BA - The Club - A resort for all seasons with Marriott International

Spring in Monaco

Monaco brings year-round glamour, but there’s something about the light in the springtime that elevates it to another level. Le Méridien Beach Plaza hotel is serenity personified. Located just moments from the glitz of Monte Carlo, it’s the only resort with its own private beach, complete with jet skis and sailboats for exploring the Côte d’Azur on your doorstep. What’s more, all of the 397 rooms have a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows for uninterrupted views of the Med or Monaco’s iconic cityscape.
Club tip: Channel Grace Kelly with a glass of Champagne on the sea-facing terrace of Longitude 7° 26' Bar.

Summer in Mykonos

Summertime in Greece means sun-bathed days, balmy nights and endless islands to explore. To experience sophisticated Mykonos, check in to Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, Mykonos. Its 101 beach-chic guest rooms and suites, designed by interiors guru Silvina Macipe Krontiras, are enhanced by views of the azure Aegean. Spend your days at the resort’s infinity seawater pool, complete with private cabanas, and experience the island’s only traditional hammam at the Ginkgo Spa.
Club tip: The hottest seat in town is at Buddha-Bar Beach Mykonos, perched above Santa Marina’s private beach.

Autumn in Crete

Crete in the autumn is idyllic, with air and water temperatures rarely dropping below 20°. To experience its best, book a stay at Blue Palace, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Crete. All rooms open up to extended verandas, most with private pools, and all with views to the Aegean and Spinalonga island. In the evenings, enjoy fresh seafood at the Blue Door Taverna, or traditional Cretan fare at Anthos.
Club tip: The resort’s long private beach boasts round, white pebbles as smooth as eggs. And the water is so clear you can see the fish swimming beneath the surface.

Winter in Tenerife

Sunshine on your skin feels even better when it’s chilly back home, and Tenerife delivers the Vitamin D – and then some. Make the most of long, lazy days at The Ritz-Carlton Abama, the ultimate Canary Island retreat. Ocean-view accommodation, seven pools, a state-of-the-art fitness centre and fine dining venues, including the Michelin-starred Abama Kabuki, are just some of the reasons you’ll want to stay until the spring.
Club tip: Spoil yourself at the award-winning Ritz-Carlton Spa, which draws inspiration from the flora and fauna of the Canary Islands.

Spring in Mallorca

Spring is the ideal time to visit Mallorca, thanks to smaller crowds and its famed almond blossom. Immerse yourself in the island’s rich history at Castillo Hotel Son Vida, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Mallorca. Built in the 13th century, surrounded by subtropical lush gardens and incomparable views of the Bay of Palma, here guests can enjoy gourmet food at Restaurant Es Castell, laze by the large outdoor pool or play golf at one of four spectacular courses.
Club tip: The hotel’s staff is on call 24/7 to ensure every request is attended to and provide thoughtful extras such as fresh fruit and flowers.

Summer in Kalamata

Another Greek treasure is The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, Costa Navarino, in Kalamata on the Peloponnese peninsula. The award-winning property includes a spot on the Condé Nast Traveller Gold List 2020, and it’s not hard to see why, with its two world-class signature golf courses, multiple sports and outdoor activities, superb dining venues and vast Anazoe Spa & Thalassotherapy.
Club tip: There are 321 exceptional rooms, suites and villas – 128 with private pools. The ultimate is the Romanos Ionian Exclusive, which includes 24/7 butler service.

Autumn in Portugal

At this time of year, Portugal is warm but not too hot, meaning you can see and do more. And where better to explore than Pine Cliffs, a Luxury Collection Resort? The resort offers exceptional leisure and sports facilities for all, including The Annabel Croft Tennis Academy, family cooking classes and even family yoga at the health club. Want some adult time? Drop the children off at Porto Pirata, the biggest kids’ club in the region, which has two life-size pirate ships to play in.
Club tip: Eleven restaurants and lounges offer everything from fresh seafood by the beach to piri-piri steaks.

Winter in Cyprus

Cyprus has the warmest winters in Mediterranean Europe (22-23°), making it ideal for winter sun. Bliss out at Parklane, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Limassol. Kids will love Park Kidz, a vast all-day venue for playing, learning and making friends. For grown-ups, the Kalloni Spa has 14 treatment rooms, three spa suites and five thalassotherapy pools and steam rooms. In the evening, guests can choose from five restaurants and two bars.
