MALLORCA
Spain reopened to Britons on June 21, but unfenced the biggest of the Balearics earlier – greeting German tourists on June 15 as a trial run for the abridged season. All of which means the island should be in full flow in August. You can still book a villa via Mallorca Farmhouses (0800 121 8992; mallorca.co. uk). The three-bedroom Tia Catalina has a pool, and, set in Pollenca, is near enough to the (north-east) coast for the beach, yet far enough inland for privacy. It is available in the week beginning Aug 8 for £3,140; flights extra.
FUERTEVENTURA
It is a brave airline that launches a new route during a pandemic that has grounded most planes, but Wizz Air (0330 977 0444; wizzair.com) sees a sure thing in Fuerteventura – and on
July 3 began a twice-weekly service (Mondays and Fridays) from Luton to the second-biggest Canary Island. Return flights for a family of four, heading out on Aug 7, start at £745 in total – including checked bags for each passenger. A corresponding sevennight stay (arranged via the Wizz website and Booking.com) in a junior suite at the five-star Gran Hotel Bahia Real in lovely north-coast Corralejo starts at £1,677 with breakfast.
