Escape to a hideaway in the Sierra de Aracena & Picos de Aroche Natural Park

Life hasn’t changed much for decades in the Sierra de Aracena, the second-largest natural park in Andalucia.

Discover a hidden island steeped in culture and community

Nestled off the west coast of Estonia, Hiiumaa is one of Northern Europe’s best-kept secrets. Often referred to as Paradise Island, Hiiumaa remains untouched by the chaos of modern society. Instead, it’s a place where life moves at the pace of the tides rather than the clock. From ancient forests and secluded beaches to sailing trips and artisan workshops, experiences here are centred around authenticity, local culture and true privacy.

The famous Kõpu Lighthouse – which is one of the world's oldest continuously operating lighthouses – is representative of how the island has been shaped by the sea, while the culinary traditions and independent restaurants celebrate local flavours. Throughout the summer, Hiiumaa comes alive with festivals celebrating music, sailing and culture, creating lasting memories for visitors and giving them the chance to meet the island’s welcoming local community.
