TUCKED neatly inside a cliff face in the heart of a Mediterranean pine tree forest, 180m above sea level, lies a haven perfect for relaxation and escape. Framed by emerald sea conjuring a breeze capable of carrying all troubles away, it was easy to forget I was in Ibiza - an island with more to offer than the vibrant nightlife it's become famous for. Sampling its quieter side was almost as if someone had pulled open a curtain on a secret world, where it seemed very few knew of its hidden gems.

AFTER a summer of widespread flooding in the UK, fierce forest fires in the Mediterranean and now Hurricane Dean wreaking deadly havoc in the Caribbean, it's fair to say we're still interested in the weather, and the impact it can have on our businesses. Dramatic events like these regularly carry a human toll as well as the bill for physical repairs. It all adds up to cost for business. Insurers would probably consider themselves at the front of any queue comprising businesses in which the weather is important.
THERE'S nothing quite like a tourist honey-pot in the depths of winter. The calendar classic, picture postcard, coach tour- cluttered-type places that put the phrase "theme park" back into Britain are magical when there's no-one else around. But few of these special places are quite as beautiful as the sanctuary-like Selworthy.
