Undecided on what to get for mum this Sunday?
Yes we know that Spanish Mother’s Day isn’t until the 2nd May, however the expat mums get the pleasure of celebrating it twice a year, which is a bonus if your offspring live with you on the island.
We know that many of you haven’t been able to visit family during these difficult times, which is why we’ve decided to put some extra special ideas on our list this year, as we’re sure that mum deserves the world right now.

There’s been a lot of misinformation, speculation and sadly, quite damaging false reports as of late, about what Ibiza is like post-lockdown.
We thought we’d put the rumours to bed, and let everyone know what Ibiza is REALLY like this summer season. Continue reading “Ibiza 2020, what it’s really like this year.”
If you’re an Insta fan and follow all things ‘Ibiza’ related then you’ll have probably heard of Sol House already.
Renovated in 2016, the fresh and modern venue is part of the Meliá Group, boasts two swimming pools and some of the best views over San Antonio.
Located in Cala de Bou (The Bay Of San An), the airy rooms and suites offer chilled-out breaks for adults in search of fun, sun and good music.
Their famous Rooftop Nine pool bar provides the backdrop to some of the islands most idyllic sunsets, along with DJ’s playing day and night throughout the summer months.
As you enter their reception area you’re greeted by a large white Rhino sculpture amongst various other artists contributions, which really make the hotel stand out from others in the area. It’s fun, light and very, very welcoming.
The hotel is situated along the beach-front where you’ll find a range of fun water sports, boats to other parts of the island and the water taxi which takes you over to San Antonio in around 5 minutes.
The rooftop pool is perfect for catching those Balearic rays over a few cocktails! The somewhat iconic infinity pool has been the staple of many Instagrammers photo posts over the last two years too. With a Cocktail in hand, the perfect bikini and the views towards the mountains, it’s hard not to bag yourself a new profile picture to make everyone at home green with envy.
If you’re into your fitness then Sol House also has a gym to keep your well earned holiday-bod up to date.
If you’re skipping the workouts and going straight for holiday mode then you’ll be spoilt for choice in one of their three spacious dining areas. You can enjoy lunch around the ground floor pool area with friends at ‘Play Bar’, Taco’s and Tequila at their ‘Canalla’ bar in the lobby or their ‘Food Factory’ buffet restaurant. They also have BBQ’s days on the rooftop! Make sure you stay tuned to their social media for updates in the summer regarding the BBQ days.
Tuck in and enjoy!
Sol House has absolutely everything you’re looking for from a fun-filled holiday to The White Isle, and 2019 is set to be even better!
