Mr & Mrs Smith

Tick ‘ramble through the pine forest on my doorstep’ off your to-do-list, or go horse riding – there are three places from which to get cantering nearby. Ask for details when you are shown around the house. Hire a 4x4 and take to the dirt tracks that criss-cross the pine forests in the north of the island. There’s limitless opportunity for golf, sailing, water-skiing, windsurfing, diving, horse-riding, go-karting and hot-air balloon trips, too. Speak to Deliciously Sorted to arrange.

If you've got friends also living or holidaying on the White Isle, make sure you schedule cocktails at sunset here. The villa is easy to find and it's a great place for groups to gather for a sundowner before heading off for supper or making the most of the barbecue.
