W

hile destinations like Mallorca and Ibiza draw visitors seeking sun and nightlife, there are dozens of lesser-known Spanish islands that provide a more tranquil beach escape. From the rugged shores of Galicia to the crystalline waters of the Canary Islands, these hidden gems offer the opportunity to unwind away from the crowds. Here are some of Spain’s best-kept island secrets.

Isla de Ons, Galicia: A Haven of Natural Beauty Nestled within the Rias Baixas of Galicia, Isla de Ons emerges as a haven of unspoiled natural beauty. A natural paradise at the entrance to the Pontevedra estuary, the island is part of the Maritime-Terrestrial National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia. This archipelago is made up of the main island, Ons, together with the islands of Onza or Onceta and other smaller islets. Despite its proximity to the mainland, the island remains relatively undiscovered, making it an ideal retreat.

Accessible by ferry from Bueu, Portonovo or Sanxenxo, Isla de Ons enchants visitors with its rugged coastline, pristine beaches and lush greenery. Despite fewer than 100 people living on the island, there are nine villages, each made up of a small cluster of homes, such as the far-flung village of Melide, with only three houses.

Located next to the ferry port, Barrio de Curro is the closest thing to an urban centre on the island. Here, there are places to eat, accommodation, shops and a church.

The closest stretch of sand is Dornas Beach, comprising coarse sand, rocky forms and turquoise water.

From sea caves, such as Buraco do Inferno, to coastal viewpoints, such as Mirador de Fedorentos, which features an imposing natural balcony overlooking Fedorentos Cove and the islet of Onza, there’s much to explore on

the island. The lighthouse is also a drawcard. Dating from 1926, it sits at the highest altitude of the island and was one of the last lighthouses in the area inhabited by lighthouse keepers.

Islas Medes, Catalonia: A Diver’s Paradise Situated off the coast of Catalonia, the Islas Medes archipelago offers a sanctuary for underwater enthusiasts seeking to explore the rich marine ecosystems of the Mediterranean. Comprising seven small islands and islets, this protected marine reserve boasts crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs and an abundance of marine life, making it a paradise for divers and snorkellers.

The islands have around 14 dive sites, including El Dofí and La Vaca. El Dofí is a series of underwater tunnels with a small dolphin statue, which gives the site its name. La Vaca is another underwater tunnel on the largest island, known for its dramatic lighting.

Access to the Islas Medes is restricted to preserve the delicate ecosystem, with boat tours and diving excursions departing from the nearby town of L’Estartit.

If you’re feeling fit, you can kayak across to the island, or make your way over by paddleboard.

The Medes Islands were once a pirates’ paradise, but they weren’t the only ones to stay on the islands. In the 15th century, the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre built a fortification on the biggest island and stayed there for several decades. The last human inhabitants abandoned the archipelago in 1934, and no one has lived there since.

Only one building remains – the 1868 lighthouse on Meda Gran, the biggest island. This, like the rest of the islands, can be observed from the water only – no one is permitted to land. ➤➤

La Graciosa, Canary Islands: Serenity in the Archipelago Tucked away in the northern reaches of the Canary Islands, La Graciosa is a volcanic island in the Canary Islands, located two kilometres north of Lanzarote across the Strait of El Río. With its sandy beaches, turquoise waters and laid-back atmosphere, this remote island offers a peaceful, somewhat rustic retreat.

The only two settlements on the island are Caleta de Sebo in the southeast and summer-residence Casas de Pedro Barba; the rest of the island is owned by the Government of Spain and is administered by the National Parks Autonomous Agency. The accommodation is concentrated in Caleta de Sebo, and includes guest houses, self-catering houses for longer stays, apartments, and a campsite with showers and bathrooms.

Accessible by a regular ferry service from the town of Órzola on Lanzarote, Caleta de Sebo is the entry port for visitors, where whitewashed houses line narrow streets and local restaurants serve fresh seafood caught from the surrounding waters. It is also home to the Chinijo Museum, which claims to be the smallest museum in the world; it hosts an informative exhibition on the history of La Graciosa and the Chinijo Archipelago.

Getting around is generally on foot or bicycle – streets and roads on La Graciosa are unpaved sand, and motor vehicles are limited to a few 4x4 taxis that can be arranged to take you wherever you want on the island and then pick you up. The island has four main hiking trails that lead to gorgeous beaches and impressive volcanic mountains.

Alternatively, there are jeep tours on offer that visit some of the top natural attractions and beaches, boat tours that circle the island, and bikes are available for rent from several establishments in Caleta de Sebo - and the terrain is mostly flat. There are three mountain biking routes that run across the island.

Scuba diving is also a popular pastime here – La Graciosa is part of the Natural Park of the Chinijo Archipelago, Europe’s largest marine reserve, and home to several protected species. The island has several dive sites suitable for all levels and a scuba diving centre for equipment rental and guided diving.

Formentera: The Jewel of the Balearics Nestled between Ibiza and the mainland, Formentera beckons with its idyllic beaches, turquoise waters and bohemian charm. This is the smallest of the Balearic islands and is regularly cited as the prettiest. Often overshadowed by its more famous neighbour, the laidback island is far from a secret – there are up to 88 ferry sailings per day from Ibiza, with crossing times ranging from 25 minutes to one hour – but it offers a tranquil escape from the party vibe of Ibiza.

Above, top to bottom: La Graciosa, Formentera

International travellers first discovered the island during the hippy movement of the 1960s and 1970s, drawn to its relaxed air and the purity of its landscapes. The island still maintains a bohemian ambience, apparent in the markets dotted throughout its villages, annual ‘flowerpower’ parties and a languid pace of life.

Throughout its history, Formentera has been the subject of legends, written in novels by writers such as Jules Verne, and in songs by musicians as varied as Gilberto Gil and Pink Floyd. It continues to enchant visitors with its pristine coastline, dotted with secluded coves and sandy beaches. Playa de Ses Illetes and Playa de Migjorn are among the island’s most renowned stretches of sand, where crystalline waters offer a clear invitation to swimmers and snorkellers.

Away from the beaches, Formentera reveals a landscape of rolling hills, pine forests and salt flats, perfect for exploration by bike or on foot. The island’s villages, such as Sant Francesc Xavier and Es Pujols, exude a relaxed vibe, with whitewashed buildings, lively cafes, and artisanal shops showcasing local crafts. n

xclusivity is like having that one and only key to a treasure chest – only in this case, rather than a treasure chest, it’s a golf club. And the golf club in question is The Dutch. The Dutch was conceived back in 1996, when four friends and golf professionals who lived in the Netherlands sat in front of a warm fire at Loch Lomond and formed a golf company called Made in Scotland. The aspiration was to improve the game they love in the Netherlands and they dreamed of creating a world-class golf experience that would compete with the top golf courses in Continental Europe.

That dream took some time to come to fruition but, in 2011, The Dutch officially opened. Made in Scotland worked with Colin Montgomerie and Ross McMurray of European Golf Design to create a course that would live up to the high standards necessary to host European Tour events. They took a site characterised by flat farmland and created interest with water – several lakes, streams and canals – and sensible shaping. The Dutch is every inch the Tour venue.

Styled in the fashion of an inland links, The Dutch features links-like bunkering, undulating green complexes and diverse, burn-like water hazards. According to Phil Helsby, Managing Director of The Dutch, it is a “championshipstandard course with wonderful risk and reward holes, fast, undulating greens, year-round top condition and a great challenge to players of all standards”.

Soon after opening, the Netherlands put forward a bid to host the 2018 Ryder Cup. France won that bid, but the infrastructure and facilities developed at The Dutch

remained as a lasting legacy and are pitched at a level capable of all the demands required to host any large-scale professional golf event.

visit the driving range to warm up, with the balls placed in pyramids for you to practise from a mat or from the grass tee before entering the course for 18 holes.

Beyond golfing events, however, The Dutch represents a different kind of golf experience to anything that previously existed in the Netherlands. The level of service and the quality of facilities, from the Academy to practice areas to the locker rooms, are second to none. Within the clubhouse, there are multifunctional meeting rooms, dining facilities, there’s a large terrace, and outstanding locker/changing rooms with a bar, sauna and locker room attendant.

“During your round, you are looked after by the catering car, halfway houses on each nine and, on finishing the round, your clubs are cleaned and returned to your car. A drink on the terrace or in the spijkbar can be followed by a sauna/ shower in the locker room with a nice drink and a snack before getting ready for dinner out on the terrace or in the restaurant. From simple brasserie dining to fine dining, the choice is yours. After dinner, visit the whisky and cigar room before departure, when you are handed your car keys by the golf operations attendant and wished a nice journey home.”

Along the course, there are two halfway houses and there’s a starters’ café at the driving range, valet parking and a maingate attendant who meets all guests on arrival. Helsby says, however, that possibly the most important difference is the involvement of golf professionals in the day-to-day running of the club. There are no less than ten PGA Professionals involved daily at The Dutch.

Helsby outlines what to expect from a typical round of golf at The Dutch. “On arrival, you are met by the main-gate attendant and welcomed to The Dutch. The next stop is valet parking, after which your clubs are prepared for play and placed on a trolley or buggy and you are shown the way into the clubhouse, where you will be welcomed by our hospitality team and led down to the locker room. Here, the locker room attendant takes over, offering a cup of coffee or tea and showing you the locker that has been reserved for you with your brass name tag already in place. Then, you’ll

Beyond the facilities and the golf pro involvement, there’s another aspect that draws interest – the air of exclusivity that surrounds the club. The Made in Scotland team already had a business network of avid golfers and The Dutch became their home, with the business network dubbed ‘The Clan’. The club quickly became a place where business meets golf, where companies indulge clients and build relationships that last beyond the tees.

The Dutch is a very private club – for a non-member to get a game, they need to know a member or have a corporate contact. According to Helsby, “Year in year out, many members say their guests are standing in line, waiting for their next invitation.” That’s the power of exclusivity – along with a superb golf course and a plethora of unrivalled amenities. That’s The Dutch. n

he South African town of Franschhoek is nestled in a scenic valley around an hour from Cape Town in the heart of South Africa’s wine country.

When the Huguenots first settled there over 300 years ago, they brought their traditions and knowledge in winemaking and viticulture from their native France. The French influence is still apparent, with many streets and businesses given French names.

It should come as no surprise, then, that Franschhoek is a destination of note for wine enthusiasts. In fact, the town is considered to be the country’s food and wine capital, with eight of the top 100 restaurants in the country, nearly 30 wine cellars, and over 28 restaurants to choose from for a gastronomic indulgence.

Here, amidst the rolling vineyards and serene olive groves, stands a testament to refined living: a property encompassing a magnificent six-bedroom Main House and a luxurious two-bedroom villa, sitting on a 2-hectare smallholding in Green Valley. The rural setting is tranquil, yet it is just a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Franschhoek.

On arrival at the property, visitors are greeted by the Main House’s imposing façade, where oversized entrance doors beckon with an air of grandeur. Stepping into the doublevolume wood-beamed hallway, there is a sense of majesty that flows seamlessly into the expansive living spaces.

A formal lounge sets the stage for elegant gatherings, while the adjacent dining room offers the perfect place for an intimate dinner party with panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards. ➤➤

The heart of the home lies within its gourmet kitchen, a haven for culinary enthusiasts, equipped with state-ofthe-art appliances and ample space for culinary creations.

The casual family/TV room, complete with a crackling fireplace, invites relaxation and moments of respite for all residents.

For connoisseurs of fine wine, and those who can’t resist purchasing from the surrounding plethora of vineyards, the spacious cellar features vaulted ceilings and rustic charm.

Adjacent is a large conservatory bathed in natural light that flows in through large arched windows. This offers an enchanting setting for leisurely afternoons, boasting metal-paned windows and an indoor barbecue and pizza oven. There is even a bar room incorporated into this stunning space.

Outside, a veritable oasis awaits amidst meticulously landscaped gardens enveloped by vineyards and olive groves. There is a large lap pool, an all-weather, flood-lit tennis court and garaging for seven cars.

Nestled discreetly apart from the Main House is the villa — a recently built and beautifully designed two-bedroom sanctuary. Boasting panoramic views across the vineyards to the majestic mountains beyond, the villa offers a separate living space for guests or extended family.

URBAN RETREAT

estled along the lush shores of Lake Koggala in southern Sri Lanka, Tri Lanka has recently undergone a remarkable refurbishment, seamlessly fusing contemporary design with ecoconscious principles.

Tri’s visionary British owner, Robert Drummond, discovered the southern Sri Lankan site over two decades ago and enlisted award-winning architect Raefer Wallis of A00 Architects to create a hotel guided by its surroundings and fortified by an allencompassing sustainable philosophy. The result is a masterpiece of forward-thinking flair, where mathematical marries artistic, and intelligence embraces emotion.

Living walls, green roofs, solar arrays, edible gardens and entirely local materials unify accommodations and landscape. Sequential spaces emanate from a central water tower, an elliptical, cinnamon-clad edifice with a dramatic 360° viewing deck that captures spectacular panoramic views. Creative land- and lake-based experiences, from cycling to cookery, stimulate body, mind and soul, proudly showcasing Sri Lanka’s finest ingredients, materials, services and facilities.

Lake Koggala is Sri Lanka’s largest natural lake, and the refurbishment includes a stunning new pavilion for sunset cocktails overlooking this vista. Tri Lanka has also created four additional lakeside rooms, each elegantly appointed with a private balcony to take advantage of the pristine views and indigenous bird life of this spectacular 6-acre site.

INTERIOR DESIGN SCENE

ardens offer the perfect backdrop for relaxation, entertaining and enjoying the beauty of being outdoors. Whether you have a spacious patio, a cosy balcony or a lush green area, styling your outdoor space can elevate its ambiance and turn it into a welcoming oasis.

Colour It’s easy to brighten up a space with seasonal bedding plants, which can be bought from a local garden centre.

Choose a colour scheme to suit your preferences and perhaps follow through with the colours you use indoors for a sense of continuity, which can be very calming.

Strategically placing pots near doors and window sills adds a homely touch and makes your garden feel inviting.

Create Ambiance with Lighting Set the mood in your outdoor space with strategic lighting. Incorporate a mix of overhead lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting to illuminate pathways, highlight architectural features and create an inviting atmosphere after dark. Use lighting selectively and remember that darkness also creates a great effect. For example, adding uplights on trees creates a focal point and looks beautiful at night. Think about how the front of your house looks in the dark, too, and consider adding lighting to the driveway to create a welcoming approach.

Outdoor lighting options include string lights, lanterns, and solar-powered fixtures for an eco-friendly and enchanting glow.

Seating When the sun is out, there is nothing better than soaking up some rays. When planning your seating and outdoor living space, consider where the sun hits so you can make the most of the light and warmth, depending on the time of day you will most likely be sitting outside. There is a fantastic selection of seating options on the market and many high street stores now offer stylish and affordable options. Outdoor corner sets are great for families who need a lot of space and can be livened up with bright cushions and throws. Parasols are also a great way to inject a pop of colour without going overboard.

Sectioning Bamboo screens and trellises are a wonderful way to create interesting sections in your garden, designating them for different purposes. A firepit zone is attractive, particularly on cooler evenings. Surround the firepit with comfortable seating, adding faux sheepskins, blankets and cushions. Tall plants and ornamental grasses can work well with an outdoor rug and a bistro set if you are planning to create a secret hideaway.

Sound Water features not only make a great statement in a garden but, also, the tinkle of running water adds tranquillity when unwinding after a busy day. If you are a music lover or regularly host parties outdoors, there are many sound systems that work on Bluetooth or battery power. Hiding speakers in foliage and piping soft music through the garden can elevate the experience of wandering outside with a glass of bubbly in the evening.

Personalise with Accessories Put the finishing touches on your outdoor space with thoughtfully chosen accessories that reflect your personal style. Add outdoor-friendly rugs, decorative lanterns, artwork or outdoor-friendly textiles to reflect your personality. Don’t forget to include functional accessories, such as umbrellas, outdoor heaters, and storage solutions for items that are not constantly in use, to enhance comfort and convenience. n

Here, you will be able to treat your soul with the scent of green and the depth of blue created by a 180m2 green garden with water running through it. You’ll feel sheltered from the bustling city on a rooftop covered with vegetation, which, along with the green patio, allows its users to sharpen their senses while maintaining the comfort of cosmopolitan life.

With the 27 units available (26 apartments and one shop) you’ll find just what you need, exclusively for yourself. Two residential buildings in the antique and growing area of Lisbon’s heart. The Aura of the Patio will take you out of city rush and brings the tranquillity to you. Avenida da Liberdade, only a few metres from Aura, is a fine example of this. We’re side by side with an ancient culture but also close to luxury commerce such as Prada, Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and others, or luxury grocery stores such as Delidelux. The whole area surrounding Aura is rich in local commerce but it also has a global touch that tells you that you can find anything you want here, especially happiness.

Northbound you’ll find one of the city’s busiest arteries and business centres: Marquês Pombal roundabout.

Southbound, towards the river, you will find one of the most picturesque hotspots of the city: Rossio and its emblematic theatres and churches. There, you’ll find the classy cafés in Lisbon’s downtown or beauty of an ancient church and its unique architecture.

L

inna Golf has successfully completed the purchase of a 9 hectare site in the centre of the golf course and is in the process of obtaining residential zoning in collaboration with Hämeenlinna City Council planning authorities. This is a very exciting time for the golf venue as it launches this new development and extends its real estate offering to the Finnish market and internationally.

The zoned area predominantly opens towards the southwest and west where there will be 30-40 houses constructed in a style described as‘Modern Finnish Wooden Architecture’. The average size of the houses will be 150m2 approximately with ecological ground heating supported by roof solar panels to ensure the properties are energy efficient and will have close to zero operating costs. Hämeenlinna City Council is very supportive of the project and the planning process is progressing swiftly with approval expected in the second half of 2024.

‘Real estate development plays such a crucial role in financing entire areas on many golf courses worldwide.

Interaction between the course and the houses is considered when building the course’. confirms CEO Esa Honkalehto. The zoned area at Linna is surrounded by five golf holes, all of which are positioned to the left of the direction of play which is good for safely.

Ahead of the launch of the latest real estate, the golf club continues to promote the remaining apartments which are for sale within the upper floors of the clubhouse. Built with efficiency in mind, these properties are at the heart of the club, offer high rental returns for any investor and are fully serviced by the on-site services team.
