### BOOK A SEASIDE HOLIDAY HERE: *Port Hotel, Eastbourne* 

If you’re looking for a cool seaside alternative to Cornwall or Brighton, Port Hotel has just opened in Eastbourne. Set in a converted Victorian building, the boutique hotel is located on Eastbourne’s beachfront parade, with 19 stylish bedrooms, a restaurant and bar and a suntrap terrace. Imraan Ismail is behind the interiors – rooms are simple yet stylish and have been inspired by the South Downs – while Alex Burtenshaw has designed a menu that champions local produce. After relaxing in the hotel, guests can explore South Downs National Park, walk along the pier, or visit some of the contemporary art galleries dotted around town.

### EXPLORE SOLO TRAVEL WITH: *Amica App*

If you’ve always wanted to plan a solo trip but you’re not sure where to start, download Amica, the new travel and friendship app which connects likeminded travellers and recommends the best spots to visit. Created by entrepreneur Heeral Pattni, it’s ideal for solo female travellers looking for someone to try a local restaurant with or to hit the town on a night out. As well as connecting likeminded women, users also get access to handy travel info, like what to know about the UK’s travel corridors and the best destinations for solo travel. Be sure to follow Amica on [Insta](https://www.instagram.com/amica.app/)gram for some serious wanderlust, too.

### BOOKMARK THIS FOR LATER: *Beachouse Ibiza*

If you’re hoping to get to Ibiza later in the year, or you’re planning a trip for next summer, be sure to add this spot to your itinerary. Having just reopened last month, the luxury beach club and restaurant is located on Playa d’en Bossa, surrounded by endless stretches of white sand and blue waters. Guests can spend the afternoon relaxing on a daybed, enjoying complimentary yoga, and sampling the delicious menu at the open-air restaurant, with dishes like zucchini burrata with fresh mint, and watermelon and tomato salad. Ideal if you’ve got little ones in tow, children can enjoy the day at the ‘Little Beachouse’ kids club while adults soak up music from the in-house DJs.

There are 103 rooms to choose from, each with a private terrace, plus two signature suites, and a special villa with a private swimming pool. Guests can relax at the impressive spa – complete with a hammam, sauna, indoor pool and fitness centre – practise yoga on an outdoor platform or enjoy a game of tennis on the courts. It’s terms of food, expect authentic Provençal cuisine, while Bar 1904 will be on hand to serve refreshing drinks. A great choice for families, the hotel has a custom-built ‘Kids Kingdom’ and an outdoor play area with a separate children’s pool.
