Treat the kids to a holiday they’ll never forget at Forte Village on Sardinia’s pristine southern coast, just on the edge of a 123-acre tropical garden. Settle into your bungalow, waterfront suite or roomy villa, then get stuck into endless family fun. The Children’s Wonderland has a town square with miniature houses, a circus and a water park, while Leisureland – more aimed at teens – features go-karts, a disco and tenpin bowling. Football-mad tykes will adore the chance to train with the likes of the Fundación Real Madrid Clinics coaches on special academy programmes, while nature-lovers can lose themselves in an interactive farm and aviary. Parents, meanwhile, can take their time at the thalassotherapy circuit spa, dine at over 20 restaurants and enjoy lively entertainment in the plaza.

Fancy a little bit of five-star wellness in an outstanding region of natural beauty? The Hotel Hubertus, home to an iconic glass-fronted ‘sky pool’ and one-of-a-kind suspended spa platform with panoramic whirlpools, serene relaxation zones and saunas, is certainly one for the bucket list. Tuck into five- and six-course South Tyrolean feasts, served with plenty of Italian finesse, in no fewer than eight dining rooms. Take in the views from your generously appointed room and enjoy daily activities like forest bathing, guided yoga and sunrise hikes in the unforgettable mountainous countryside.

Love hiking in the great outdoors? Here’s something that should be on your wish list: Hypershell X, an AI-powered exoskeleton custom built for real-world adventure. Lightweight, foldable and intelligently responsive, it reduces fatigue, offsets pack weight and subtly amplifies each step, whether you’re climbing, cycling, hiking or simply walking a bit further usual. With 800W of peak output and up to 10 adaptive modes, it adjusts in real time to your stride and terrain, learning how you move. Expect up to 10 miles of powered support per charge or pack a 400g spare battery for longer treks.

Craving a summer break that blends natural beauty with laid-back charm? West Wales Holiday Cottages has more than 500 hand-picked stays across Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire – from beachside hideaways to dog-friendly countryside retreats. Whether you’re drawn to lively seaside towns like Tenby and New Quay or craving the quiet magic of Barafundle Bay or Mwnt’s Blue Flag shores, there’s a cottage to suit. Marvel at dolphins from a cliffside viewing spot, hike the coast path or settle in for a spectacular sunset with the sand between your toes.

While elsewhere summer can feel crowded and hectic, the north of Tenerife offers a different rhythm: calm, powerful and refreshingly real. Set between the Atlantic Ocean and the untamed slopes of the Anaga mountains, the OCÉANO Health Spa Hotel is a peaceful retreat that gives you not just distance, but space to breathe. Here, summer is all about slowing down and reconnecting – with the sound of the sea, holistic wellness and a deep sense of presence. Enjoy thalassotherapy, yoga and personalised health programmes in a setting that is light, modern and rooted in nature. Thoughtfully prepared cuisine, local products, ocean-view rooms and the gentle salt breeze complete the experience.
