Relaxing beach break just for me?

I'm looking to go away in June for 4 nights to somewhere warm, beach location, beautiful nature and most of all relaxing. But I'm overwhelmed by the options! Budget is about £500 and flying from Stansted. I like the idea of Ibiza (the quiet bits) and Greece but has anyone done similar and have any recommendations?

Has anyone else escaped the kids and done this? Grin

I'm getting cold feet now... I like the idea of Ibiza as I love a bit of music and dancing but I last went there 20 years ago and I'm worried I'd feel a bit old and lonely? Sad and there's too much choice!

Maybe I'll leave it and book something last minute so I've got less choice? Is last minute a cost effective way of doing things anymore?

Actually, having just watched the programme on climate change, I think I'll give flying a miss and figure out a way to recharge in this country Shock

Any ideas?

You should go. Portugal Ibiza Barcelona Lisbon all on my list. I’m
Thinking of doing a solo to Costa Rica in December.

U.K. will be cold and miserable and full of brits that don’t talk to singletons

Good for you OP.
(Both for not flying and going to beach solo; I love taking holidays on my own).
Have a great time.
