Ibiza, Spain

Devoting only a long weekend to what is for many the ultimate Mediterranean playground—and a quick hop from Madrid, Barcelona and many big European cities—may seem like an insufficient sacrifice to Bes, the Phoenician god of good times who carries a lot of weight on the island, but it sure beats not going at all. If you stay at Atzaro (above), indulge in a spa treatment. The spa at this sumptuous hideaway in the hills is set in the middle of a fragrant orange grove. Fly Iberia to Madrid and then connect for the short hop to Ibiza.
