It’s lavish, it’s romantic and it’s certainly unusual. Whilst you’re in Edinburgh be sure to head by the dungeons for a frighteningly fun experience, the National Museum of Scotland to learn more about the history of the city and sign up for a spooky ghost tour too.

Hotel Paradiso, Ibiza
If you’re looking for a vibrant, real-life version of Barbie’s house then you’re in luck. Hotel Paradiso opened its doors in summer 2018 and has since rocketed to Instagram fame thanks to its art-deco, pink interiors. Expect to find groups of influencers getting their best selfie by the pool. You might be mistaken for thinking this hotel is somewhere in the middle of Miami, but it’s actually situated next to Ibiza’s main party strip San Antonio. Ibiza knows how to party, but there’s so much more to this beautiful island than fish bowls and David Guetta. Head to Santa Eulalia for a stroll along the beach and relaxing lunch or visit the hippy market for handmade clothing, homeware and jewellery.
