LIWYMI 2027
Two Trips. One Unforgettable Year.
Choose your escape: beachfront five-star luxury in Gran Canaria, or a multi-city South Africa adventure.
2027 brings two very different ways to make the most of your year with LIWYMI. Sink into five-star, beachfront luxury at the Lopesan Costa Meloneras on Gran Canaria's sun-soaked south coast — or trade the sun lounger for adventure with a multi-city South Africa journey taking in the buzz of Sun City and the iconic V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. Whichever you choose, it's all about shared moments, meaningful travel, and making memories with like-minded people.
Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa
Gran Canaria · Beachfront · 21–22 April 2027
Set on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, where the Atlantic meets a landscape of quiet drama, the Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa is one of the island's most distinguished addresses — and the setting for your LIWYMI escape.
The resort is built in the tradition of the island's grand colonial estates. Wide courtyards, stone archways and sculpted gardens create an atmosphere that feels rooted in place — unhurried, considered, and genuinely beautiful. This isn't a hotel that tries to impress through scale alone. Every detail, from the architecture to the carefully tended grounds, reflects a deliberate commitment to character and quality.
The Setting
Positioned directly on the beachfront, the resort offers immediate access to the Atlantic and the warmth of Gran Canaria's reliably sunny south. Two pools complement the beach — a large pool at the water's edge and an infinity pool whose shimmering surface appears to dissolve into the horizon. It is the kind of view that earns its reputation.
Dining
Breakfast is included throughout your stay, served in surroundings that reflect the resort's broader attention to detail. Beyond that, the resort's restaurants draw on Canarian culinary heritage — local ingredients, considered preparation, and a genuine sense of place on the plate. Dining here feels like a natural extension of the destination rather than an afterthought.
Om Spa
The Om Spa offers a wellness experience that goes beyond the standard resort offering. Treatments are inspired by the island's traditional healing practices, drawing on the natural qualities of the Atlantic setting. Whether guests choose a single treatment or immerse themselves more fully in the spa's facilities, the experience is designed to feel restorative in a way that is specific to this place.
UNIQUE Club
For guests seeking an added layer of privacy and personalised service, the UNIQUE Club elevates the stay further still. Exclusive breakfasts, privileged outlooks and a standard of attentiveness that anticipates rather than simply responds — this is the resort at its most refined.
In Summary
The Lopesan Costa Meloneras offers something that is increasingly rare in a five-star property — a genuine sense of identity. Gran Canaria's south coast provides the warmth and reliability that make it a compelling year-round destination, and this resort provides the setting to enjoy it properly.

South Africa: Sun City & Cape Town
A multi-city adventure — the energy of Sun City, then the icons of Cape Town's V&A Waterfront
Sun City Hotel
Sun City Resort, North West Province
Positioned at the very centre of the legendary Sun City resort complex in South Africa's North West Province, Sun City Hotel is where the energy of this iconic destination is felt most keenly. As the original hotel on the resort, it sits at the heart of everything — dining, entertainment, evening experiences and the buzz of Sun Central, the resort's vibrant hub of shops, venues and live entertainment. The pool deck offers a natural gathering point for the group, and the variety of on-site restaurants means there is always somewhere to eat, whatever the mood. Beyond the hotel itself, the resort opens up further still — two championship golf courses, Waterworld lake sports and tennis courts are all within easy reach. And when the group is ready for something truly unforgettable, a safari into one of South Africa's renowned Big Five game reserves sits just on the doorstep, waiting to be discovered.
Rooms
Southern Sun Waterfront Hotel
V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
Sitting at the heart of Cape Town's most celebrated precinct, the Southern Sun Waterfront places the group right where they want to be. The V&A Waterfront, the Zeitz MOCAA, the Two Oceans Aquarium and the energy of the City Bowl are all within ten minutes on foot — meaning Cape Town's most iconic experiences are essentially on the doorstep. The hotel itself offers 537 well-appointed rooms and suites, designed with comfort and practicality in mind across a range of configurations suited to group travel. Guests can refresh in the outdoor pool, train in the fitness suite, or indulge at the Utopia Beauty Salon and Spa. When it comes to dining, Yizani restaurant offers a contemporary take on South African cuisine, while the Waterfront Bar provides cocktails and all-day dining for those who prefer something more relaxed. Breakfast is included throughout, served as a generous buffet to set the group up for whatever Cape Town has in store.
