Costa Daurada, Spain

Stretching south of Barcelona, the Costa Daurada, literally 'Golden Coast', lives up to its name with miles of soft sandy beaches washed by the warm Mediterranean. It’s a classic Spanish seaside escape where relaxed resort life meets culture and history. Days here are made for slow mornings by the sea and long lunches overlooking the water. Resorts such as Salou and Cambrils offer lively promenades, seafood restaurants and beach bars where sunset cocktails feel almost mandatory. For something different, venture to nearby Tarragona, where Roman ruins rise dramatically above the shoreline. The ancient amphitheatre, overlooking the Mediterranean, is one of the most atmospheric historic sites in Spain. With spring sunshine, wide beaches and a laid-back vibe, Costa Daurada is ideal for a quick Easter recharge before the summer crowds arrive.

Marmaris, Turkey

Tucked between forest-covered mountains and the sparkling Aegean Sea, Marmaris is one of Turkey’s most vibrant coastal resorts. Its sweeping bay, lined with beaches and a bustling marina, offers a perfect mix of relaxation and energy. Life revolves around the water here. Boat trips glide along the famous Turquoise Coast, stopping at hidden coves where the sea glows in shades of blue and emerald. Back on shore, the harbour buzzes with restaurants and cafés serving grilled seafood, meze and refreshing drinks as the sun sets over the bay. For a taste of tradition, wander through the old town’s maze of narrow streets or browse the colourful bazaars packed with spices, textiles and handmade crafts. Warm temperatures, clear seas and plenty of sunshine make Marmaris a fantastic option for an early season dose of Mediterranean heat.

Corfu, Greece

With emerald hills, Venetian architecture and sparkling Ionian waters, Corfu offers a different side of Greece, greener, softer and effortlessly romantic. At the heart of the island lies Corfu Town, where elegant squares and pastel-coloured buildings reveal centuries of Venetian influence. Cafés spill onto cobbled streets, while narrow alleys lead to hidden bakeries and boutiques.

Beyond the town, the island unfolds into olive groves, quiet villages and beautiful beaches. From sheltered turquoise bays to dramatic cliff-backed coastlines, there’s a stretch of sand for every mood. Spring and early summer are some of the best times to visit, when the island is lush, the sea begins to warm and the pace of life feels deliciously unhurried.
