Mediaboss Marketing

Gap-year students and young holidaymakers have long spent a lot of money on trips to Ibiza admission to clubs such as Amnesia typically costs a minimum of 35; a vodka and mixer could cost 20. Now, high-end travellers are invited to spend lavishly too with the opening of a new restaurant that is being marketed as the most expensive in the world.

Set to open in Ibizas new Hard Rock Hotel this summer, Sublimotion restaurant is overseen by lauded Michelin-starred Spanish chef Paco Roncero and will charge diners 1,235 (1,500) for a 20-course meal. Only 12 individuals will be served each night and, in addition to sampling the dishes on offer, they will have the opportunity to experience a multisensory installation.

The restaurants communal table serves as a type of canvas upon which various light installations are projected throughout the evening. Speaking to the Daily Mail, a spokesman said diners can engage with the technology to imagine wandering through a world of sensations from the North Pole where they will enjoy a cold snack that they carve on their own iceberg or to the baroque Versailles where the elegance of a rose is sure to melt in their palate.

Although the restaurants menu has yet to be revealed, Paco Roncero is best known for cooking avant-garde, Spanish cuisine. Dishes at his Hong Kong restaurant View62 include tapas of low temperature egg with port wine reduction, and roasted peppers and tuna belly toast. His Casino de Madrid restaurant in the Spanish capital serves dishes such as Iberian pork with yucca and dates.

The restaurant will be one of many catering to guests at the hotel. Other eateries on the premises include Munchies, a snack bar unlike any youve ever enjoyed that serves grilled sandwiches and finger food, and 3rd Half, also serving finger foods and screening sports games.

And while few other restaurants serve set menus comparable in price to that on offer at Sublimotion, diners who wish to order from a la carte menus can easily rack up bills exceeding 1,235 elsewhere. Bangkoks Sirocco restaurant serves a 534 dessert that is complemented by a rare cognac or wine; New Yorks Golden Opulence ice cream sundae is made of Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream, 23-carat gold leaf, Amedei Porceleana chocolate and Chuao chocolate, gold dragets and grande passon caviar infused with fresh passion fruit. It costs $1,000 (596).

Britons who are intrigued by Sublimotion's light installations, but unwilling to pay that restaurants prices, can experience a more rudimentary version without leaving the country. Found in central London, the chain of Inamo restaurants uses similar technology and currently offers set menus with two courses costing 15 or three courses costing 20.

Melia Hotels International and the Caf del Mar Group each agreement to open the first Caf del Mar in Mallorca

For 34 years, the Cafe del Mar has been creating a sensory world full of magic on the island of Ibiza. The brand has already made the sunset a ritual in the five continents, and will now open a new venue on Mallorca, in Magaluf, one of the most beautiful beaches on the southwest coast.

Meli Hotels International and the Caf del Mar Group have reached an agreement to open the first Caf del Mar in Mallorca on the terrace next to the Sol Wave House hotel, complementing the superior quality hotel and leisure facilities within the Calvi Beach project to reposition Magaluf. In addition to the Caf del Mar, the new "golden mile" on the seafront offers exclusive hotels such as the new ME Mallorca and the vibrant Sol Wave House, with its innovative artificial wave machines, unique in Europe, plus exclusive beach clubs and restaurants, and a dock for yachts.

The renovation of the beachfront will be complemented this year by an outstanding pedestrianised area parallel to the beachfront to be developed by the Balearic Islands authorities and Calvi City Hall to further improve the quality of tourism and the social environment, and also satisfy a more diverse visitor base and generate higher profitability for the area.

The "Caf del Mar" brand atmosphere, its unique music and "style of feeling and living" is present in places as varied and unique as Singapore or Santo Domingo, each with their own particular characteristics that set it apart from the rest. Caf del Mar Calvi Beach will operate as a beach club until 6pm in the evening, organizing pool parties between 2 and 4pm in the afternoon, and with spectacular Asian food. From 6pm onwards it will open as a club lounge, with the attractions of a privileged beachfront location, chill -out music, and a live broadcast of the sunset on a huge screen installed on its terrace.

In addition to the Caf del Mar, the huge terrace of Wave House by the sea will offer options like the new and high quality American style burger restaurant "Surf Shack"; the "Banzai", with a healthy menu of juices and smoothies; and "Mumm Champagne & Sushi Bar", which will offer an exquisite combination of champagne and Asian food prepared by specialized chefs trained in Asia.

Cornwall is the most child-friendly holiday destination in the world, according to a poll.

The home of pasties, mild weather and the South West Coast Path had more recommendations in a poll of 2,000 parents than anywhere else in the world.

It came out top thanks to its beautiful beaches, child-friendly restaurants and the short journey time to reach it.

Family favourite: Beautiful beaches such as Porthgwidden beach in St Ives are one reason we love Cornwall

Devon, Somerset, Dorset and the Isle of Wight were other UK destinations to make the top ten.

Cornwall pipped Orlando in Florida with its vast theme parks and near-constant sunshine which was marked down for its long flying time of around nine hours.

The Spanish islands of Majorca, Menorca and Tenerife and the Costa Del Sol on the mainland made up the rest of the top ten.
