From Edinburgh to Ibiza, there are many destinations to choose from for a luxurious spring holiday. Speckled across Europe, many luxury hotels are reopening their doors for the new spring and summer tourist seasons. The hotels are located both in the centre and away from cities, but all offer quiet and relaxing environments. The hotels offer many services, including uniquely ornate spas, on-site Michelin-starred restaurants, and even planned activities for those who want to explore beyond the hotels.
Here is a wrap-up of six exciting hotels that have so much to offer, so read along to find your next dream holiday.
THE ISLAND ESCAPE:
Patmos Aktis, Greece
Reopening on 22 May, Patmos Aktis, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa brings fresh focus to one of Greece’s most quietly compelling islands. With no airport and tightly controlled development, the island has long attracted a low-key creative crowd drawn to its spiritual heritage, slower pace and UNESCO‑listed hilltop town of Chora. Set on the sheltered shores of Grikos Bay, the island’s only five‑star beachfront resort has been completely reworked for the season, introducing 33 new beachfront and private‑pool suites, alongside pared‑back interiors inspired by the Aegean landscape. A new dining concept from Athens and a wellness programme rooted in Blue Zone principles encourage guests to look beyond the beach, with experiences ranging from boat trips to hidden coves to vineyard tastings and guided walks through Chora. It’s a considered, grown‑up take on a Greek island escape, and all the more appealing for it.

THE ROOFTOP:
W Edinburgh – W Deck, Scotland
Just in time for summer, W Edinburgh is opening W Deck on 1 April, its panoramic rooftop terrace overlooking the city’s historic skyline. Perched above the St James Quarter, the open‑air space brings together 360 degree views across Edinburgh’s Old Town and beyond with a polished social energy that feels distinctly W. Expect cocktails designed for long, lingering evenings, live music sessions from sunset to after dark, and a crowd that blends hotel guests with in‑the‑know locals. With the city’s festival season approaching, W Deck is set to become one of Edinburgh’s most coveted vantage points, a place to take in the capital from above, martini in hand.
Visit: https://www.marriott.com/en-gb/hotels/ediwh-w-edinburgh/overview. Stays start from £311 per night, based on two people sharing a standard double room.
THE WELLNESS SPOT:
The Edinburgh Grand Spa, Scotland
The Edinburgh Grand, a Luxury Collection Hotel has unveiled its new Spa at The Edinburgh Grand, transforming the former Bank of Scotland vaults beneath St Andrew Square into a calm, design‑led wellness retreat. Conceived as a refined dry spa, the space focuses on precision‑led facials and advanced body therapies rather than traditional wet facilities, catering to modern travellers seeking visible results in a time‑efficient setting. The spa features three private treatment suites, with a menu developed in partnership with Spanish skincare brand Skeyndor, known for its science‑led, clinic‑grade approach. Original architectural elements have been carefully preserved, layered with oak‑lined walls, limestone finishes and Calacatta Viola stone to create a serene yet contemporary atmosphere. Open to both hotel guests and locals, the spa adds a compelling new dimension to one of Edinburgh’s most elegant New Town addresses.

THE IBIZA RETREAT
W Ibiza
W Ibiza reopens for the summer season on 30 April, returning to Santa Eulalia with a refreshed look and feel across its key social spaces. New for the season is the renovated WET Deck, positioned as the hotel’s daytime focal point, alongside the launch of Yellow Fish as a restaurant, with locally sourced grilled fish, vibrant Spanish tapas, and refreshing sangrias served in a setting designed for slow, sun-drenched moments. Above it all, Glow, the hotel’s rooftop, continues to offer panoramic views over the bay and mountains, paired with a sushi‑led menu and day‑to‑night energy. Guests can also unwind at AWAY Spa, balancing Ibiza’s high‑octane summer with a strong wellness offering. The result is a more polished, design‑led take on Ibiza, social and vibrant, but grounded in location, food and downtime.

THE ARTY HOTSPOT:
The St. Regis Venice, Italy
Occupying one of the most coveted stretches of the Grand Canal, The St. Regis Venice spans five restored Venetian palazzos and is long regarded as one of the city’s most elegant addresses. Timed to coincide with the Venice Biennale, the hotel is unveiling Komorebi, a new art collection curated specifically for its public spaces, transforming the ground floor into a living gallery shaped by light, water and reflection. Alongside its Arts Bar, Ginori Terrace and canal‑front setting, the St. Regis Venice offers Biennale visitors a refined base that feels embedded in the city’s art and design conversation — not simply adjacent to it. The creative thread runs beyond the walls, too, with art‑inspired cocktails at the Arts Bar to bespoke Murano glassware created with local artisans.

THE MEDITERRANEAN RESORT/SUITE-CATION:
The St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort, Spain
Set directly on the seafront at Punta Negra, just outside Palma, The St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort has long been one of the island’s most discreet luxury retreats. Arranged across terracotta‑hued buildings and surrounded by lush gardens, the resort’s 125 rooms and suites all feature private terraces, creating a spacious, residential feel that appeals to repeat guests and multigenerational travellers. A recent refresh of the resort’s most iconic suites introduces a lighter, more contemporary aesthetic, with natural materials, soft Mediterranean tones and expansive terraces designed to frame uninterrupted sea views. Home to Michelin‑starred Es Fum, multiple pools, a destination spa and the brand’s signature butler service, Mardavall continues to offer a calmer, more polished alternative to Mallorca’s busier hotel scene — elegant, unshowy and deeply rooted in place.
