There’s nothing finer than a luxury holiday. And if you’re thinking about taking a top quality vacation, there’s nowhere in the UK more luxurious than London. With fully serviced apartments, fine dining, boutique shopping and show stopping entertainment every night of the week, it’s no wonder that London is one of the world’s favourite holiday destinations.

Booking Your Accommodation

If you’re after the best of the best, you’ll most likely be looking for serviced apartments. Mayfair is the most popular location for serviced apartments in London, as there are many to choose from and they tend to be finished to a very high specification.

 

Not only that, but Mayfair is one of the most prestigious locations in London. Bordering Hyde Park, it also offers great transport links and easy access to some of the finest and most luxurious restaurants and shops available. There are many other fine places to go in London, but if you intend to make the most of your luxury vacation in England’s capital, Mayfair is the place to be.

 

The Benefits of Serviced Apartments

The difference between a hotel and a serviced apartment is that the latter offers features and services which the former does not. Ideal for business people, families or those in search of the high life, serviced apartments offer people a level of privacy and comfort which simply cannot be found in regular hotels, B&Bs or other types of holiday accommodation.

 

Another benefit of serviced apartments is that they tend to be more reasonably priced than hotel rooms, especially if you book as a couple or a group. So this makes them the perfect choice for people who want to book extended stays and really immerse themselves in all the luxury that London has to offer.

Explore London at Your Leisure

There’s so much to do and see in London that many people who are visiting for the first time often feel overwhelmed by how much is on offer. But there’s an easy way to find out what’s going on in London, simply by visiting the London official visitor guide online. Search online to find details about shows, exhibits, restaurants and sightseeing tours, or get in contact to find out what’s going on during the time that you’ll be there. Alternatively, if you rent a serviced apartment you will be able to ask for advice and information from your friendly reception staff, who will be more than happy to help.

Spain has a long tradition of lively music and has seen many composers such as Isaac Albeniz, Manuel De Falla, Joaquin Rodrigo and Francisco Tarrega take the music scene with a storm. However, while Malaga in Costa del Sol is a delightful place and offers many attractive things to do, it is not famous for its music. In spite of being more famous for bullfighting than music, there are a few interesting and great music spots in Malaga that would be worth a visit. Here are three of the most famous music venues to visit in Malaga.

 

Malaga August Fair

 

Fortuna Club and Casino

 

Located on the outskirts of Malaga, the Fortuna Club and Casino make people welcome with traditional Spanish music. Enthusiastic dancers in colourful costumes gracefully dance every evening, much to the delight of the patrons of the club. The stylish atmosphere, the daily music scenes and excellent service puts the Fortuna Club on the top four list of music destinations in Malaga. It is best known for its flamenco dancing. Formal dress is of course preferred but casual overtones are accepted. It is open throughout the year in the evenings.

 

Onda Pasadena

 

Onda Pasadena is another excellent place in Malaga, renowned for the variety of music it provides over the week. It is one of the finest clubs in the city and has live music everyday from 11:30 am onwards. The day is spent in listening to excellent music while sipping on drinks, eating and relaxing in general. Different days of the week sees different types of music, such as Jazz on Tuesdays, Pop on Wednesdays and Flamenco on Thursdays. The decor is stylish and the dress code is casual. It is open till the early hours of the morning, and is a very popular destination for both locals and tourists alike.

 

El Teatro Cervantes

 

El Teatro Cervantes hosts all kinds of dance performances as well as different plays, often musical plays. Famous artistes such as Art Garfunkel, Suzanne Vega and Van Morisson have performed in this venue. This theatre concentrates more on providing classical performances such as famous operas like Giulio Cesare, William Tell, etc. For those who enjoy classical music, the theatre often puts on the work of great composers such as Brahms, Beethoven and Mozart. Tickets can be purchased any time between 11.00-14.00 and 18.00-21.00, and the theatre is open throughout the year. There are special performances for Christmas and Easter. Dress code is formal, as can be expected.

 

These venues provide some brilliant music. It is surprising how many small places besides the above-mentioned also provide good quality music in Malaga, along with food and drink. But there are often music festivals like the yearly Jazz festival held by the theatre, the Malaga Fest held in Hotel Antebellum,etc. These are very popular in Malaga because of their liveliness. So let’s not be fooled by Malaga’s reputation as a city lacking music!

 

It can be relatively cheap to fly to Malaga however do be mindful that around some of the longer, more popular music festivals, flight prices can increase dramatically. It’s always best to do your research beforehand using a site like momondo that clearly identifies the best times of the year, month and even day, to book your flights.
