The travel agency
for memorable hotels
Endless summer:
A family escape to Spain
Comfort and charm by the sea
A break by the Mediterranean is the perfect way to stretch out the summer. In September, flight prices are often lower — but hotel rates can still run high, especially in Mallorca (the French Riviera is worse though).
With that in mind, I’ve focused on stylish, well-located hotels that offer the best value within your budget, combining spacious rooms with easy beach access.
Rates reflect your preferred travel dates, 18–22 September 2025 (3 people), except for the option in Begur which is very sold out. Let me know if you like any of these, or if we should refocus on a specific area.

* Rates are dynamic and may change daily – contact me soon to secure your room.
