Book it for a quiet week of sun as a couple, with the dunes beach on foot and dinner worth staying in for. Check availability for a Deluxe Room. A small, hushed five-star of colonial-style villas around a heated saltwater pool, with a Repsol Sol dinner on site and the dunes beach on foot. Polished, formal in the evening and priced accordingly.

Book Seaside Palm Beach for Alberto Pinto's Seventies colour, the pool under the palms and the dunes beach four minutes away. Pay the step up to a Superior Room for the view. A 1970s resort worn as a design statement: Alberto Pinto's colour runs from the bar to the bedrooms, and the dunes beach is a four-minute walk. It is also a big family hotel with five pools and a kids' club, so the style comes with company.
