved the sheer sense of space - even though the hotel's capacity is huge, it rarely feels crowded as guests are scattered over a large area.

The all-inclusive aspect even extends to expertly-made cocktails - we loved the salt-rimmed margaritas on offer in the lobby bar. The stir fry station at Sa Prunera is great - select your preferred protein and vegetables and watch the chef cook up a storm.
