I visited the tiny European island loved by Kate Moss and Katy Perry that looks straight out of the Maldives
ARRIVING in sun-drenched Ibiza with temperatures soaring above 30C, you might be tempted to kick off your shoes and declare your holiday had officially begun. But persevere on your journey a little longer and you will be rewarded with some of the Balearics ' most unspoiled beaches. 8 8 Formentera, Ibiza's chilled-out little sister, has water so clear and turquoise, you would be forgiven for thinking you had landed in the Maldives. After touching down at Ibiza Airport, it's just a quick coach ride to the port, where the adventure begins. Following a scenic 30-minute ferry crossing, Tui is waiting with an air-conditioned minibus for the final leg. The destination? The Insotel Hotel Formentera Playa, which is perched on one of the island's dreamiest stretches of sand, Platja de Migjorn. We booked a superior studio room, and it turns out to be a great choice. Comfy and spotless, our room even has a little kitchen nook with a decent-sized fridge that's perfect for keeping our snacks and drinks cool. But the real star is that stunning sea view waiting to greet you each morning while you sip coffee on the balcony. Bliss. Days can be split between lazing by one of the two pools or venturing along the beach on the wooden walkways to golden sand. An early morning flight means that, after some speedy unpacking, we're lucky enough to steal a whole afternoon on the beach. Within minutes, we're running like giddy kids straight into the crystal-clear water. It doesn't take long to slip into the laid-back beach vibe, with mellow Ibizan bossa nova tunes floating through the air like a warm breeze. Best beaches in the world revealed At the hotel, bicycles are yours for the taking, free of charge, and with the island stretching only 12 miles from end to end, it's a great way to get around. Every beach and landmark is within easy reach, the roads are wide and safe, and drivers are courteous of tourists and locals alike. My husband, however, feels the need for something a touch more continental. So we swap pedals for petrol and hire a scooter to get around for the week. Soon we're zipping about in style, the nostalgic smell and happy hum of the two-stroke engine a defining summer soundtrack of countless European holidays past. Four miles up the coast, or 15 minutes by scooter, Cala Saona is one of Formentera's must-visit beaches. Nicknamed 'the jewel of the west coast of Formentera', it's tucked away in a beautiful cove, with shallow, inviting waters. Flanked by cliffs, it's also a sheltered spot, shielded from the stronger winds that often impact southern shorelines. No trip to Formentera would be complete without visiting Ses Illetes beach. 8 Named after the little islands ('illetes') nearby, this spectacular spot has earned a reputation for being the 'Maldives of the Med' — and it's easy to see why. Located on the island's northernmost tip, this narrow strip of rock is fringed by powdery-white sand and turquoise sea. At its very end, you'll be rewarded with views of S'Espalmador, an islet within Formentera's Ses Salines Nature Park, part of a Unesco World Heritage site. This islet made headlines last year when Katy Perry filmed her Lifetimes music video there without permission from the Spanish authorities. Refreshingly untouched Sadly, no celebs are spotted this time, although Kate Moss has recently been galavanting on the beaches of Formentera, clutching a Birkin bag, no less. And, judging by the influx of superyachts moored in the bay during our visit, the stars must be close. Last year, my plan to reach the very tip of the island failed — so naturally, it's at the top of this year's must-do list. Armed with sandwiches and more water than seemed reasonable for the two-mile round trip, we set off. The path lead us over low rock formations and along beaches that grow ever narrower. 8 8 Finally, we reached the end of the land, where the two tides meet. The sandbar is shallow and warm, perfect for wading far out while still being only knee-deep. That's one bucket-list item officially ticked. Back at the hotel, there is a range of activities to keep guests happy throughout the day, including yoga, massage, water polo and an energetic kids' club. Evenings offer diverse entertainment options, with buffet-style dinners that have enough variety to satisfy all tastebuds. Meanwhile, the hotel's South Beach bar provides a casual atmosphere, with day beds and sunken seats perfect for relaxing. Our evenings are happily spent here — cocktails and chilled-out music making it the perfect end to another sun-soaked day. With a week in Formentera feeling like two, it's easy to see why people come back here year on year. No doubt we'll be returning for another run of hippie adventure. Formentera is often hailed as the last truly authentic Balearic island — a little slice of paradise where time slows down, flip-flops are practically a dress code and the charm feels refreshingly untouched. Just don't tell the Ibiza crowd.

Princess Andre, 18, stuns in a white bikini on a yacht in Ibiza as mum Katie brands her 'my little stunner' after Peter's bombshell claims about ex-wife's 'baseless lies'
Princess Andre stunned in a white bikini as she shared a series of fun-filled snaps to her Instagram on Friday - amid her parents' ongoing feud. The rising star, 18, posted images from her Ibiza getaway, which were taken while filming her ITV show The Princess Diaries. In one snap, she wore a crocheted crop top paired with her white bikini bottoms as she posed on the deck of a yacht. After going for a swim with her brother Junior, 20, she was seen in another photo pulling herself out of the sea to climb back on board. Referencing a scene, which aired in the third episode of her docuseries, Princess captioned the snaps: 'Apparently fish love me… for all the wrong reasons. If you know, you know.' She was referencing a moment in the show when she panicked at the thought of jellyfish in the water. Her mum Katie approved of the snaps, commenting: 'My little stunner.' It comes just hours after Princess broke her silence on Peter and Katie's feud after her father shared a bombshell statement in which he accused Katie of peddling 'baseless lies' over the last 16 years. The influencer previously opened up about the impact of her parents' tumultuous divorce in her new ITV2 reality series, sharing she felt she couldn't 'go to her dad' after he split from Katie due to their dislike of one another. Now, with Peter issuing a blistering statement about his ex wife, Princess has insisted that their fallout 'doesn't affect' her. Taking to Snapchat on Friday, Princess took part in a fan Q&A where she was asked: 'Does it affect you even now when your mum and dad don't get on?' Princess responded: 'To be honest it doesn't affect me. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don't even have any memory of them being together' Over the top of the clip, Princess wrote: 'I love my mum and dad and that's all that matters.' On Thursday, Katie, 47, urged Peter to take part in peace talks - claiming Princess has been 'unfairly' dragged into their feud after there were rumours of a family rift because she didn't appear in Princess' show. Her mum Katie approved of the snaps, commenting: 'My little stunner' Hours later, Peter shared his side of the story, explaining: 'For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today. 'The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to se the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. 'In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.' He continued: 'In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. 'Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.' A spokesperson for Katie told Daily Mail: 'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. 'This was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. 'Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was.' That same night, tensions escalated as Peter's manager shared an ominous post about feeling 'dangerously angry'. Claire Powell, the founder of The Can Group management agency, previously managed both Katie and Peter, arranging for the couple to make a big money reality show and helping to make them millions. When the couple split, Claire parted ways with Katie but continued to work alongside Peter - now also managing their children Princess and Junior as well as his new wife Emily. Three hours after Peter's bombshell statement was released, Claire took to Instagram to share a post of her own that read: 'The most dangerous anger comes from someone with a good heart. 'They hold it in, stay calm, and forgive, until one day, they can't anymore. Don't push a good person too far.' The Instagram post was accompanied by Ruelle's song Secrets and Lies. Claire and Katie have been locked in a feud for years - with Katie recently bringing it to light again when she claimed that Can management had banned her from appearing on Princess' new reality series. Katie previously filed legal documents against Peter, Claire and their former representatives. She claimed at the time they were responsible for a smear campaign against her. The glamour model also blamed Claire for the breakdown of her marriage in 2009, claiming Peter was 'married to two women' and had an affair with Claire during their relationship. She had to publicly apologise to both Peter and Claire after she was taken to court and lost the case. Earlier in the day, Katie called on Peter to sit down with her and 'squash their beef' for the sake of their family. Speaking on the latest on the latest episode of her Katie Price Show podcast, Katie - who is currently recovering from more facial surgery - shared: 'There's no reason why both parents just can't be there to support her.' She continued: 'Now this isn't about me. I have to clarify this. I don't care that I'm not in Princess's show. 'I don't need to raise my profile by being on Princess's show, I do enough stuff. 'All what I want to do, is just whatever my daughter does, and it's the same with Junior, I don't care if I'm in the background, but I want to watch her do her photo shoots, I wanna watch her do her signings, because that's what I did. 'And my mom and you and Nan used to come along and support, and I'm proud of her. And I just wanna be there with her because I now I feel that I've missed out on so much.' Katie went on: 'It's so not fair to bring Princess piggy in the middle. 'So I think it's about time all of us adults just sit down and talk about what their beef is with me and just get over it. 'Life would be more at peace because I don't have a problem. I just think life would be a better place. 'Well, I'm not saying we all have to be best buddies, best friends, but come on. For the sake of the children, there's room for everyone to support your kids. Do you know what I mean? 'I'm not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families.' Elsewhere in the chat, Katie's sister Sophie urged her niece to push for Katie's inclusion on the show. Sophie mused: 'Ultimately I do think it's down to Princess to put her foot down a bit'. But Katie shot back and said Princess will be 'scared' to speak up to her management about what she really wants. She said: 'But, she'll be scared Soph. What you got to remember is when I started my career, I didn't have people like the management and all that around me. I used to get the train, go on castings, I put the graft in.' For a time, Katie and Pete were the golden couple of reality TV, with a lavish wedding and a string of big-money deals making them one of the most talked-about pairs in Britain. But things turned sour between the pair when their marriage came to an end in 2009 after four years together, with Katie claiming it was Peter's decision to walk away from the relationship. Much of the nation has witnessed the fall-out of the end Katie and Peter's marriage, and the string of public swipes that have been thrown from both sides. Princess opened up about the impact of her parents' tumultuous divorce in her new ITV2 reality series The Princess Diaries, sharing she felt she couldn't 'go to her dad' after he split from Katie due to their dislike of one another. She revealed on the show how she has a counsellor and previously 'couldn't just go to my dad' due to her parents 'not liking each other'. In recent weeks, Katie had been speaking out after being banned from taking part in Princess' TV show, which is made by Can Associates, with the former glamour model making not-so-subtle digs. Rumours of a 'rift' between Katie and Princess have been growing in recent weeks after Katie didn't attend Princess' 18th birthday party, or appear on the nepo baby 's fly-on-the-wall ITV television series Katie blasted 'people who used to look after me', believed to be referring to Peter's management company, on a recent episode of her Katie Price Show podcast. She went on a rant about the awkward snub from Princess' 18th birthday party with her sister Sophie as she cryptically blamed 'certain people'. Katie said: 'Princess is now officially an adult so mummy and Princess can now go out together. If certain people would let her be seen with me.' Sophie said: 'I noticed in her 18th birthday pictures she was wearing the shoes you bought her for Christmas ,' with Katie replying: 'Oh did she? I love that.' Katie added: 'Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me.' Her sister said: 'You aren't on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that's why. While Katie added: 'It's pathetic. I'm her mother. It's so sad. When certain people who used to look after me are now looking after...' Her sister Sophie then urged Katie to 'save it for another day'.

The campervan trip to Spain's least visited region that finally turned me into a grown up
I HAVE the palate of a schoolchild. Before embarking on any trip, I often load a supermarket trolley with Monster Munch and a Fray Bentos pie-in-a-tin. So how exactly did I end up sipping silky reds and nibbling padrón pinchos on a charming cobbled street this summer? 6 I had travelled through northern Spain, in a Bailey motorhome, to the Rioja region which, unbeknown to me, would soon shake up my tastebuds. Parking up at Camping de Haro, a leafy campsite in the heart of La Rioja (Spain's famous wine country), meant I had hearty cuisine right at my fingertips. From here, it's just a ten-minute stroll into Haro, a pretty town surrounded by vineyards and packed with wine bars, restaurants and ancient wineries. A recent report from the Spanish tourist board revealed that Rioja is one of the least-visited regions in the country. That meant fewer crowds and therefore more time to scrutinise the menus. And I can say with certainty that the menus here are nothing short of impressive. I had visited the bars on Haro's lively main square with one simple mission: to try proper food. Not pot noodles, not tinned ravioli – real local fare. Of course, tapas is well-known across the country, but in northern Spain, they serve pinchos. The name comes from 'pinchar', meaning 'to poke' or 'to skewer', which explains why each of the snacks I devoured at various bars had been neatly stacked on bread and skewered with a toothpick. They're keenly priced and ridiculously tasty. I started my food crawl safely with Spanish tortilla (or omelette, as it's sometimes known), followed by serrano ham, until I got braver. It turns out that Lomo ibérico, a type of ham made from cured pork loin, is a gateway food to another culinary dimension as by the time the night was over I had eaten my way through all manner of bizarre foods, even pig's ear pinchos. Not something my under-educated palate had considered before, but it was a surprisingly tasty way to broaden my dietary horizons. Each bar had its own twist on the traditional pincho, making it easy to sample a variety of small tasters. It's customary to order a glass of wine and a pincho or two, then move on to the next bar – and by the third stop, I was a convert. Although savoury pinchos are the most popular, a dessert alternative is available to round off the evening. Pudding on a stick? Genius. The next morning, with a clear head and a mild cheese regret, I took a tour of Gómez Cruzado, one of Haro's oldest wineries. Being largely a lager-only lad until this trip, here's where the grown-up wine lessons began for me. I learned about grape varieties, the use of different oak barrels, and how to properly assess a Rioja's aroma and evaluate its legs with a degree of confidence. The tasting was top-notch, and my host tailored the description of each wine to suit my inexperience. 6 6 6 Over a couple of hours, I sampled smooth whites and rich reds with names I couldn't pronounce but wanted more of. I picked up a bottle to take back to the campsite, along with some proper deli treats, and ditched the Fray Bentos for the night. Back at the motorhome, uncorking my new favourite wine and laying out some local cheese and ham, I watched the sun dip behind the stunning scenery that surrounds the campsite. It turns out you can still enjoy the great outdoors, but without the canned custard and tastes of home. If you're looking for a trip that's a bit off the beaten track, Rioja's a winner And if you're looking for a trip that's a bit off the beaten track, Rioja's a winner. Gorgeous scenery, friendly locals, and incredible food and wine. I came here to shake up my comfort zone and ended up discovering a whole new side to travel, and to myself. The Fray Bentos? Still tucked in the back of the van. But for once, it stayed unopened. 'Travel broadens the mind' is a well-worn phrase, but I can now confirm it broadens the palate, too. 6
