Paloma Sencia

Paloma Sencia is relaxing from the word go. Set right on the shoreline, it comes with its own private beach – and yes, that means creamy sand, rows of sunbeds and parasols, and plenty of space to settle in and switch off.

The coastline here is a real highlight, perfect for an early walk along the shore or a slow wander as the sun starts to dip. The pool scene is as laid-back as it is lovely, set within a palm-peppered terrace just steps from the sand. And if whizzing down a water slide is your speed, you'll love the complimentary access to Palomaqua water park at neighbouring Paloma Grida. They've even laid on a free shuttle bus to ferry you there and back, and thrown in free drinks at the aquapark's bar. 

If you fancy something on the more subdued end of the scale, meanwhile, look no further than the spa and wellness centre. With an authentic Turkish bath, a soul-soothing sauna, and a range of signature treatments, this could well be that proper dose of R&R you've been searching for.
