Holiday

Who thinks of Ibiza often thinks of beaches, coziness, and that relaxed atmosphere where you want to hang out for as long as possible. But did you know that you can sail to the island of Formentera from Ibiza in just under an hour? The island is known for its quiet beaches, clear water, and an atmosphere that is just a bit more laid-back than on Ibiza itself. Many people planning their vacation in Ibiza therefore put Formentera at the top of their list for a day trip. Want to know how to best arrange the crossing and what to pay attention to? On Ibiza vacation find...

The couples from Love Is Blind: Netherlands certainly had nothing to complain about the location during their honeymoon. Think of white sandy beaches, crystal clear sea water, tropical temperatures, and villas with their own pool. It doesn't get much more romantic than this. But while watching the episodes, I mainly wondered one thing: how much does such a dream stay actually cost? The resort where the lovebirds stayed is located in Zanzibar and is called Ycona Luxury Resort. And yes, for a few nights in this paradise, you really have to save up. In which resort are the couples from Love Is Blind: Netherlands staying? For the honeymoon phase of...

Italiamo is the site for every Italy lover. Even if you're not heading to Italy, they know how to bring the Italy feeling to you. Here you can read everything about the best pizzas, the undiscovered gems of Italy, but also about the best Italian ski resort in the world. We've said it before: for winter sports, you have to be in Italy. But well, we might be a bit biased. Fortunately, there is now independent confirmation: the international transport platform Omio has declared an Italian ski resort one of the best in the world. The price of a ski pass and other essentials Omio looked at no less than 6,000...

I have a beach house and often gaze over the North Sea, fantasizing about England. That seems so delightful to me: touring through South England in a little car. Last year I read (these are delightful books for the summer) The Salt Path, a true story about a couple who lose all their money and then decide to walk the salt path, and since then this part of England has been etched into my bucket list. When I ran into Mart Visser last week (these six things you can learn from Mart) - always fun - and he started raving about his...

Of course, Tuscany is nice. Beautiful. Even stunning. A living postcard with the most beautiful towns you drive to over rolling golden grain fields and past waving sunflowers. The downside that comes with the advantage: you are not alone. And that fact brings along a few other downsides. Prices are high, the waiters a bit less friendly, and with a bit of bad luck, you see more Dutch people than Italians. Therefore, here follows a sample of Puglia propaganda, my gem in the heel of the boot. I have chosen to spend most vacations here and for this reason. 1. Always a sea in the...

This summer, two million of us are heading to la douce France. Besides Italy and Greece, it remains our favorite holiday country. From Paris to Aix-en-Provence and Saint-Tropez and everything in between, we scour the entire country. The French are everything – stylish, well-read, charming, art-loving – but also quite eh critical. And I can know this because I have worked with them for years. So if you want to blend in a bit with the couleur locale, you should especially avoid making these mistakes. This is better not to do in France: flaunting labels The French don't like that. They do like luxury, but understated. That also explains...

If you, like me, are slightly obsessed with your dog, you will surely have a hard time leaving your dear four-legged friend at home. And precisely for this reason, I often choose to take my Maltipoo with me on trips. By that, I don't mean a ten-hour flight to Asia, but more of a short trip close to home. To make such a vacation as relaxed as possible for both you and your dog, you will need to make a number of preparations in advance. Don't know exactly what to think about? No worries, below...

Okay, I finally understand why Croatia is being called the new Ibiza. I only found this out a bit later. You heard some good stories here and there, but whether it would really surpass my old trusted holiday country Spain seemed unlikely to me. Still, I have to admit: Croatia is so underrated. Last summer, I flew to the southern city of Split with three friends and since then I recommend it to everyone. Whether you go with your family, your group of friends, or your partner; it is a place for all ages. So in a row: the things you must do...

Valencia is a lot; you can shop and eat fantastically there, but it is also the gem for families who want something more than just eating paella and lying on a beach bed. If you love the Spanish life – who doesn't? – Valencia should really appear on your radar. It's also wonderfully close: just under two hours flying. And that's just the beginning of a long list of unique selling points. Like cycling through the lush Jardín del Turia, where squirrels jump in orange trees. If you're going for that hearts record at...

If there is a country that is incredibly beautiful, fun, and friendly, it is Greece. Paros was named the most beautiful island in the world in 2025 (by Travel + Leisure) with a score of 96.5 out of 100. Paros is everything you expect and want from Greece, so: everywhere small white picturesque villages with blue accents. Paros actually has it all: a stunning landscape, the most beautiful beaches and rocky coasts, and the most romantic picturesque harbor towns. Mama Mia, here we come. Why Paros is the most beautiful island in the world So Paros is actually just everything you are looking for in a...
