Luxury Holidays to Spain are a wide ranging collection of holidays that come highly recommended by our travel consultants. The Canaries include Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura whilst the Balearic Islands compromise of Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza. The Spanish islands are highly desirable for their unique charm and glorious weather. Resorts on mainland Spain are just as luxurious and often overlooked because they offer a shorter flight time; they include Costa Dorada, Costa Blanca, Costa Brava, the Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz.
Best Time to Visit
Mainland Spain is typically suited to a summer months holiday as this is when the best of the weather is. This covers the months from May to September and you can expect temperatures in the mid to late 20°Cs. The case is similar for the Balearic Islands as they are located just off the coast of Spain. However, the Canary Islands are regarded as a suitable year round destination as they are considerably warmer in the winter months that mainland Spain. Their location in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa provides them with a warmer climate for most of the year. The hottest months are the summer months, but temperatures are still in the 20°Cs during the winter months.
