Ibiza Springtime

Work has been full on these last few weeks, so I was more than ready for a break in the Spanish sunshine, even if it meant leaving for the airport at 4.15am!

After three days in Javea, I’m now in the Balearics, on the lovely island of Ibiza for a Spa & Wellbeing weekend. I took the afternoon ferry from Denia (a few miles from Javea), and arriving at the port joined a huge throng of passengers departing to Ibiza for an early Easter break. I seriously wondered if one ship could accommodate so many people, but of course it did and once aboard, there was a surprising amount of room.

Ibiza is looking fresh and green with wild spring flowers and blossom on the trees. We are staying at Cas Gasi, a charming hotel in the middle of the island and during our stay will be having yoga and pilates in the hotel’s exercise studio and also visiting some of Ibiza’s newest spas. Watch out for my account of the weekend on the website soon.

Spent last week in Kenya, visiting Ngerende Island Lodge, a luxurious new lodge in the remote wilderness of the Masai Mara national park. With just seven spacious tented cabins, the staff are able to give guests truly personalised service. There is also a delightful small spa, complete with plunge pool and two treatment beds overlooking the fast flowing Mara River.
