WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY
LAIDBACK LIFE IN IBIZA
NEW boutique hotel brand OKU is set to launch its second property in May, bringing its ethos of laid-back slow living to Ibiza’s southwest coast.
The adult-only five-star Balearic retreat is home to one of the White Isle’s largest pools (one of three) and is just a short walk from Cala Gracio beach. Rooms include penthouses, swim-up pool rooms and a luxury four-bedroom villa.
Plus there’s a spa. B&B in a double room costs from €300 per night. Visit okuhotels.com
