Ibiza is the ultimate social chameleon. Want to dance until dawn? She’s here for it. Sunrise yoga more your thing? There’s nowhere better to try it. I’ve experienced Ibiza in all her guises. A cava-laden hen ‘do, a culinary-led couples holiday, a soul-enriching yoga retreat – and every time I love her a little bit more. So naturally, I jumped at the chance to return to the White Isle, this time for a heady dose of (just one) of the things Ibiza does best – pure, unadulterated hedonism.

Amàre Beach Hotel is nestled in San Antonio Bay with a sprawling, white-washed complex that encapsulates the bohemian vibe that’s typical of Ibiza. It’s less than 10 minutes away from San Antonio itself by water taxi and a 35-minute drive from the airport.

So let’s start with the credentials. There are three lounging areas – rooftop, main pool and beach – where DJs and live singers provide mellow Balearic beats and higher-tempo tunes as the sun goes down.

There’s also a 24-hour gym offering complimentary yoga and HIIT classes on alternate days, as well as a lush Germaine de Capuccini spa with soothing treatments to lull even the most stressed guest into a state of calm. Perfect for weary travellers.

But, let’s face it, it’s hard to be stressed at Amàre, with every convenience catered for and a real focus on comfort and ease. Sit back and relax on a plush sun lounger while attentive staff deliver tasty delights like melt-in-the-mouth sushi and expertly-crafted Aperol spritzes.

Our package included access to ‘The One’ lounge, which soon became my happy place. As well as tasty snacks – think mini salads, savoury bites, brownies, pastries, fruit and cute little cakes – there’s an open bar where you can help yourself to coffee, juices or an afternoon G&T if the mood strikes. With views out to the sea and across the glistening pool area, it’s the perfect place to take a minute to unwind, refuel or share a moment with your fellow holiday goers.

In terms of the culinary offering, Amàre excels. The breakfast and dinner buffet goes far beyond the usual offering, with station after station of local and international cuisine. Pan con tomate – a local dish of freshly baked bread topped simply with olive oil and garlic and juicy grated tomato – became my breakfast obsession.

For those in search of a little luxury, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant offers stunning views and a menu crafted by Michelin-star chef Mauricio Giovanini. Hayaca serves up extra special dishes like citrus-infused ceviche and tender wagyu steak for a fine dining experience.

Of course, balance is key and our time at Amàre wasn’t all sushi and pool-side spritzes. One of the highlights of the hotel is the stunning views from its rooftop pool, situated next to a terrace that’s perfect for a morning yoga session. After a night of indulgence and a quick trip to the San Antonio strip that involved a rather questionable variation on a Long Island Iced Tea, a gentle and calming yoga session was most welcome.

If you want to venture outside of the hotel, there’s plenty to discover. Ibiza is legendary for its stunning beaches and hidden coves – and there’s no better way to discover these than by boat. We boarded the Salvador Ibiza and had the whole boat to ourselves, monopolising the playlist with feel-good tunes and feasting on Spanish tortilla and rosé wine – hedonism at its peak.

There’s also Ibiza Old Town within easy reach, where you can discover the more cultural side of the island. During our visit, there was a Medieval Market taking place, a spectacle typical of this area.

Dorthraki-style men and women wearing tribal face paint and feather headdresses paraded through the streets beating drums and calling out to the crowds, while market sellers – always in character – looked on from behind stalls offering gifts and trinkets, from fine cheeses and home-made liqueurs to vintage-style jewellery and hand-crafted leather bags. After a little retail therapy, there are plenty of spots along the cobbled streets where visitors can enjoy a few sundowners and escape the afternoon heat.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m here for wellness and balance, but sometimes letting loose can be the best form of self-care. I urge you to find a few days to savour the indulgent food, enjoy the extra-long massage and dance all night under the sunshine. It sure does feel good.

Rooms at Amàre Ibiza start from €139 per room, per night on a room-only basis, €155 per room, per night on a bed & breakfast basis, and €185 per room, per night on a half-board basis. This is based on two people sharing an ‘I Was Here’ room.

I’ve been binge watching Maritime Masters, on Discovery+, for those not in the know, it’s a sneak peek behind the scenes of luxury super yacht, the Scenic Eclipse as it takes to the seas delivering guests an extraordinary, luxe travel experience like no other.

The first episode sees the Scenic Eclipse begin its epic voyage to Antarctica from San Diego. The episode also introduces and follows the ship’s ‘Masters’, the dedicated experts who lead the voyages. The Masters include VP Oceans Hotel Operations, Chef Tom Goetter. Goetter who oversees up to ten dining locations on board the yacht, managing chefs, and menus from producers to table is a handsome, mild mannered German with oodles of experience under his belt.

Goetter is no stranger to fame, he competed on “Top Chef Germany” in 2018 where he finished as a finalist. He trained under Thomas Keller and his team in Napa Valley and has travelled the world extensively, specialising in international cuisine with experience working at Michelin-starred restaurants, high-end hotels and ultra-luxury cruise ships. Since then, he has been the Executive Chef for the Scenic Eclipse, a six-star world’s first Discovery Yacht, serving a variety of cuisines, including Modern Asian, Asian Street Food, French and Italian. He features heavily in the show, alongside his team, innovating and showcasing unique, memorable creations.

House of Coco caught up with Goetter to get the skinny on what goes on in the kitchen of a super yacht and how he manages to switch things up while still deliver quality cuisine at sea.

The key to delivering exceptional dishes comes down to the preparation. Goetter and his team are at sea for around nine months of the year, so it requires lots of planning. “For Scenic I spent time on a river ship in Cologne where I created menu cycles, you need to have lots of recipes. We started with 3,000 and now have 5,000.It’s a complex process, our longest menu cycle is 30 days as we don’t usually have a guest on for longer than that. I calculate each dish down to the gram so we can prepare six months in advance and start sourcing the produce.” The menu reflects the destination, and this is mostly due to highlighting local produce which quite often is the biggest challenge. “Moving around is hard, you are relying on suppliers and resources on the ground which can change so you have to be creative and flexible.”

Goetter is known for his creativity, he takes inspiration from people and places. He says, “I travel to lots of places and listen to people from mothers to street food stand holders, they are all full of knowledge and that’s how you learn something.” Unlike some chefs, his kitchen is somewhere you can speak up. “I lived in Bali and was recently in the Scenic kitchen cooking a Balinese dish. The dishwasher in our kitchen is from Bali and he tried it and said that’s no good. I said cook it with us, teach us so we can get it right.” Some chefs wouldn’t have taken too well to criticism, but Goetter is free spirited, he wants to hear others input into the project so the food quality is excellent. He concludes “I don’t use fear in my kitchen, when you mentor people and give them a level of respect they are loyal and want to work for you and that’s important.” Which probably explains why all his staff returned to his kitchen post covid. I can tell just from our chat that Goetter is one of the good guys, someone you’d want in your team.

Having been on Top Chef, Goetter is used to having a camera in the kitchen and it doesn’t faze him. He thinks Maritime Masters has turned the chefs in his team into ambassadors and given them a platform to showcase their skills.

Goetter and his team want guests to have a culinary experience like no other. He says, “I love it when a guest gets on the yacht with prefixed ideas about a particular food or dish, then tries it and changes their mind. We want our food to make an impact, the experience comes when guests change the way they would normally eat and appreciate something new.”

The culinary ethos on Scenic is rooted in sustainability and innovation. Goetter tells me, “Sourcing local should be obvious, it’s extremely important to be sustainable. We don’t want to waste food on the ship, so we recreate dishes out of single produce. For example, we might take a carrot, dehydrate the carrot skin and use it again in another dish. If we see strawberries turning, then we will make something using them. We have sustainability competitions on the ship to see who can create the most innovative dish so there is no waste. We also grow our own herbs on board and produce our own fresh water.”

When he’s not onboard the Scenic you’ll find Goetter exploring tastes around the world. He says, “I eat where I am, I always go where the locals go, that way you get the best food. If I’m in Japan, I’m at the fish market or the spice market in Dubai. I love street food.” Goetter is travelling when we speak, he landed in Germany a couple of hours before our interview and is off on another trip the following day, sourcing more inspiration and ideas to make sure his cuisine remains ‘fresh’.

I can’t wait to see what Goetter gets up to in the next series of Maritime Masters. To follow his journey download Maritime Masters on Discovery+.

You may also want to choose between a fixed and a swivel rack. Fixed designs, just as their name suggests, stay in place and are often affordable. However, with fixed racks, it can be challenging to retrieve your boat. On the other hand, swivel racks make it easy for you to load and unload your boat, thus helping to prevent any damage from occurring. Therefore, select your boat hardware parts mindfully and get the best ones for your boat.

1.Construction

Just like the boat parts, it’s imperative to consider the material used to construct your rack. You can choose one that is made of anodized aluminium although others materials can be stainless steel or aluminium. However, anodized aluminium is the most preferred if you are looking for a construction that can prevent corrosion. Additionally, you may decide to add a brushed finish on your rack to prevent scuff marks, fingerprints, and scratches, which is an excellent way to keep your rack looking new throughout. A brushed finish is also an excellent value addition to your rack as it enhances its durability and attractiveness.

2.Boat Type

When looking for a rack design ideal for your boat, you’ll realize that there are racks specifically meant to accommodate some kinds of boats. While you may want to consider a universal construction design, it’s essential to go for a construction that is tailored to your boats to ensure they are safely and securely stored. If you intend to have more than a single boat, you can go for a combo design or you may opt to construct a single one for each of your boats.

3.Fixed v. Swivel

You may also want to choose between a fixed and a swivel rack. Fixed designs, just as their name suggests, stay in place and are often affordable. However, with fixed racks, it can be challenging to retrieve your boat. On the other hand, swivel racks make it easy for you to load and unload your boat, thus helping to prevent any damage from occurring.

4.Securing the Boat

Finding a fit that is ideal for your boat can be difficult if you have a static set of racks. In these kinds of cases, adjustable-width forks become significantly crucial in helping you identify the perfect fit for your boat. You can also consider other ways to secure your boat such as the levered clamps, bungee cords, and telescoping arms. A choice of one of these options is dependent on your preferences.

5.Attaching the Rack

An important consideration, if you’re deciding on the kind of rack that is suitable for your boat, is its attachment to the tower. While there are racks that only work on their manufacturers’ towers, there are also universal racks that will fit various towers. Make sure you establish what kind you have and see if it’s consistent with the tower available.

Final Word

Now that you know what aspects to look out for in a rack, you are more than ready to find yourself the perfect fit. There are numerous racks available out there, all you need to do is identify what will work best for you. You may also choose to design one for yourself and see how best it works with your boats.

The grandeur of Zafiro Palace Andratx washes over you as soon as you enter the vast five-star resort, with a backdrop of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains surrounded by glittering sea; a combination unique to the area that makes for some incredible sunset viewing.

The hotel is nothing short of spectacular and its various pool areas and dining options really make the most of those stunning vistas, whether you’re looking out to the coast, or into the dense woodland that sits below the mountain tops.

But what makes this hotel special – views aside – is its attention to detail when it comes to an all-inclusive offering. Gone is the notion that a package of this kind means a mediocre buffet dinner with some questionable family entertainment and in its place are chic dining options in an assortment of exciting restaurants.

Sure, buffet fans can get their fill at breakfast with a vast array of hot and cold options. But when it comes to the evening meals… there’s sushi, there’s steak, there’s innovative Italian cuisine. Not to mention little touches, like a free minibar that’s restocked daily and delicious treats (think chocolate-covered strawberries and colourful macarons) left before bedtime. We came, we saw, and we feasted like never before.

While Zafiro Palace Andratx is one of 12 Zafiro hotels in Mallorca and Menorca in the Balearics, it’s (currently) the only one offering All Inclusive Redefined package.

In terms of the location, one of the benefits of staying at Zafiro Palace is how close you are to both the beautiful coastline and also incredible mountain trails if you’re feeling adventurous.

The hotel sits on the edge of the Camp de Mar resort next to the Andratx golf course. Should you want to leave the resort (though I’d stress there’s plenty here to keep you occupied!) Andratx Port, with its numerous restaurants, bars and shops, is four miles away.

So let’s talk restaurants. There are four à la carte restaurants to choose from Caliu Steakhouse, Tastes & Sushi, La Veranda and Mare Nostrum – the hotel’s most gourmet offering. There is also a popular breakfast and lunchtime buffet restaurant, The Market, available to guests with a vast assortment of international and local dishes, with cooking stations for fresh options.

An extensive cocktail menu is available both poolside and at various bars across the resort – with alcoholic and non-alcoholic creations that go above and beyond the typical holiday Sex on the Beach or Tequila Sunrise (though I’m not knocking the classics). For me, it was a smoky margarita that became my sundowner of choice.

A culinary highlight was Mare Nostrum, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant with a creative menu. The dishes at Mare Nostrum were creative and unusual; think citrus-infused lobster with black rice or a chocolate cigar filled with mojito-flavoured cream.

Visually it was a delight, enhanced by a welcome glass of cava to start the experience. The views from the restaurant were also some of my favourites, looking out into the surrounding woodland.

Tastes & Sushi also offered an extensive selection of Asian fusion dishes, with mouthwatering sushi platters and yet more tasty cocktails.

The decor is miles away from the sterility many of us have come to associate with all-inclusive dining rooms, with linen-covered tables and elegant table settings, including pretty coloured glassware that adds some flare.

Rooms are chic and minimal, with local artwork adding warmth and character. All rooms include a super comfy king-sized bed, as well as luxurious extras such as a Nespresso coffee machine and clothes steamer, as well as cosy bathrobes and slippers.

My room had the added benefit of a small private pool with mountain views, and a hot tub on the terrace that offered a blissful end to the day.

There’s also a desk in each room in the property, which while that may not sound too exciting for some, for digital nomads like me who are always taking half an hour to write up some copy, having a space that’s set up for this is really beneficial. Oh, and the complimentary 24-hour room service also helps if a snack attack happens in the process.

There’s plenty to explore outside of the hotel, too, with surrounding Palma and Sóller within easy reach. I’d highly recommend taking the old-fashioned train from Palma to Sóller for an unforgettable slow travel experience. There’s also the option of zipping around on a scooter, which can be arranged by the hotel.

The region is also famous for its wine, with tasting experiences on offer. We visited the Son Juliana vineyard and sampled some delicious local wines, as well as an unusual light red from Montenegro that I’m still thinking about. There’s also a fabulous shop where you can stock up on souvenirs to enjoy after your trip.

And after a day of exploring, nothing quite beats indulging in one of The Gem Spa’s many treatments by Germaine de Capuccini. I opted for a decongesting facial to tackle the damage caused by the London pollution I deal with daily and left feeling relaxed and glowing – just in time for another sundowner to soak up some last views.

Nightly rates at Zafiro Palace Andratx start from £440 per room on an All-Inclusive Redefined® basis. B&B and half and board options are also available.

Comedy clubs are a great way to unwind and have a great time. The UK, and specifically London has shed loads of them. They all can cater to different tastes and places. If you want to avoid disappointment you need to do your homework and make sure you’re choosing the right spot for you!

It’s overwhelming sometimes trying to find the right spot, but we are here to help. It’s tricky to distinguish between one club and another. It’s also super easy to miss out on the little tell-tale signs that make some comedy clubs stand and be an absolute must-visit during your London chuckle adventure. 

Look At The Lineup

If it is not already obvious, looking at the schedule of upcoming shows can really help you figure out which club might appeal to you the most. While the club itself is important, the entertainment is the real focus, and you want to make sure that you are going to actually enjoy the time that you spend there.

Even if you do not see any comedians that you recognize or are that familiar with, it can still give you a chance to look up the lineup before you decide. Choosing a club with guests that match your particular comedic style can be a great way to almost completely guarantee that you will have a good time.

Look Into Venue Policies

It is also a good idea to look at the club’s policies for alcohol. Not all clubs are going to follow the same basic rules, and certain clubs may not allow alcohol at specific times. Others may serve food, but only at certain points in the day or from a very limited menu.

In simple terms, look into the specifics of each London comedy club. Find out more about what they offer and any limitations they might place on their guests, and see which club feels like the best decision. There is not a single perfect experience for everybody, so try to find a club that is tailored to your own preferences.

Visit Club Websites

The most obvious way to pick out the best comedy club in London is to take a look at their sites for yourself. While clubs are obviously a physical business, their websites are usually an important part of how they present themselves and can often give you details that you would not have easy access to otherwise.

These websites are also updated by the people who run the club, meaning that they should be accurate for things like prices, comedian lineups, or anything else that other websites might get wrong.

Use Reviews

If you want more details about a club, then reviews are a good place to turn to. Most reviews give you an outside look at what a specific club offers and can tell you what kind of experiences past customers have had there.

This can be important for clubs that are not as well-known, giving you a good look at the kind of experience they offer. Of course, a smaller club is also a lot less likely to have a deep pool of reviews to draw from, so doing your own research can be just as important.

Victoria Leeds has ignited the city with vibrant hues to ensure that the 18th annual Leeds Pride event becomes an unforgettable spectacle and TeamCoco Editor in Chief, Laura Bartlett, was there for the grand unveiling…

Welcoming the spirit of inclusivity and celebration, Sidney Street has now blossomed into Rainbow Street, adorned with a captivating mural that proudly displays the iconic Pride flag.

This stunning artwork, meticulously graffitied by the versatile arts project team, Graffwerk, known for their awe-inspiring street art across various city landscapes, will grace the streets for three weeks. To mark the occasion, Victoria Leeds hosted an exclusive viewing party at The Ivy Victoria Quarter. The event featured the award-winning BBC DJ and ardent LGBTQIA+ ally, Stephanie Hirst, who unveiled the mesmerising mural.
