Canonnier Beachcomber Golf Resort and Spa sits on Grand Baie, Mauritius
Canonnier Beachcomber Golf Resort and Spa
Mauritius
Overlooking pearl-sand Grand Baie and recreated from a colonial-style family home, there are calm coves and pieces of history – including cannons and a fortress-turned lighthouse – to be found in equal measure here. Modern, elegant suites and apartments all have balconies or terraces offering views of the emerald sea, lagoon-style pools or tropical gardens, while interiors are done up in neutral, soothing tones, and celebrate local culture, from art by the late Florent Beusse to natural, handmade linen and rattan furniture. After a day of sunbathing (Mont Choisy’s creamy-sand beaches are also a short walk), snorkelling or observing oyster catchers, refuel at one of the three exceptional restaurants. Le Navigator is on point, with its superb seafood, view of the northern islands and dancing come evening, while intimate Italian La Serenata and the blissful buffet breakfast at Le Frangipanier are also memorable. Finally, the treehouse spa and its six massage cabins are set within the branches of a giant banyan tree (yes, it’s as magical as it sounds).
British Airways Holidays offers a 20 per cent hotel discount off a minimum of a five-night package from 1 March–31 October 2025. Book by 30 September 2025.

Junior suite at Only You Hotel Seville
Only You Hotel Seville
Spain
This stylish, five-star hotel is around the corner from Santa Justa train station, and just a 25-minute walk to Seville’s Old Town, where the world’s largest Gothic cathedral – built between 1402 to 1506 – dazzles. Interiors are designed by the renowned Lázaro Rosa-Violán, whose combination of Mediterranean design and Arab influence is both eclectic and elegant. The hotel has teamed up with local partners, too, so guests can further experience the city’s culture from the comfort of this Andalusian retreat – join a flower-arranging workshop with resident florist Verde Oliva, or, in the lobby, indulge in buttery croissants, perfectly puffed palmiers and immaculately layered mille-feuille from local pâtissier Manu Jara. Leave room for tapas and Iberian pork shoulder at Trotamundos restaurant, whose ingredients come from within 10km of the hotel – don’t worry, you can work it off at the swish outdoor pool or 24-hour gym.
British Airways Holidays offers two nights from £319pp on selected dates from 1-31 July 2025 inclusive. Includes economy (Euro Traveller) return flights from London Gatwick Airport, one checked bag per person and accommodation. Book by 31 March 2025.
The glittering playground of Las Vegas
MGM Resorts, Las Vegas
USA
In a city of boundless and indulgent entertainment, it only makes sense that luxury and gaming expert MGM Resorts offers not one hotel here, but 13. The MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, positioned perfectly at the southern end of The Strip, is a town in its own right, having everything from electronic table games to a swimming pool complex with waterfalls and Kà, a permanent resident production of Cirque du Soleil. Triple-Michelin-starred Joël Robuchon fits right in, as do the other remarkable restaurants, also run by celebrity chefs Masaharu Morimoto, Michael Mina and Tom Colicchio. Meanwhile, Park MGM is where you’ll find sophisticated Vegas amenities including a palm-dotted pool deck and boutique shopping galore. There may be nearly 3,000 rooms, but the French Art Deco-inspired interiors, gallery walls and pocket-sized spa make things feel plush but personal. Can’t decide between city living and the great outdoors? Bellagio has a luxurious pool area, exquisite fountains and its own botanical garden and conservatory. And that’s just the highlight reel.
British Airways Holidays offers up to 20 per cent hotel saving when booking a flight and hotel package at one of the 13 MGM Resorts in Las Vegas. Valid for stays from 1 June–5 September 2025. Book by 1 April 2025. Up to 20 per cent off at Luxor and Excalibur, and ten per cent off at other MGM Las Vegas hotels. The specified offer will appear in red text during the booking process, should it be applicable. Price shown on ba.com includes any applicable discount. Subject to availability. T&Cs apply.
Pool by the sea at Essence at the Fives Beach, Cancun
Essence at the Fives Beach, Cancun
Mexico
On the Yucatán peninsula, known for its Mayan ruins, powder-sand beaches and turquoise cenotes, all-inclusive Essence hits all the marks. Its tropical forest-fringed location has a mile of snowy-sand beach overlooking the Caribbean Sea, and the famous 18-hole El Camaleón Mayakoba golf course is just ten minutes away. But this dreamy resort makes it hard to leave. Choosing between a one-, two- or three-bedroom residence (opt for a private rooftop lounge deck) might be the easiest decision you’ll make. Then come the hard ones – at which of the eight pools (all have butlers) do you set up camp? Kids can also have their say of supervised fun, from art lessons to interactive cooking classes. But the toughest choice is where to dine, when the question has ten top-contending options. Our eyes and lips are on Mestizo, serving authentic local favourites, and the Tuscan dishes at adults-only Arezzo. Bonus points go to the pop-up food corners, delighting everyone with everything from pizza to burgers.
British Airways Holidays offers a free room upgrade from a deluxe to a one-bedroom residence. Guest must select one-bedroom residence when booking. The specified offer will appear in red text during the booking process, should it be applicable. For stays from 1 May–31 October 2025. Book by 31 March 2025. Subject to availability. T&Cs apply.
Pool at Domes Miramare, a Luxury Collection Resort, Corfu (also opening image)
Domes Miramare, a Luxury Collection Resort, Corfu
Greece
On Corfu’s eastern coast, this chic, adults-only hotel attracts couples and celebs alike. Once owned by the Onassis family, it has Jackie O’s seal of approval – and it’s not hard to see why… There are century-old olive trees and soaring palms, four pools (one is heated) and a 400m-long beach with sparkling, snorkel-perfect sea – make time to glide across on a glass-bottomed canoe. Michelin-starred Makris, the main restaurant, presents Greek farm-to-table dishes in beautiful, theatrical style, and the three bars include Raw Bar, mastering Asian fusion fare. Treat yourself further at the Soma spa, which has everything from a hammam to ice and fire facials. And for something truly spoiling, opt for the Haute Living hotel package (think access to VIP areas and farewell gifts). If you can pull yourself away from the serenity, the Unesco-listed Old Town is just a 25-minute drive, and the Achilleion Palace, built as a summer home in 1892 for Elizabeth, Empress of Austria, is 15 minutes away.

Radisson Blu Resort & Spa Golden Sands, Malta
Radisson Blu Resort & Spa Golden Sands
Mellieħa, Malta
There’s good reason why this family-friendly, five-star hotel earned the title of Malta’s Leading Resort at the Annual World Travel Awards just last year. Only 3km from the stunning, seaside village of Mellieħa – dating back to Neolithic times – it’s perched on a cliff that cascades down to one of Malta’s best beaches, Golden Bay. Bright, modern rooms (all equipped with balconies) offer serene sights of Malta’s limestone coastline, the hotel’s outdoor pools and glimmering sea – you may even spot hotel guests on a snorkelling adventure. Other must-try activities for adults and children include everything from hikes to yoga and pizza-making, and there’s no shortage of foodie decadence either – of the seven exceptional restaurants, Essence, serving Indian favourites in fine dining style, is a highlight. Make sure to carve out time for Myoka spa, which pampers with European, Indian and Chinese treatments.
British Airways Holidays offers a ten per cent hotel saving for stays in May, June, September and October 2025. Book by 31 March 2025.

Heated rooftop pool at Chelsea Hotel Toronto
Chelsea Hotel Toronto
Canada
Turning 50 this year, the Chelsea has a lot to celebrate. It’s a mile from Toronto’s picturesque harbour and a short drive to the famous CN Tower – see it from the sun terrace on Deck 27, the hotel’s hidden adults-only wellness area, which also includes an indoor heated pool and whirlpool, male and female saunas and a gym. Also on the 27th floor is the exclusive E-Club lounge, accessible only to Club room guests and serving complimentary breakfast and hors d’oeuvres come evening. But there are plenty of perks for younger jetsetters, too, such as the Family Fun Zone, Kids Centre, 33 Teen Lounge and, best of all, Toronto’s only indoor waterslide. The dining options are just as impressive, and include Bangkok Garden, the city’s first Thai restaurant. If that’s not enough, the Chelsea has gained a reputation as the friendliest hotel in Toronto (and this is cheery Canada).
British Airways Holidays offers a ten per cent hotel saving when booking a flight and hotel package. Valid for stays from 1 May–31 October 2025 (excludes 27-29 June and 1-2, and 7-9 August).
