The main swimming pool at Secrets Lanzarote Playa Dorada
Secrets Lanzarote Playa Dorada
Puerto Calero, Las Palmas, Spain
Close (but not too close) to the superyachts and glitzy restaurants of Puerto Calero Marina, this adult-only luxury resort on Lanzarote’s south coast has plenty of pizzazz. For starters, it’s on a volcanic slope that spills on to a black-sand beach and the boundless blue Atlantic (yes, the views are wild). Rooms and suites are modern, minimalist and balance bright breeziness with dark stone accents nodding to the island’s lava landscape, which can be taken in from the large terraces or balconies, or the hotel’s four outdoor pools. Peel yourself away for a decadent dinner at one of six restaurants, from Oceana’s fresh seafood splendour to Bluewater Grill specialising in melt-in-your-mouth grilled meats and Italian date-night star Portofino. Top tip: don’t miss the spa’s Volcanic Ritual, which uses local lava for a deep remineralising exfoliation.

The cosy lobby of The Crystal Lodge, Whistler Hotel
The Crystal Lodge, Whistler Hotel
Whistler, Canada
This boutique-style hotel aptly channels Whistler’s spirit of adventure. It’s steps from the snowy slopes of Whistler Blackcomb – North America’s largest ski resort with more than 35 lifts, 200-plus marked trails for all levels and five terrain parks packed with freestyle fun from rails to jumps. The lobby’s interactive art installation is an impressive narration of Whistler’s story, thanks to seven months of extensive research by Vancouver-based artist Desiree Patterson. Expect archival photographs (check out for Rainbow Lodge, a fishing resort born in 1914 that launched tourism here), and historic artifacts, including glacier goggles and an (enclosed) ice axe. Then there’s the hotel’s dedicated art gallery, which works with local talent to put on curated installations – imagine bold, nature-inspired paintings, sculptures and ceramics. Après-ski is also on point here: Beacon Pub & Eatery (one of three restaurants) has the best people-watching patio, the bar with karaoke nights is great fun and the in-house Starbucks is a lifesaver the morning after. Add a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, plus a hot rock sauna, and you’ve got Pacific Coast paradise.
British Airways Holidays offers up to 20 per cent off hotel stays of five days or longer (on selected room types) from 28 November 2025–19 April 2026. Blackout dates apply. Book by 1 December 2025.

Vilebrequin La Plage restaurant at Domes of Elounda. Opening image: one of the hotel’s five main pools
Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection
Crete, Greece
The question: where can you live like a king or queen from ancient Greece? The answer: at this five-star, all-suite and villa resort in northeastern Crete, which overlooks the turquoise waters of Elounda Gulf and Unesco-protected Spinalonga Island. Here, four serene, sun-kissed pools – including one just for adults and a heated one for families – cradle centuries-old olive groves and fragrant herb gardens. Just as immersed in nature are the grand suites and villas, which integrate traditional Cretan design (picture local stone and domed ceilings). And it gets even better: these sumptuous sleeping quarters offer everything from private pools to all-yours outdoor Jacuzzis and exclusive garden terraces. Venture out to travel back in time at the hotel’s open-air, ancient Greek-style agora, featuring pop-up shops, street food and art, and at the award-winning spa, where a massage ceremony inspired by King Minos steals the show. Keep the regal vibe going with Greek fine dining at Makris, one of five incredible restaurants.

The luxurious reception area at Cologne Marriott Hotel
Cologne Marriott Hotel
Cologne, Germany
Sitting on the western bank of the Rhone River, this hotel provides the perfect morning jogging (or strolling) route near where Hohenzollern Bridge famously holds thousands of ‘love locks.’ From its South Tower Terrace (rising almost 100m above the city), the Old Town appears like a magnificent cobblestone maze winding through colourful façades with gabled roofs, mediaeval churches such as St Martin. Meanwhile, the North Tower Terrace zooms in on Gothic Cologne Cathedral: spires meet you nearly at eye level, you can actually see the flying buttresses and the intricacies of gargoyles and saints come into focus. In short, the views and central location of this modern, luxurious hotel are reasons enough to check in. Feeling especially fancy? Upgrade to an executive room or suite for additional perks, or indulge in a spa treatment (the Energy Balance Ritual is bliss). Top off the evening with prime cuts of meat at Cast Iron Grill, and rare whiskeys and bourbons at Plüsch Bar & Lounge.
British Airways Holidays offers two nights from £259pp on selected dates from 1-31 January 2026 inclusive. Includes economy (Euro Traveller) return flights from London Heathrow Airport, one checked bag per person and accommodation. Book by 30 November 2025.

Outdoor relaxation area at Conrad Rabat Arzana
Conrad Rabat Arzana
Rabat, Morrocco
Conrad’s first luxury property in Morocco brings palm-flanked infinity pools overlooking the crashing Atlantic and calm lagoon, plus foodie euphoria and design inspired by Rabat’s rich culture and landscape. Set in the coastal town of Harhoura, the low-rise hotel is just a 20-minute drive from Rabat, which is well worth a visit for its Roman and mediaeval ruins, vibrant souk selling everything from spices to slippers, and 12th-century fortress, Kasbah of the Udayas. Get a sneak peek at the hotel, whose curated artworks include black and white photographs of Rabat’s heritage sites. Colour palettes here are inspired by the natural backdrop, from ocean blues to forest greens and earthy tones redolent of the desert, while luxurious touches include the marble-clad grand lobby, a two-storey spa and dreamy dining at one of four incredible restaurants. Creative dishes (think Japanese tacos) reign at 99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant, French-Moroccan fusion is redefined at La Brise Brasserie and the seafood at L’Oursin will spoil you for life. Unwind with a Moroccan tea in a peaceful garden setting at Feuillage Tea Lounge.
British Airways Holidays offers $100 food and beverage credit per room when booking a minimum of four nights from 1 December 2025–31 March 2026. Book by 30 November 2025.

The rooftop pool at Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter
Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter
San Diego, California, USA
Bringing a taste of island life to downtown San Diego is this sophisticated urban retreat. One of the first boutique hotels in San Diego’s East Village, it’s in the historic Gaslamp Quarter, famous for its lively dining, nightlife and entertainment. Other nearby attractions include Petco Park and the USS Midway Museum, which is named after the historic aircraft carrier it’s housed in and spotlights more than 30 restored aircraft, flight simulators and immersive exhibits. Take in panoramic city views from the hotel’s rooftop pool – the city’s largest – and grab a tropical cocktail from 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar. Embracing the hotel’s coastal vibes is essential: the large flip-flop sculpture in the lobby says so. So do the surf boards and framed Jimmy Buffett albums in the rooms, where playing ‘Margaritaville’ on repeat is encouraged. Hopping on board the California chill is LandShark Bar & Grill (you can’t go wrong with the tacos, coconut shrimp or Caribbean burger), and Margaritaville Coffee Shop – its speciality coffee and pastries are so good that even Jimmy Buffett might have swapped his tequila on the rocks for a java.
British Airways Holidays offers complimentary breakfast for two per day when booking a three-night stay or longer from 1 January–31 December 2026. Book by 31 November 2025. 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.
Funa restaurant and bar at Angsana Velavaru
Angsana Velavaru
Dhaalu Atoll, Maldives
Affectionately dubbed ‘turtle island’ in the local Dhivehi language, the resort’s clear-as-gin lagoon teeming with amber hawksbill turtles, silky eagle rays and colourful parrotfish is just the start of paradise perfection. On top of snorkelling on your doorstep, and the PADI Gold Palm five-star dive centre offering courses and excursions to 30 nearby dive sites, remote Angsana Velavaru also brings thrills such as catamaran sailing and cultural shows including Boduberu (a traditional Maldivian musical performance), and cinema under the stars every Sunday night. For some special alone time, drop off your little jet-setters at the kids’ club and treat yourself to a couple’s massage at the spa, followed by a (luxurious) Castaway adventure, starring dining on a private island with your own chef. The resort’s three restaurants also deserve praise, especially themed nights at beachfront Kaani. Our favourite? Maldivian night on Fridays, naturally. There’s just one catch: you can’t stay forever.
British Airways Holidays offers up to 25 per cent off and seaplane airport transfers on hotel stays from 1 February 2026–31 January 2027. Book 90 days before your stay.
