Summer is my favourite season of the year – I am a beach bunny, albeit covered in SPF 30 from head to toe. But olive skin does have its advantages. I keep getting asked for ideas of where to go by readers and friends, so I thought I would make everyone’s life easier by preparing a selection. Here are 5 luxury hotels perfect for Summer.

 

Finca Cortesin, near Estepona, Spain

10 beach hotels to try this summer finca cortesin.jpg

I first visited Finca Cortesin in 2012 and it was love at first sight. So much so, that I have been going back religiously each year. I love its simplicity yet incredible attention to detail. Each room is different and beautifully decorated – and its toiletries may be worth stealing too. But what I love the most is the food – how besides all the fine dining options, chef Lutz and co. are not afraid to give us the best of Spain on a plate.

Nearest Airports: Malaga (AGP) or Gibraltar (GIB) with British Airways.

Cost per night: from 750 Euros in high season

 

Pine Cliffs Hotel & Resort, Algarve, Portugal

10 beach hotels to try this summer pine cliffs resort algarve

When I return this Summer to the Pine Cliffs Hotel, in the Algarve, it will be my 12th or 15th visit. Why? Because I love it. And I love it even more now that it has been completely renovated. You can see some of the new rooms here. This Summer, I am booked into the brand new Ocean Suites and looking forward to my sunset gins.

Nearest Airports: Faro (FAO) or Lisbon (LIS) which is a 2h30 drive with British Airways.

Cost per night: from 500 Euros in high season

 

Blue Palace, Crete, Greece

A pretty special hotel for the O’Reillys – it is, after all, where Mr. O asked me to become Mrs. O many years ago. We returned last Summer to make some new memories and it was as fabulous as we remembered. My favourite part? The in-room infinity pools and the beach-side taverna.

Nearest Airports: Heraklion (HER) with British Airways.

Cost per night: from 450 Euros in high season

 

Mandapa Reserve by Ritz Carlton, Ubud, Bali

The Mandapa Reserve by Ritz Carlton, just outside Ubud, in Bali was, without a doubt one of the nicest surprises I have had this year. Despite the distance from home, it is a hotel we will absolutely return to. Bali was the wildcard in my Spring travels this year, and I have to tell you: one week is absolutely not enough. This hotel was nothing short of perfect – the rooms were stunning and do not even get me started on the food. Perfection.

Nearest Airports: Denpasar via Doha with Qatar Airways.

Cost per night: from 500 USD in high season

 

Nizuc Resort & Spa, Punta Nizuc, Mexico

10 beach hotels to try this summer nizuc cancun mexico

Although I visited this hotel during our European Winter, for a bit of off season sun, I have found myself daydreaming about being back countless times. Probably one of the best designed hotels I have ever been to – with the service to match. Punta Nizuc is not far from Cancun, but you really are a world away. Best thing: mango margaritas and a new found love for proper tequila.

Nearest Airports: Cancun direct with British Airways or via Miami with American Airlines.

Cost per night: from 500 USD in high season

 

True to my word, I am literally back from Finca and heading shortly to Pine Cliffs. I am a creature of habit… what can I say? What are your favourite Summer hotels? Anywhere in the world.

I missed seeing water so so much. And today we had our first hint of a beautiful spring day. Absolutely glorious.
Which Mille crepe flavour? Vanilla or chocolate? Have you tried them? Divine 🥰
One of my favourite meals in the world which takes me right back to #Portugal.
A very brief in and out of #Marylebone (for a medical appointment)- but lovely as always. It’s just all so odd - feels like a Sunday with shops closed. Traffic is not so quiet anymore - but I can’t wait for things and #London to return to what we knew and loved.

Fair to say it was a very cold but a gorgeous day in #London today, as witnessed by @champagne_and_travel on her ‘government approved daily walk’. And oh so quiet. Who else misses London? #lovelondon
My friend @anitapatrickson sent me this photo taken yesterday at De hoop nature reserve in the Western Cape, in South Africa. Absolutely stunning. I miss the beach so much. And the sound of the waves. You?
