Benirras Beach

Deputy chief sub Emma Simkins recommends this secluded northern beach surrounded by pine trees: 'Everyone heads here, from families to the uber cool. It's also popular with boat owners who sail in, and the bohemian hippie crowd gather on Sunday nights to drum at sundown.'

Hotel Hacienda

Head of international fashion Rozana Hall loves the Hacienda: 'High end with scoops of old-school Spanish charm and glamour, the Hacienda Hotel is set well away from the throng of San An and Playa d'En Bossa. Perched 180m above sea level, it's a 45-minute drive from town. The 65-room hotel boasts fantastic views of the famous magnetic Es Vedra rock and the recently refurbished rooms are picture-perfect.'
