A reminder that a seemingly sequestered setting sits in such a plum position, breakfast at Oliva restaurant looks out over the charming port of Porto Petro. Small and mellow, this sleepy fishing village is a mere five minutes away on foot, offering an authentic antithesis to the resort’s sleek sophistication. Stay for dinner as an esteemed guest at Es Bergant, and sample traditional Mallorcan cuisine without spending a penny.

They say variety is the spice of life, and back at the resort it certainly rings true. The destination to find fun at your feet, get into the swing of things with a tennis rally out on the courts, or take the plunge into the glistening waters of the Mediterranean to test your watersporting skills. As evening draws near, expect all kinds of entertainment, from cosy nights in front of the silver screen to a weekly Wednesday white party.

To say Ikos are familiar with family fun would be an understatement; here is a place where parents can continue a luxury lifestyle alongside their toddlers, teens, and every phase in between.

Peruse menus mapped out by Michelin-starred chefs, for instance, while little ones are welcome to try their first taste of fine dining – only we can’t promise tiny tastebuds won’t prefer the Gelateria (open til 10pm, by the way).

Keeping travellers in training beavering away by day, the Kids Club and Creche offer ample room to let off steam, ahead of their moment in the spotlight at the evening’s Kid’s Karaoke. Teens too have a space saved just for them; arcade games and table tennis mean it’s game on.
