Just that really. One of my best friends from school and I are hoping to snag a few days away (maybe 5) at the end of July. I work full time and have kids and never sit down. She works really hard and has had a tough year. We want to go somewhere lush! Not as in “jungly”. As in just lovely. Could be anywhere but likely Europe because we don’t want to spend half the time flying. Could be an interesting destination. Could be somewhere you would recommend to put your feet up. We want to avoid the school summer holiday crowd (in terms of hotels). Somewhere nice to read a book. Good food and cocktails. Lovely views. We’re not clubbers. I’ve not been away with a girlfriend since I had kids (eldest is nearly a teen) so this is a real treat and I would like to do something relaxing interesting and worth peeling myself away from family life (although to be honest a wet weekend in a tent would be welcome just at the moment!).
If you have any specific hotel recommendations that would be amazing! We’ve mulled over Ibiza, Greek islands (but I don’t know which one) etc and would love advice about those, but I’m also wondering whether there are some great options I haven’t even thought of!
