The newly opened TRS Ibiza might be located in the famed San Antonio– known for its “open ’til the sun rises” nightclubs – but this hotel is far more sophisticated than what you might expect. Ideal for those seeking an indulgent break on the blissed-out White Isle, the 378-room, five-star hotel serves up a luxurious all-inclusive experience with Jacuzzi and balcony suites overlooking the Mediterranean, as well as swim-up pools.

It may be 22 years since Avril Lavigne released her first album, but you’d be none the wiser watching crowds belt out the lyrics to her once-chart topping hits at Cardiff Castle on Tuesday night.

"Croeso i'r daith Eras!” Welcome to the Eras Tour. Just when you think nothing could make 67,000 Taylor Swift fans more ravenous for the capital’s gig, the icon herself welcomes them in Welsh.

Wales’ first Coppa Club - The Cardiff Townhouse - has landed. Located on The Hayes in the former David Morgan department store, it’s in a prime spot to become a hit in Cardiff. Billed as an all-day destination akin to a members' club, they nailed the PR campaign to make this sound like a bougie, place-to-be venue around the clock. But, I visited the restaurant/bar/co-work/event space as it opened its doors this week, and it left me scratching my head.
